August is usually a slow month, people are on holiday, brands are gearing up for the new season, so it’s usually quite quiet, but not this year. This week alone we’re getting releases dropping left, right and centre. From new releases by Nike, New Balance and Mizuno to an exciting upcoming collab between Jennie and adidas, here’s what’s on our radar this week.
Jennie x adidas
Three Stripes is cooking up something very exciting. The brand just teased a new collaboration with Blackpink’s Jennie on its IG. The teaser reel shows Jennie making some contemporary dance moves, dripped out in Three Stripes with a light blue track jacket, black shorts and dance socks. It’s safe to assume this will be an apparel linkup, but wondering if there’s any shoes on the horizon. The collection is out September 1st.
Air Max 95 “Aya Brown”
NYC-born artist Aya Brown is making her Nike debut with this Air Max 95, bringing the energy that defines her work. Her art (and the shoe) celebrates black and queer womanhood. Brown reimagines her favourite childhood silhouette with genuine leather in Atomic Green and Black with visible University Red cushioning and a no-lace lacing system.
1890A “Cow Print”
New Balance
After releasing in a yellow snake print last month, New Balance’s Wallabee-like hybrid sneaker is back in a cow print pattern. As more hybridised silhouettes keep coming out, we can bet this crossover between a moccasin and a runner silhouette will be everywhere this season.

Supreme FW26 collection
After teasing its new collection, Supreme has finally revealed its seasonal lookbook. The streetwear label brings standout jackets (such as this Jeff Hamilton one pictured here) as well as graphic knitwear and tees, printed trousers, as well as homeware and accessories including a sofa, a cordless Dyson, a chrome scooter with a red leather seat, and a new Nike Air Max 2001.
London pop-up
London-based streetwear brand Extnded Family is doing things for its extended family. The brand’s hosting a pop-up in London this weekend, featuring exciting bits for everyone – including freebies, new pieces, tee customisation, a live set by Tay Jordan, and more sounds and activities for the community. Drop by the pop-up at Dray Walk Gallery, London, E1 6QL on Saturday 22nd August from 4-8pm.
Size? x New Balance 204L
An increasingly popular silhouette, the New Balance 204L is getting yet another makeover. In collaboration with footwear retailer Size? the NB silhouette is having a revamp for autumn with a brown gingham colourway and suede overlays.
adidas x O.Files Origami BW Army
Spotted in the O.Files’ Copenhagen Fashion Week presentation, the new collab between the Danish brand and adidas gives us a first for the sneaker world: pleated sneakers. Sneakers are dressier than ever. The shoes are currently on display at O.Files’ new installation, in which visitors can win a pair.
MG4

Air Jordan 4 “Rare Air Tour Yellow”
This 2026 reissue of the Air Jordan 4 “Rare Air Tour Yellow” brings back the grailed colourway on the shoe’s 20th birthday. The shoe stays to its original 2006 with a white leather upper, black support wings and a yellow midsole.
Reebok x Idea Club C 85
Reebok has partnered up with London-based publisher Idea Books for a new iteration of the Club C 85. The shoe takes on an all-cream colourway with a suede and canvas upper tagged with both the Reebok and Idea brandings. And it also glows in the dark. The shoe is available to buy now at Dover Street Market and at reebok.com.
