The collaboration bridges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary city aesthetics, delivering a versatile sneaker purposefully designed for all-day urban exploration.Constructed with everyday comfort in mind, the “Day Tour” 2010 leans into a refined, nature-inspired colorway. The upper is anchored by a breathable dark grey mesh base, which is immediately contrasted by rich brown pigskin suede overlays. The earthy brown and beige tones smoothly transition into cooler hits of dark navy blue detailing across the tongue, heel, and laces. A subtle strike of red on the signature New Balance branding adds a final pop of contrast to the otherwise muted base.Equipped with signature ABZORB technology underfoot, the model ensures premium cushioning tailored for dynamic daily wear. Notably, the design takes a highly subdued approach to the partnership, completely omitting loud co-branding elements in favor of a stealthy, clean finish that allows the premium tooling to speak for itself.The Khakis x New Balance 2010 “Day Tour” drops February 20, 2026 via Khakis and select Korean retailers.

Name: Kiko Kostadinov x ASICS ILARGI FFColorway: Black, BlueSKU: TBCMSRP: TBCRelease Date: February 23Where to Buy: Kiko KostadinovKiko Kostadinov is tapping into the tabi shoe sneaker with its very own split-toe sneaker silhouette. Created in collaboration with ASICS, the ILARGI FF model represents a boundary-pushing evolution in the long-standing partnership between the Bulgarian designer and the Japanese athletics giant.Drawing heavy inspiration from the functional geometry of traditional Japanese tabi work boots and ASICS’ own archival marathon shoes from the 1950s, the ILARGI FF is defined by its iconic split-toe construction. The upper is characterized by a lightweight, technical build that prioritizes a streamlined silhouette, featuring a sleek interplay of textures across the quarters and toe box. A refined lacing system integrates seamlessly into the minimalist tongue, maintaining a low-profile aesthetic that emphasizes the shoe’s unique structural split.Underfoot, the ILARGI FF is equipped with ASICS’ FlyteFoam midsole technology, ensuring cushioned steps and responsive comfort for both casual wear and performance runs. A sculpted outsole enhances traction and stability, complementing the tabi design’s unique fit. The sneaker balances fashion and function, embodying Kostadinov’s experimental approach while leveraging ASICS’ technical expertise.The accompanying campaign, titled BUCKLE YUP: CUE SHOES, serves as the first act of a surrealist, episodic series directed by American artist Ryan Trecartin. Filmed across more than a dozen locations in Tokyo and Okinawa, the visuals feature a local cast of fifteen actors navigating a “glossy yet uncanny” world that blends the aesthetics of teen musicals with commercial pop tropes. Trecartin, granted full creative control, utilizes machine learning software to produce an artificial chorus of voices for the score, crafting an abstract narrative centered around delivery girls and online side-hustles. This ambitious collaboration pushes against traditional brand-artist partnerships, opting for a highly experimental format that reflects the innovative, split-toe spirit of the ILARGI FF itself.The model has been released in advance through the Kiko Kostadinov London store, with a wider global release slated for February 23 through the brand’s webstore, as well as flagship locations across LA and Tokyo.

Working in fashion requires performance. Though days may be full of creative conceptualization, there’s a physical toll that comes with spending time in front of or behind the camera. Creative director Greg Jackson knows all too well the physical aspect of creativity. As creative director of Greg Laboratory, a multidisciplinary creative studio, Jackson is constantly exploring the intersection of design, technology and cultural storytelling.Starting his career at a footwear brand before venturing into fashion independently, Jackson then launched his own brand in 2020, reinterpreting structured formalwear through a technical lens. He mentions that he usually wears a uniform, and that his pieces are meant to be mixed and matched with other wardrobe staples. The label is a constant work in progress — Jackson revamped his artistic direction in 2022, displaying the tenacity that it takes to keep a dream alive. ​​View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hypebeast @HypebeastBrooks Running has always led with performance, consistently producing designs that help support movers and shakers like Jackson. With his Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10 on, Jackson brought us along for a day in his life, hitting the studio, his PR agency’s office and everywhere in between. The busy day is all about being on the move, but Brooks provides the proper support from start to finish.The Adrenaline GTS 10 sneaker merges classic street style with innovative, performance-first tech. In 2009, Brooks released a future-forward model with engineered midsoles meant to adapt to the runner’s unique stride — out of this experimentation, the Brooks DNA midsole was born. This technology, DNA Tuned, leverages nitrogen infusion to provide all-day comfort. Now, this customizable cushioning meets the brand’s latest street-style ready silhouette. The Adrenaline GTS 10 comes in three metallic colorways — white, black and Canary green — informed by a nostalgic early 2000s aesthetic.Lacing up his pair at home, Jackson got his day started with some errands ahead of Fashion Week. The first stop was NYC streetwear and sneaker staple Extra Butter to check out the latest heat. Founded in 2007, the independent lifestyle brand has locations in the Lower East Side as well as Long Island City. The retailer carries the latest and greatest in footwear, so it’s an ideal one-stop destination for the newest drops.Then, at his Manhattan studio, he showcased some of his designs and worked on samples with his assistant. He shared that his brand is currently in the middle of production for an upcoming Spring/Summer collection — so between fashion week prep and workshopping, Jackson had a full plate. After the studio, his to-do list continued, and we headed over to his PR agency for meetings. All day long, the Adrenaline GTS 10 matched his pace, keeping him comfortable with top-of-the-line tech.Check out the video above to dive into Jackson’s full Day in the Life. The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10 is now available on brooksrunning.com.
