THE 7 BEST NEW STREETWEAR CAPSULES:
01 / timberland x jacquemus
a celebration of color, craftsmanship, and contemporary design. jacquemus brings a playful new perspective to a timeless silhouette with the authentic boat shoe. arriving in a striking monochromatic lagoon blue inspired by 1980s memphis movement aesthetics, the limited-edition shoe is crafted in full-grain premium timberland leather and built upon the brand’s signature lug outsole.
02 / converse x tyler, the creator
the converse 1908 collection continues to move forward. shaped in partnership with tyler, the creator, the program’s newest chapter rebuilds the pro leather for the next generation. drawing cues from b-boy culture and hand-bootlegged geometry, this bigger, bolder take on the influential basketball silhouette drops alongside two new premium leather expressions of the 1908 jogger.
03 / nike x keely hodgkinson
generational speed meets elegant, understated style. fresh off a stunning victory in front of 60,000 fans at the london stadium, track champion keely hodgkinson launches her first-ever nike signature athlete collection. the global release anchors itself in clean, high-performance apparel alongside custom colourways of key road, race, and track silhouettes including the vomero plus and pegasus 42.

celebrating the brand’s iconic infinity wave lineage as a definitive subcultural status symbol. mizuno’s new campaign bridges the geographical divide by uniting independent universes over a joint love for energy and movement. the accompanying burning dust pack introduces six distinct parts, featuring striking heel-to-toe color gradients across the wave prophecy 13.2 and wave prophecy ls.

the high-summer extension of the brand’s mature rebrand registry. designed specifically for city transit, travel, and warm-weather settings, the latest instalment of the collection focuses heavily on lightweight construction, extreme ventilation, and packable technical fabrics, all rendered into softer, more relaxed silhouettes.

effortless parisian chic meets structural footwear design. the collaborative collection presents three classic silhouettes reinterpreted through repetto’s refined lens, featuring oversized sculptural round buckles on the arizona sandal and long, fluid ribbon laces on the opéra sabot, all unified by a signature vichy-check footbed lining.
