- Patta x Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite FG “Chrome”
Name: Patta x Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite FG “Chrome”Colorway: Chrome/Black-WhiteSKU: IQ3365-001MSRP: $320 USDRelease Date: Summer 2026Where to Buy: NikeAmsterdam-based streetwear label Patta is bringing its signature aesthetic back to the pitch with a massive new Nike collaboration. As excitement continues to build on the road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the long-time duo has officially unveiled the striking Patta x Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite FG “Chrome,” delivering a high-performance football boot loaded with premium, streetwear-inspired appeal.Following up on the previously revealed “Noise Aqua” pair, this new iteration leans heavily into a sharp, high-contrast aesthetic. The upper is enveloped in a shimmering chrome finish, dynamically split from left to right by mismatched black and white wave overlays. This specific color blocking serves as a direct, clever nod to Patta’s highly coveted Nike Air Max 1 “Waves” series, seamlessly merging elements of the “Black” and “White” sneaker iterations into a single, cohesive boot.Rounding out the pitch-ready design, the boots feature cream laces to slightly soften the aggressive metallic exterior, while a vibrant iridescent soleplate adds an extra flash of speed-driven energy underfoot. Subtle collaborative touches are present throughout, including mini Swooshes near the forefoot, “UNITE” badging on the lateral heel, and custom Patta Air Zoom branding on the back.Arriving in special “Team Patta” packaging to elevate the release beyond just the footwear, the mismatch theme perfectly ties the brand’s visual identity into a model that already carries plenty of momentum. With the World Cup rapidly approaching, this collaboration stands out as one of the most distinctive and culturally relevant football releases on the calendar.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
- Song for the Mute Has 4 Birkenstocks for 4 Different Vibes
SummarySong for the Mute and Birkenstock launch an SS26 collaboration featuring four distinct archetypes, from paint-splattered suede to black pony hair.Available April 16, the collection reflects SFTM’s long-standing connection to the brand, offering versatile silhouettes that range from minimalist leather to expressive, grass-printed clogs.Australian label Song for the Mute and Birkenstock have unveiled an SS26 collaboration centered around four classic models. Instead of opting for a unified aesthetic, Song for the Mute takes an unconventional approach, designing the collection through the lenses of four distinct archetypes.For the Artist, the suede Birkenstock London silhouette is splattered with paint as if a painter had been wearing the mules in their studio all day. For the Rebel, the Birkenstock Paris is rendered in black pony hair, putting a Mary Jane-esque silhouette in an unexpected new makeup. For the Gardener, the Birkenstock Super Birki 2.0, much like a garden clog, gets a tan rubber body and grass-print insoles. Finally, for the Birkenstock Collector, SFTM opts for a minimalist vibe in the Birkenstock Amsterdam, streamlined in polished black leather and embossed with the Birkenstock wordmark.With a completely different silhouette and materiality for each model, SFTM has a Birkenstock for pretty much anyone: from minimalist to expressive, from clean to lived-in, and from colorful to monochromatic. To let the range speak for itself, SFTM branding is subdued and isolated to a custom metal rivet for the collaboration.In an exclusive statement for Hypebeast, Lyna Ty of SFTM shared, “We were drawn to collaborate with Birkenstock because of its rich heritage. The brand has an incredible history and a diverse product range; it was something we felt we could relate to.”Further, co-founder Melvin Tanaya added, “We have a special connection with the brand. We have been using Birkenstock in our lookbooks throughout the years. We even created specific fabrics for it, even if it was just for the lookbook. We also have been wearing different models for years; it was always a collaboration we had in mind from our very beginning in 2011.”The collection doesn’t stop at shoes; the footwear lineup is accompanied by a complementary apparel collection, including four jumpsuits/overalls designed for each archetypal exploration.Song for the Mute x Birkenstock will be available from April 16, 2026, at 1774.com and songforthemute.com, as well as selected retailers worldwide.Photo: Song for the Mute x Birkenstock/Frederic HornClick here to view full gallery at Hypebeast

- Engineered Garments and Saucony Rework the Shadow Original With Velcro Straps
Name: Engineered Garments x Saucony Shadow Original VelcroColorway: Black, Brown, WhiteSKU: S71045-5, S71045-2, S71045-1MSRP: $125 USDRelease Date: Available nowWhere to Buy: Saucony, Nepenthes, Engineered Garments Tokyo , Nepenthes Osaka , Nepenthes Hakata, South2 West8 SapporoSaucony and Engineered Garments have officially joined forces to deliver the collaborative Shadow Original Velcro in Black, Brown, and White colorways.Engineered Garments, founded in New York in 1999 by Daiki Suzuki, has built a devoted following through its focus on quiet but intentional details. Following his years of buying for Nepenthes, Suzuki established a brand ethos centered on creating pieces that feel personal immediately and only improve with continuous wear. The label consistently avoids overworked concepts, favoring functional additions like unexpected seams or practical pockets that simply make sense to the wearer.This grounded mindset directly translates into the brand’s latest footwear collaboration with Saucony. Tapping into the heritage runner archive, the duo gives the Shadow Original a fresh utility twist perfectly suited for daily rotation. Engineered Garments strips away traditional lacing systems entirely, instead introducing dual Velcro straps that allow wearers to easily slip in and out of the shoe.Material execution remains a distinct priority on the updated model. Premium leather paneling adds essential structure to the shoe, ensuring durability without sacrificing the silhouette’s classic retro lines. Underneath the overlays, a mixed mesh upper keeps the entire construction lightweight and breathable, allowing the sneaker to wear comfortably throughout the entire day. By merging Saucony’s athletic foundations with Suzuki’s pragmatic approach to design, the resulting sneaker breaks in with the wearer and gradually starts to feel completely like their own.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
