This week On Our Radar: Aimé Leon Dore serves up more excellent styling, Carhartt gears up for its icon range, and C.P Company links up with One Block Down to prove Italy still sets the standard when it comes to technical garments.

The heat is turning up as it gets closer to crunch time. Taking the number one spot this month for highest release reminders, this triple collaboration has sneakerheads coming out of the woodwork. Regardless of where the Air Jordan 1 sits on the mantle of cool in 2026, there’s one thing that a fragment and Union link-up can guarantee, and that’s unprecedented hype. We will do our best to help you secure a dub, but you might want to get a box of tissues just in case.

Amsterdam royalty Patta are back, bringing out the Nike Air Max ’86 in its waviest form. Five years ago, the Wave editions were enough to get sneakerheads queuing around the block, but as time has passed, we wonder if they still have that same grasp on the culture. Of course they look just as great, and a couple of us in the office have got them high up on the cop list, so if the hype isn’t there that just means an easier ‘W’ for us.

A brand so heavy in streetwear that the Work In Progress division is just sticking to the staples. From uni students on a budget to your hip fashion-obsessed colleague, Carhartt’s universal appeal shines through its most simple workwear pieces. Recognising that, this spring/summer 2026 collection is full of crowd favourites such as the Double Knee and Detroit Jacket, giving you another chance to stock up.

ALD continues to set the standard for how catalogues are supposed to look, adding another notch on its already hole-punched belt. Now casting its eyes out to the ocean, Aimé is making bucket hats and fish-themed dad caps cool again. These nautical-inspired pieces are tastefully added between the myriad of New York Yankee logos and pleated trousers, so fret not, you can reserve all your fisherman-core activities for the weekend if you feel so inclined.

Getting the nod of approval from your Gen-Z cousin and Boomer uncle just got easier... not that you needed it anyway. Representing the new wave coming out of Italy is One Block Down, a brand that eats viral social posts for breakfast. Putting its own spin on the C.P. Company archive, the two are really proving what legacy looks like through a new lens. Although with the eye watering prices, we might have to settle for the Shearling Goggle Hat this time around.

NOCTA and Nike gives its basic fleeces a new gradient update. Giving you a choice between a dark mustard or a light blue, the Cardinal stock collection is a hot step away from the previous hues the subdivision has worked on. The ‘butterfly’ fleece pieces are exclusive to the NOCTA website, giving the grainy calisthenics campaign a softer edge. If you’re after new bits to worship the iron in, then the Cardinal capsule is a bit of you.

It was only a matter of time but polka dots are back in. As Britpop and indie sleaze have opened the door to the polka dot print, the Three-Stripes are giving us a familiar get-up with this updated Firebird track top. You might not be ready to sign the dotted line on your mortgage (pardon the pun), but who needs that when you can commit to a lifetime of wear out of this jacket. We know a few of the girls at The Sole Women’s will be all over this piece, so you know it’s worth adding to the wardrobe.

Having carved out a lane in the world of loafers, the guys at Duke + Dexter are now taking on the mule. Extending its library of footwear, the Winston Mule is another reminder of how seriously they take their craft. If you’ve been yearning for more open-back options in your rotation, then we have just found the answer to your prayers. We’re personally all over the Mocha Suede Mule, but each is just as strong as the other in this debut capsule.

If you were waiting to take the Swoosh’s latest recovery tool on the road, that time is now. Developing on from the 001, the 002 ditches the slip-on style and opts for a closed heel. Laces are also thrown into the mix, meaning getting about town while you heal up no longer have to be separate. In Nike’s eyes, commuting is just more time for recovery, which is something we can get on board with. That said, this doesn’t mean the top deck is alright with you putting cucumbers on your eyes, give that a few more years.
