adidas has teamed up with atmos and its women-focused counterpart atmos pink for a fresh reinterpretation of the beloved Handball Spezial, giving the cult sneaker a distinctly denim-driven update just in time for summer.

Gentle Monster is stepping into the wearable technology space with a collaboration that could significantly shift the aesthetics of smart eyewear.

Crocs is stepping far outside its comfort zone with a new collaboration alongside Andersson Bell, transforming its famously casual silhouettes through a sharply rebellious, punk-inflected lens. First introduced during the Korean brand’s Spring / Summer 2026 runway presentation, the partnership reimagines classic Crocs footwear with a distinctly fashion-forward attitude that feels far removed from the brand’s laid-back origins.
