- The BEAMS x Paraboot Corsica Loafer Boat Shoe Is Peak Prep
Name: BEAMS x Paraboot CorsicaColorway: BlackSKU: 11320875099MSRP: ￥62,700 JPY (approx. $390 USD)Release Date: Available nowWhere to Buy: BEAMSBEAMS and Paraboot have joined forces to deliver an exclusive iteration of the classic Corsica. Serving as a hybrid silhouette, the collaborative model successfully merges the laid-back profile of a deck shoe with the refined structure of a traditional coin loafer.Crafted in Spain, the upper takes on a bold, asymmetric “crazy pattern” design that BEAMS is renowned for bringing to its collaborative projects. The shoe meticulously incorporates three distinct textures of premium cow leather across its paneling: a pebbled grain finish, a glossy smooth leather, and a soft, textural suede. This deliberate material clash adds an elevated, tactile edge to the upper while ensuring the foundational leather remains supple enough for immediate comfort.Down below, the traditional slim sole commonly associated with the model is swapped out for a robust rubber lug sole. This intentional design choice injects a sense of utilitarian volume to the sleek loafer profile, offering improved stability and a contemporary stance that pairs effortlessly with relaxed fits and wider trousers. Highlighting its versatility, the reimagined footwear arrives in two distinct, classic colorways—an understated all-black rendition and a rich, earthy brown option.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast

- The Clarks Originals Wallabee 2604 “Patent” Pack Honors a 1971 Customs Legend
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
- Celebrating 25 Years, Bluetile and Nike SB Take Flight With the “Monarch Butterfly” Dunk Low
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.
