The collab combines the unrivaled subcultural legacy of classic Construction Timbs with New Era’s heritage and the city's fierce Subway Series baseball rivalry. 

To complete the borough-to-borough fit, the wider collection also features matching New Era 59FIFTY fitted caps imagined in Timberland's signature Wheat nubuck palette.

Whether your allegiance lies in the Bronx or Queens, both iterations preserve the exact rugged DNA that made the 6-Inch boot a staple. The execution respects the sanctity of the original Wheat nubuck Timb while weaving in nice details from both clubs.

The Yankees edition pairs pristine Wheat premium waterproof leather with the Bronx Bombers' iconic interlocking logo embroidered boldly on the padded collar and tongue. Pinstripe textile accents frame the collar, paying homage to one of the most legendary uniforms in sports history. 

Meanwhile, the Mets edition executes the signature NY insignia in rich royal blue and orange embroidery over the high-grade leather collar.

The brand has done a few croc Superstars here recently, including a super-luxurious collaboration with Wales Bonner. But croc Stans? It's been a while.

The German sportswear brand makes the most of this rare moment, dressing the classic court shoe in leather uppers with a crocodile skin finish. It also features buttery leather heel tabs, the signature Three Stripe perforations, and a golden nameplate on the sidewall.

It's beastly in the most luxe way.

adidas has designed two of these croc Stan Smiths, one in the classic white/green and the other in off-white and maroon. They're both now up for grabs on SVD's website for $165.

The Stan Smith continues to venture beyond its natural habitat, having stepped into dress-shoe territory and even the ballet space.

Now, with croc uppers, it's the freshest stepper coming out of the swamp.

The Marie Jeanne, essentially Salomon's own Mary Jane sneaker, features an upper made of creamy leather upper and sturdy technical mesh. It's all dressed in this nice earthy brown and silver hardware.

It's essentially still the same trail-worthy Mary Jane sneaker at heart (straps and chunky grippy soles included). But it's very luxurious now.

I can't say that it's the most luxe pair yet, considering luxury label COMME des GARÇONS took it for a spin. The results were a couture-ish platformed Mary Jane sneaker.

The newest laceless Salomon shoes are by far the nicest general-release effort yet, though.

Don't get me wrong, the Marie Jeanne has appeared in nice rotation-ready color schemes. But let's be honest, these chocolate-brown leather Mary Janes are not only cutesy but top-tier.

Again, it's part of Salomon's "Alpine Echoes" collection, which also includes X-ALP and XA PRO 3D sneakers. The dressy brown sneakers essentially speak to Salomon's history in the mountains. Better yet, they're meant to "echo" its roots.

The leather Marie Jeanne has already sold out on Salomon's website (shocker). But good news: they're also available at select retailers like Slam Jam, which sells them for $153.

So it makes sense that “go big or go home” has been replaced by a far trickier directive: “go niche.” But niche-for-niche’s-sake is its own cliché — the real test isn’t finding an odd or interesting subcultural leader; it’s aligning its energy with your own, authentically. 

Luckily, there’s SOUTH2 WEST8. The cult Japanese fishing apparel label founded by Kaname Nagaoka in 2002 has become one of the oddest and most beloved collaborators in fashion — notching collaborations with not one, but two of streetwear’s biggest brands. 

Why? Well, chalk it up to the fisher-friendly company’s melding of technical fabrication with utilitarian aesthetics, plus Nagaoka’s love for Tenkara fly fishing, becoming the kind of nerdy lore that instantly attracts, well, everyone. Or maybe it’s that the pastime has major sartorial juice. It’s all the multi-pocket vests, river-ready jackets and parkas, and camo-print — packaged into the most lowkey, minimalist version of fly fishing around. 

All these factors add up to one little brand with an outsize impact on the outerwear space. Reebok, Oakley Factory Team, and Brain Dead have also come calling, for good reason. Now, Palace has taken a swing at collaborating, which is particularly notable because S2W8 is one of the few brands to also work with Supreme, Palace's biggest rival.

Its linkups with both streetwear titans makes sense on paper: SOUTH2 WEST8 started as an outfitter for Tenkara fly-fishing enthusiasts and grew into a fully formed clothing label with its own seasonal collections, which is genuinely cool. (SOUTH2 WEST8 is part of the greater Nepenthes brand family, which also includes Needles and Engineered Garments.)

Here, Palace’s selection of co-branded jackets, T-shirts, and track bottoms in a fairly standard camo print takes a more lowkey route compared to, say, the far more maximalist Supreme collection in 2021 — that one gave us kaleidoscopic prints and an actual co-branded Tenkara fishing rod. 

But that’s what’s so charming about this cult fishing label that punches far above its weight (because, really, what other brand can land collabs with streetwear’s two biggest brands). Whether a linkup ends up leaning more understated or exaggerated, the inherent coolness of SOUTH2 WEST8 can’t be washed away.

Of course, I'm talking about Nike's famous colorway and not the summer-approved fabric. However, it would be pretty cool to see the trail runner pull off a crisp suit.

The Zegama Trail doesn't go full "Linen" like Nike's iconic leather Air Force 1s or those Kith Air Max 95s. It incorporates the classic light-tan portion, yes, but it's paired with outdoorsy oranges and black accents.

It basically does "Linen," ACG-style.

And it's forever equipped with all the tools to power through a trail adventure, including chunky Vibram soles and waterproof GORE-TEX uppers. Remember: it does all that while still looking fly.

The newest pairs are certainly another handsome addition to the Zegama collection, which also includes stylish Zegama Hike shoes.

But for those looking for "Linen" hikers, the ACG Zegama Trail sneaker is currently available on Nike Japan's website for ¥29,700, which is around $186 at current exchange rates.

There’s nothing better than being put onto music in real life. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the type to get quite annoyed by someone telling me about a song as opposed to organically stumbling across the right song at the right moment.

Organic discovery is everything. Recently, I was in the car with some friends and Frankie Knuckles' “The Whistle Song” came on shuffle, giving me the perfect opportunity to explain to everyone in the car that I heard the song in Chanel's 2018 Cruise show and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since. Context is key, because if I had randomly brought this up it'd have been just a tidbit. But because we were already vibing with it, it becomes a more compelling introduction.

The sounds of fashion shows are quickly forgotten save for rare moments like Ye and Pharrell jamming front row at a Louis Vuitton show (RIP Virgil). That's sad because it shouldn’t be the case — with no music, there’s no romance. And that's just recorded music. Live music changes everything. Especially for fashion.

Before attending Copenhagen Fashion Week, I gave myself the task of creating a playlist of my favorite songs I heard at runway shows. The week kicked off at OperaSport’s show and the banger that is "Jeanne" by Air, which got me hyped for the week to come. And then, I was happily led astray.

Throughout the week, I noticed a mildly extreme amount of live music played day in and day out, making all the shows that much more memorable. Anne Sophie Madsen had a lady bring out five different types of flutes ahead of her models, offering a semi-formal contrast to the J's that were about to walk the runway.

Later, at an actual farm under a light rain, Skall Studios brought in a guitarist to sing the most beautiful Little House on the Prairie-type music imaginable, fully immersing me into a collection of cotton dresses and harvest baskets. Models skated all around Paolina Russo’s show, held in what appeared to be a a high-school gymnasium, as a battle of the bands raged on.

Similar vibes at Nicklas Skovgaard, where vintage cars weaved between the crowd to drop off models as a rock 'n roll girl group played classics like "Around The World," making me reminisce on the music my high school crushes would have put me on.

Collina Strada closed out the week with a three-piece classical outfit that played System of a Down's "Chop Suey," a Rock Band 2 favorite. Designer Hillary Taymour then hosted a Hus Party (which I learned meant "house" in Danish) with Levi’s where a live band let me live out my dreams of every 2000’s teen movie.

I’m so happy that my soundtrack to CPHFW consisted of real people playing real instruments, rather than just DJs being like, “Hit the play button.” No hate, obviously, but the human touch really made these shows feel meaningful, in the same way that seeing music live is one million times better than listening to it on Spotify. Not only hearing it but seeing it being performed right in front of your eyes, especially when it's an orchestral remix of a nu-metal banger — that's how you make a runway show feel like more than a runway show.

The anti-AI angle is cliche but it's true: When everything starts getting way too digitized, the human touch feels that much more special.

It lands with luscious brown suede uppers and a large embroidered Swoosh on the sidewalls, all paired with a thick off-white sole cushioned by Nike's Zoom Air technology.

The official colorway name is "Baroque Brown," which has been used to make other delicious Nikes including high-tech runners and Air Max boots. Nike even dropped a tasty Moon Shoe in the color.

The beauty of the Janoski lies in its simple yet trusty skate-ready design. It doesn't have to do much to be good. However, it has enjoyed some adventurous spins, such as velvet-covered releases and patchwork designs.

And those were nice. But if I had to choose, I'd go with the chocolate brown pairs. Why? It's a good-looking basic skate sneaker with a sweet side. Sometimes, that's really all you need.

As we speak, it's currently up for grabs on Civil's website for $100.

It even features the brand's iconic Air technology in the heel, essentially bringing the world-famous comfort to a Swoosh slip-on sandal for the crib.

What's more, the Air Max Cirro also features a softly padded strap with a leather Swoosh and techy detailing. See, I told you it wears nice lounge clothes.

We've seen the Air Max line evolve from sneakers to full-blown dress shoes and even summer-ready sandals. Nike has also designed other Air Max slides, some even directly inspired by its most classic models.

But the Cirro does its own thing while paying homage to its Air Max roots.

And it's been around, actually. With folks prioritizing comfort more and more in their footwear pursuits, Nike's been keeping the collection fresh with stylish colorways.

As we speak, the Air Max slides are now available on Finish Line's website in khaki and black colorways for $60.

The Skate Rowan Z3 is the latest example.

While the brand’s DNA is still unmistakable, this isn’t just another Old Skool rework. A gum outsole and skate-ready build give the silhouette that familiar Vans feel, but with a slightly sharper edge. 

It’s the kind of sneaker that looks just as natural paired with loose denim on campus as it does under a pair of chinos when you’re trying to clean things up.

The best part? It doesn’t forget what made Vans iconic in the first place.

Unlike plenty of sneakers that try too hard to reinvent themselves, the Skate Rowan Z3 keeps things simple. It’s durable and carries that effortless attitude the brand has built its reputation on.

Finished with a versatile colorway that’s easy to slot into any rotation, this is the kind of pair that quietly earns a spot as your everyday go-to. Because sometimes the best upgrades are the ones that don’t need to shout about them.

Inspired by maritime aesthetics, Crocs' Axle Suede Mule is the wearable embodiment of a classic clog made for the coastal elite. You know, if they were to wear that sort of thing.

This elevated take on a classic Crocs clog is kitted with a genuine cowhide suede upper that adds a touch of sophistication to the humble slip-on.

The aesthetic differences don't stop there, as the Axle Suede Mule also sports thin beaded laces for a little extra razzle dazzle.

Elsewhere, the soft mule sports reinforced double stitching around the upper and Crocs' GripRite lightweight traction outsole, making the simple shoe quite the wearable slip-on. Now, obviously, shoes with no real backing and weighty rubber compositions aren't the pinnacle of stability.

Crocs mitigates some of that shaky discrepancy with a grippy outsole that can hold its own with some of the more rugged clogs out there. What are these rugged clogs we speak of? Glad you asked!

When Crocs isn't leading the backless summer charge, the clog disruptor is working on its hybrid shoe game with some of the most non-Crocs-looking-Crocs sneakers out there. At this point, what can't those kooky clog-makers do?
