The Jordan Brand is turning its attention to The Big Smoke for the latest in its series of city-inspired drops. Joining the likes of the Jordan 1 Low ‘Paris’, 'Shanghai' and 'Tokyo' editions of the Air Jordan 5, and the Air Jordan 3 ‘Seoul’, the Air Jordan 4 ‘London’ comes wrapped in a stealthy black-grey nubuck upper, terracotta accents and a bespoke ‘LDN’ stamp accompanying the Nike Air heel branding.

The viral Lightning McQueen Crocs are back to break the internet…again. This time around, Crocs’ somewhat surprisingly grailed collaboration with Pixar’s Cars sees the clog decked out in electric Dinoco blue, complete with a spoiler-shaped heel strap.

adidas has reignited its link-up with Blackpink’s Jennie, unveiling a full apparel capsule and a square-toed Mary Jane interpretation of the legendary Superstar. Arriving in both black and white, the shoe leans heavily into the classic dance aesthetic, tying the familiar Superstar toe box to a ballet-flat bow and adding an elasticated strap for extra support.

Pokémon’s 30th anniversary celebrations have thrown out all kinds of crazy collabs, including a pretty sizeable footwear run with adidas. A standout among them is a Charmander-toned riff on the Superstar, painting the iconic silhouette in cream leather, burnt orange, and fiery detailing.

Dipping the Air Force 1 in bold, polka-dot monochrome is a BIG yes from us. Featuring a triple-black upper, punctuated with off-white circles, the shoe feels elegant and grounded, but statement-making all at once…a little Coco Chanel, dare we say?

Reimagining the fabled 98 Mercurial boot donned by Ronaldo Nazário, R9 to most, the Nike Air Max Joga Bonito takes that unmistakable silver-blue-yellow colourway and plants it atop the cushioning of an Air Max 95 Sole. Football-streetwear crossovers are no new phenomenon, but this one... it feels that bit more special.
