Name: Clarks Originals Wallabee 2604 PatentColorway: Silver, NavySKU: 26186501-P, 26186520-PMSRP: $170 USDRelease Date: Available nowWhere to Buy: ClarksThe Clarks Originals Wallabee 2604 arrives as a significant structural departure for the brand’s most recognizable silhouette. Released as part of the annual Wallabee Day celebrations, this iteration trades the model’s heritage soft-focus textures for a high-gloss, technical build designed to offer increased longevity and modern utility.The primary technical update centers on the outsole, where Clarks Originals has bypassed its signature natural crepe in favor of a specialized Vibram Milton unit. This high-performance rubber foundation is engineered for superior grip and abrasion resistance, providing a more rugged alternative to the standard Wallabee tooling. The outsole’s deep grooves and firm composition transition the shoe from a lifestyle staple to a piece capable of handling more demanding urban environments.The upper construction is equally refined, utilizing premium patent leather across both the “Silver” and “Navy” colorways. This material choice provides a structured, weather-resistant shell that maintains its shape better than traditional suede. Functional design details include tonal wax laces and a classic moccasin-stitch toe, while the interior is lined for comfort during extended wear. To mark the release, each pair includes two exclusive decorative fobs — a leather-molded wallaby and a “Wallabee Day” tag — alongside a subtle logo hit embossed into the heel.Referencing the date itself (26/04), the Wallabee 2604 name points back to April 26, 1971, when a massive shipment of 4,176 pairs arrived at JFK International Airport. In what has since become a cornerstone of the brand’s heritage, US customs officials famously mistook the crate contents for live wallabies. This moment of confusion helped propel the shoe from a British export into a global subcultural icon, eventually finding its home in the wardrobes of Wu-Tang Clan members and the dancehall kings of Kingston.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast

Name: Bluetile x Nike SB Dunk LowColorway: Black/White-Campfire Orange-MarinaSKU: IQ1323-001MSRP: $135 USDRelease Date: May 4, 2026Where to Buy: NikeFor its inaugural Nike SB collaboration, South Carolina skate shop Bluetile is delivering far more than just a fresh colorway. Looking well beyond surface-level aesthetics, the Bluetile x Nike SB Dunk Low “Monarch Butterfly” uses the insect’s legendary migration as a profound symbol of movement, identity, and the search for home. Connecting the butterfly’s path to the real-life experiences of Mexican immigrants, the release is a heartfelt tribute to the diverse individuals who bring color to and uplift Bluetile’s local skate community.The deeply personal project is anchored by the story of Irving, a Bluetile team member who made his own journey from Veracruz, Mexico, to become an integral part of the South Carolina skate scene. Translating this narrative into footwear, the Dunk Low features a dark black base layered with textured leather panels. Vibrant “Campfire Orange” details and rich “Marina” blue Swooshes mirror the iconic wings of the Monarch while also reflecting the sunset hues of Columbia, South Carolina, firmly establishing a sense of place.To further elevate the storytelling, the shoe incorporates several thoughtful design touches. Unique fuzzy laces add a tactile layer to the concept, while custom butterfly-themed heel embroidery and graphic insoles round out the tribute. The result is a highly detailed, community-driven collaboration where every element feels earned rather than merely decorative.The Bluetile x Nike SB Dunk Low “Monarch Butterfly” will be released via a special staggered schedule. The drop kicks off with an in-store launch on May 2, 2026, at Bluetile’s Columbia location, followed by a Charleston release on May 3. A wider online release will then take place on May 4 through Bluetile’s official website. Retail is set at $135 USD, though a broader Nike SNKRS release has yet to be confirmed. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bluetile Skateshop (@bluetilesc)Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast

Name: adidas Originals Samba Bowling “Leopard,” adidas Originals Samba Bowling “Core Black”Colorway: Core Black/Gold Metallic, Core Black/Cloud White/Ecru TintSKU: KK2824, KI9995MSRP: ¥33,000 JPY (approx. $210 USD)Release Date: Available nowWhere to Buy: CONFIRMED appadidas Originals continues to reengineer its most ubiquitous terrace silhouette with the Samba Bowling, a specialized hybrid that trades the football pitch for the aesthetic of the bowling alley. This two-pack release focuses on premium material construction and structural pivots that distinguish it from the standard indoor soccer model.Materiality is at the forefront of this release, with each colorway utilizing distinct textures to achieve a premium finish. The “Leopard” iteration employs a tactile pony hair upper printed with a bold animal motif, which is then contrasted by high-gloss patent leather on the Three Stripes and the iconic T-toe overlay. In contrast, the “Core Black” version opts for a sleek, uniform look, utilizing patent leather across the entire upper to emulate the polished, reflective surface of professional bowling footwear.Architecturally, the Samba Bowling introduces several functional deviations from the original 1950s design. The most prominent technical update is the oversized, vertical pull-tab at the heel, which is integrated to streamline the process of putting on and removing the shoe. This is complemented by white contrast stitching that traces the lateral panels, a design cue pulled directly from vintage bowling shoes. Both models are anchored by a low-profile gum rubber cupsole, ensuring that while the upper enters new stylistic territory, the underfoot feel remains true to the Samba’s performance heritage.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast

SummaryNike and Phaidon Press team up for a definitive 240-page hardcover archiveThe book explores four defining footwear silos including the Tiempo and MercurialAward-winning author Caleb Azumah Nelson contributes illuminating essays on football cultureNike and Phaidon Press have officially introduced Nike Football Boots, a comprehensive new volume documenting the unprecedented history of the Swoosh’s iconic pitch-ready footwear. From the earliest all-black leather silhouettes of the 1970s — the first of any shoe to feature the famous Swoosh — to the space-age innovations worn by modern superstars, the 240-page hardcover book serves as a lavishly illustrated homage to the beautiful game and the legendary boots that bring it to life.Structurally, the publication divides its vast timeline into four dedicated chapters, each unpacking a core product line that encapsulated the brand’s design ethos for its respective era. Readers are taken through the classic leather anatomy of the Tiempo (first released in 1984), the speed-engineered lightness of the Mercurial, the striking power-focused construction of the Total 90, and the modern advancements of the Phantom. The book also dives deep into the mythology of these boots and the legendary athletes who immortalized them, including Brazilian striker Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé, and Megan Rapinoe, who proudly wore the Phantom in her final game.To provide a holistic view of the crossover culture, the publication enlists an impressive roster of contributors. Award-winning author Caleb Azumah Nelson distills the nostalgic magic of southeast London’s football scene through illuminating essays, while London College of Fashion historian Thomas Turner breaks down the granular material and design shifts. Rounding out the deep dive is a special 12-page glossy insert that acts as the ultimate Department of Nike Archives boot room, displaying every model dating from 1971 to the present day.For decades, the football pitch has acted as a proving ground for some of Nike’s most daring technological and aesthetic advancements. Longtime followers of the brand know that the cultural footprint of these cleats extends far beyond the stadium. Silhouettes like the Total 90 not only prioritized striking power for the era’s greatest attackers, but they also birthed a bold, unconventional early-2000s design language that inevitably spilled into streetwear and was recently revived as a lifestyle sportswear silo.The Nike Football Boots book is available now via Phaidon’s webstore and select retail locations.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast

New Yorkers, you might’ve stumbled across a car wreck on your commute this morning – and not just any car wreck, a Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4-branded concrete brick crushing a busted, brand-less, black BMW. Welcome to the beginning of the BRICK AFTER BRICK rollout.Sylvester, in partnership with Brooklyn-based mixed-media artist FRIDGE, has set up a striking art installation outside Greg Yuna’s Mulberry St. storefront dubbed “The Weight of Progress.” Ushering in the formal release rollout for the imminent BRICK AFTER BRICK x Air Jordan 4 collaboration, the exhibit had everyone stopping in their tracks in the middle of the busy NYC street. The most contained car wreck you’ll ever see across the city’s five boroughs, “The Weight of Progress” nailed it even down to the details, with glass scattered on the street surrounding the staged wreck, and a “BAR SPIN” vanity plate on the vehicle itself.”It symbolizes the wins, challenges, and obstacles that come with achieving a goal and sustaining success,” explained Sylvester in an Instagram caption. “The path isn’t always easy—it demands consistency and discipline, but when you push through, the payoff is real.””From the start, it felt like a true creative dialogue – as we’re both from New York – there was synergy,” added Fridge. “The sculpture itself is made from about 500 pounds of foam, all hand-sculpted and then finished using CNC techniques to make it come to life. We used paint with sand and rocks in it to give the sculpture that real, gritty texture—it wasn’t enough for it to look like a brick, it had to feel like one.”The installation links directly to the companion, Tetris-inspired BRICK AFTER BRICK mobile game, which brings the storytelling from the NoHo streets and collaborative shoes directly to the screen, extrapolating the same themes of discipline and hard work to effectively cement the BRICK AFTER BRICK narrative ethos.At the end of each of the next three weeks, the top scorer earns a completely free pair of the BRICK AFTER BRICK x Air Jordan 4 sneakers.Take a closer look at “The Weight of Progress” in our reel below.
