We’re reaching the 2026 World Cup finals, can you believe it? And Jude Bellingham’s got us to the semi-finals. But, while we’ve been busy locked in watching World Cup edits on our FYPs, we’re missing other news. There’s new releases by Nike, the New Balance 204V is finally dropping, there’s another Pokémon collab, Corteiz hosted a festival, and more drops and news on our radar this week.

After being spotted in the Peachy Den Summer 2026 campaign (making us think that it’s going to be a collab), and then being teased by content creators, the New Balance 204V is finally dropping tomorrow.

Pokémon seems to be the collab of the hour, and the most recent linkup is with multi-disciplinary designer Sean Wotherspoon. The collab introduces a specialised Pokémon Center Original plush collection with Wotherspoon’s signature aesthetic of archive Americana featuring fan-favourites Bulbasaur, Charizard and Pikachu. Collection drops July 26th on a pre-order basis at pokemoncenter.com.
The OG Air Jordan 3 True Blue is making a comeback this week, for the first time in a decade. This shoe was one of four original colourways of Michael Jordan’s signature shoe in 1988, and allegedly it was the only version he didn’t wear in an NBA game as a player for the Chicago Bulls. He did wear them for the 1988 Olympic trials, though.

Corteiz staged its first ever festival collab in Paris this month, in partnership with Yardland. The takeover fused French and British culture with headliners including Skepta and Jorja Smith – and the energy was wild.
We did it, lads. We beat Erling Haarland (did you see him returning home with a taxidermy raccoon?) and the rest of the Norway team and are playing against Argentina tomorrow night (interestingly this is the first time Lionel Messi is playing against England). It’s going to be a battle, but we trust Jude Bellingham to see us through to the World Cup finals.
Little Simz has been a Miu Miu ambassador for a hot minute, featuring in campaigns and runway shows, and now she’s the face of the brand’s new summer perfume, Fleur de Lait.

Fanatics and Complex have linked up with Major League Baseball and Brooklyn-based artist Kaws for a limited-edition capsule. The collection reimagines the New York Yankees and Dodgers branding with Kaws’ signature motifs. The capsule features Nike jerseys, T-shirts, hoodies and caps, as well as baseball equipment. Launches globally on July 20th via Complex.

Nike’s Air Max 95 in the Solar Red colourway makes its return, but with a twist – it’s got a reverse gradient. The Reverse Solar Red’s layers fade from a black tone on the upper to grey to a white midsole with a cult red bubble. Drops July 17th.
