Name: Song for the Mute x adidas Originals FW26 CollectionSKU: TBCMSRP: TBCRelease Date: October 16Where to Buy: Song for the Mute, adidasAustralian fashion label Song for the Mute and adidas Originals are reuniting for a Fall/Winter 2026 collection. Expanding on their highly successful partnership, the upcoming release continues to merge adidas’ sporting DNA with Song for the Mute’s signature experimental aesthetic and “slow design” philosophy.This season, the collaboration spotlights two reimagined classics – the timeless Samba OG SFTM-010 and the newly introduced SL 72 PRO SFTM-011 – alongside a cohesive apparel and accessories capsule. The collection embraces a muted, monochromatic, and earthy color palette that emphasizes raw textures, material contrast, and a naturally worn, nomadic style.Taking a completely new structural approach to an iconic silhouette, the Samba OG SFTM-010 transforms the classic low-top into a versatile, deconstructed staple. The most notable feature of this iteration is its collapsible, crumpled heel, allowing the shoe to be effortlessly worn as a slip-on mule. The upper utilizes a premium mix of soft leather and suede overlays, characterized by minimalist branding and tonal stitching that outline the classic Three Stripes. Grounded by a traditional semi-translucent gum sole that honors the shoe’s heritage, the Samba OG SFTM-010 will be available in three understated, earthy colorways – “Black,” “Brown” and “Green” – providing a sophisticated, highly wearable finish.Complementing the relaxed nature of the Samba is the SL 72 PRO SFTM-011, which introduces a modernized, heavily textured take on the vintage runner. Elevating the traditional slim profile, this model features a massive, stacked rocker midsole while the upper employs a patchwork-like construction that blends woven fabric bases with premium suede overlays. Rope laces and naturally faded finishes give the shoe an intentionally weathered, handcrafted feel, seamlessly blending high fashion with everyday utility. The SL 72 PRO arrives in “Collegiate Green,” “Beige” and “Off White.” To round out the footwear, the accompanying apparel line mirrors this artisanal approach, offering track tops, track pants, shorts, tees, and accessories that share the same earthy tones, relaxed fits, and meticulous attention to detail.

Name: Nike Air Monarch Suede PackColorway: Cacao Wow/Gum Medium Brown, Black/Gum Medium BrownSKU: IB2281-200, IB2281-001MSRP: $100 USDRelease Date: Holiday 2026Nike is giving the Air Monarch a material rework for Holiday 2026, rolling out a two-pair pack that moves the trainer from leather onto suede. The pack pairs a tonal brown “Cacao Wow” build with a “Black” version, and both sit on gum outsoles rather than the model’s more familiar white tooling.Suede covers the majority of both uppers, which changes how the Monarch reads more than any panel reshuffle would. Where leather gives the shoe its slick, uniform sheen, the nap here absorbs light and softens the overlays, pushing a trainer built for function toward something closer to a seasonal boot finish.Colour is handled differently across the two. The Cacao Wow pair runs brown from the upper straight through the midsole, so the whole shoe holds one register until the gum tooling arrives underneath. The Black version keeps the upper and midsole dark, which lets the Gum Medium Brown outsole do the work of breaking up the block and reads as the higher-contrast of the two.What the pack does not do is touch the shape; the Monarch’s bulky, layered profile is carried over as is. This release keeps the proportions the model has always had and lets the fabrication account for the difference.
