Name: BEAMS PLUS x Sperry MIL CVO “Olive,” BEAMS PLUS x Sperry MIL CVO “Navy”Colorway: Navy/Black, Olive/BlackSKU: TBCMSRP: $100 USDRelease Date: May 5Where to Buy: BEAMS, SperrySperry and BEAMS PLUS have officially teamed up to release the Sperry x BEAMS PLUS MIL CVO, a limited-edition collaboration that pays homage to the legacy of the Circular Vamp Oxford. Bridging the gap between the past and the present, the global drop contemporizes rugged military history for today’s style purists through a highly authentic, detail-oriented lens.Rooted deeply in Sperry’s original 1935 CVO — widely recognized as the world’s first boat shoe — this updated silhouette draws its primary inspiration from a military model produced by a US rubber company for the US Navy during World War II. To bring the project to life, BEAMS PLUS and Sperry meticulously reimagined the archival design by utilizing the exact tooling, construction techniques, and attention to detail employed in the 1940s.The resulting footwear is presented in two new two-tone colorways: Olive/Black and Navy/Black. Structurally, the shoe functions as a masterclass in vintage reproduction, incorporating a wider-than-usual side tape that connects the upper and sole. This functional detail enhances the classic aesthetic while ensuring modern comfort for daily wear. To further cement the archival illusion, the exterior is finished with period-correct elements, including logos reminiscent of original wartime contractor labels and carefully placed hand-stamped markings.The Sperry x BEAMS PLUS MIL CVO drops on May 5 marking the first time the collaborative silhouette will be available in an expanded size range of US men’s 4 through 13.

Name: Nike SB Air Max Ishod “Grand Purple”Colorway: Grand Purple/Noble Purple-Gravity Purple-BlackSKU: IR1887-500MSRP: $115 USDRelease Date: May 1, 2026Where to Buy: NikeSkate footwear continues to embrace highly expressive color stories without sacrificing technical performance, and the latest release from Nike SB is a perfect example. Pro skater Ishod Wair’s signature silhouette is getting a moody, tonal update with the introduction of the Nike SB Air Max Ishod “Grand Purple.” Blending rich aesthetics with skate-ready durability, the new colorway is built to make a bold statement both on and off the board.The design’s true character is derived from its expert use of color layering. Rather than relying on a single, flat shade, the upper features a dynamic mix of three distinct purples. Darker hues heavily wrap around the mudguard and the lower portion of the shoe, while softer purple tones highlight the eyestays, collar, and toe area to create noticeable visual depth.Balancing the dark, moody upper, a crisp white mesh tongue provides essential breathability and lightness, perfectly paired with bright lavender laces and a padded tongue lining. Blacked-out Swooshes and heel branding ground the overall aesthetic, while an embroidered “AIR” wordmark along the eyestay adds a subtle technical touch that defines the model.Down below, the sneaker sits comfortably on a mostly black sole unit equipped with visible Air Max cushioning in the heel. Adding a final touch of flair, a small icy blue-tinted chunk on the rear of the outsole offers a cool contrast that perfectly complements the purple-heavy upper.For skaters and sneakerheads looking to add a pop of color to their summer rotation, this layered release offers the perfect balance of softness and structure. The Nike SB Air Max Ishod “Grand Purple” is expected to drop in Summer 2026 via Nike and select skate retailers for an accessible price of $115 USD.
