SummaryJJJJound applies its signature minimalism to the New Balance 1890, featuring a “tuxedo” aesthetic with black mesh, contrast white tongues, and sleek satin-like taping.Built with ABZORB midsoles for impact absorption, the lifestyle-runner hybrid is expected to drop during the SS26 season, continuing the brand’s series of elevated, monochromatic collaborations.Yet another JJJJound New Balance collaboration is coming this season, centering on the 1890, which has become one of the footwear brand’s central models of the moment. Following recent variants from Action Bronson and JoeFreshGoods, JJJJound puts its signature minimalism to work in an elevated black-and-white makeup.In a way, the JJJJound colorway looks a lot like a tuxedo: picture the uppers as the jacket and tongue as the shirt, and you have yourself a tux in a sneaker. Over black mesh uppers, black overlays and taping, contrast with a white tongue and midsoles. The sleek black taping is what gives this pair a swanky edge, resembling the satin lapels you’d find on a jacket.With an underfoot build inspired by the 2002 and synthetic uppers inspired by the 890v3, the 1890 is one of New Balance’s later explorations of the lifestyle-runner intersection. Notably, the ABZORB midsole provides impact absorption through its fusion of cushioning and compression resistance.As it goes, JJJJound didn’t alter the technical aspects so much as the materials/color updates and the co-branded wordmarks, including JJJJound shown on the insoles and quietly on the lateral panel. Compared to Action Bronson’s color-drenched variants or even the Comme des Garçons HOMME x New Balance U1890A, the Montreal studio’s tux-like take on the sneaker is subtler on all fronts — from color to construction.As of the time of writing, JJJJound has yet to announce the release date for its New Balance 1890, but you can certainly expect the model to arrive within the SS26 season, as noted in JJJJound’s post.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast

By merging traditional Italian leatherwork with modern ergonomic upgrades, Converse has transformed the utilitarian Chuck Taylor into a high-luxury footwear staple that prioritizes both material depth and long-term durability.The core of the “Leather Woven” execution is its complex upper, which utilizes premium calf leather strips woven into a pattern reminiscent of heritage Italian luxury goods.

The silhouette also introduces several subtle but significant shifts in proportion, including a shortened toe cap and a revised, wider last designed to accommodate a broader range of modern foot shapes while maintaining the sneaker’s classic streamlined aesthetic.Under the hood, the First String model moves away from standard canvas construction toward a performance-oriented setup. The integration of a Vibram Runner outsole the “gold standard” in traction and temperature regulation. Comfort is further bolstered by an advanced insole system that combines Converse’s proprietary CX foam with Nike Air technology, delivering a smooth ride through enhanced impact absorption. Polished eyelets and tonal, wheeled pinstripes on the midsole complete the refined technical treatment, while the oversized license plate on the heel references archival designs from the late 1950s.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast

Name: Air Jordan 4 “Black Laser”Colorway: TBCSKU: IR2070-001MSRP: TBCRelease Date: February 2027Jordan Brand is reportedly reviving a monumental piece of its mid-2000s catalog, with the Air Jordan 4 “Black Laser” slated to return in February 2027. According to SneakerFiles/zsneakerheadz, the upcoming release will mark the first time the specific colorway has hit retail since its original, highly coveted drop over two decades ago.The 2027 retro is expected to stay faithful to the original construction. The silhouette will feature a stealthy black leather base completely covered in the signature detailed graphics. Delivering strict contrast, bold red accents will hit the Jumpman branding, inner lining, and the backside of the tongue. The design is then grounded by subtle grey hits across the heel panel and portions of the midsole.For those deeply entrenched in sneaker history, the “Laser” series represents a pivotal era of experimentation. Originally debuted in August 2005 alongside its “White Laser” counterpart, the design language arrived during the 20th-anniversary celebration of the Air Jordan lineage. During this time, Jordan Brand began actively leaning into lifestyle-focused storytelling, utilizing intricate, all-over laser etching to map out the visual history of Michael Jordan’s career across the leather upper. While the brand has revisited the laser concept sparingly in the years since — most notably with the 2015 “White/Chrome” and 2019 “Black/White-Gum” iterations — the return of the exact 2005 black and red color-blocking is a major pull for archival collectors.Stay tuned for official confirmation and imagery in the coming months.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
