Name: adidas Originals TOBACCO KOYO atmos sneakersColorway: Navy, BrownSKU: KZ6431, KZ6432MSRP: ¥17,600 JPY (approx. $112 USD)Release Date: September 25Where to Buy: atmosadidas Originals and atmos revisit the long-running Tobacco silhouette with the TOBACCO atmos “KOYO,” a two-color collaboration inspired by kōyō — Japan’s seasonal display of changing autumn leaves. The project follows the partners’ 2025 “Nenrin” edition, which referenced the growth rings of an aged tree; this chapter imagines that same natural motif progressing into autumn.One pair takes on a deep navy waterproof leather upper with vivid yellow velour Three Stripes, creating a sharp contrast intended to recall golden ginkgo leaves against the subdued tones of late autumn. The second opts for a warmer brown leather base accented by reddish-orange velour stripes, evoking sunlit foliage and the deeper rust tones of an autumn forest. Across both, the Tobacco’s low-profile, retro shape and dark tonal sole keep the construction grounded, while the plush velour branding adds a richer, softly reflective texture against the smoother leather upper.Both models upgrade the classic silhouette with functional waterproof leather uppers, seamlessly blending retro aesthetics with practical, all-weather durability. The interior reveals a custom graphic on the insoles, where an array of colorful autumn leaves is thoughtfully arranged to form the classic adidas Trefoil logo, alongside a prominent “DESIGNED IN TOKYO” label that pays homage to the project’s creative origins. Adding a final tactile element to the nature-inspired theme, each pair includes a set of matching extra laces and a custom wooden charm bearing the Trefoil logo.

Name: Kith K-Tech Fall 2026MSRP: $180- 190 USDRelease Date: Available NowWhere to Buy: KithKith and On are expanding their collaborative footwear partnership for Fall 2026 with the introduction of the K-Tech 3, the duo’s first dedicated lifestyle silhouette. Building upon the foundation of their previous releases, the new K-Tech 3 features a highly textured upper crafted from technical woven mesh and layered with premium suede overlays.Two colorways offer markedly different treatments: Ivory/Storm layers creamy mesh and pale suede with yellow-green detailing around the heel and branding, finished by a contrasting teal-toned midsole edge, while Black/Black takes a more understated approach with tonal black mesh, matte suede and matching tooling that lets the differences in texture define the shoe. Co-branding appears across the tongue, footbed and lateral side, with K&K artwork placed medially.The new drop also revisits the earlier K-Tech 1 and K-Tech 2 with new seasonal finishes. The performance-focused K-Tech 1 appears in Shark/Ox, combining a cool grey, subtly purplish technical mesh upper with darker overlays and an almost-black sculpted CloudTec® sole; underneath, a dual-density Helion™ foam midsole, Speedboard® and Kith Monogram tread maintain its running-oriented specifications.The everyday K-Tech 2 arrives in Grain/Taiga, mixing cream open mesh with muted olive, pale blue-grey and brown suede against dark tooling, and Ruby/Ox, which shifts into burgundy mesh, dusty pink suede and deep berry accents for a richer tonal effect. Both K-Tech 2 versions retain the segmented CloudTec® tooling and dual-density Helion™ foam used across the performance platform. The footwear accompanies K-Tech’s broader Fall 2026 apparel offering of lightweight jackets, moisture-wicking tops, technical pants and shorts, plus accessories.

Name: URBAN RESEARCH × Salomon XA PRO 3D GTX “Brown”Colorway: “Brown”SKU: TBCMSRP: ¥23,100 JPY (approx. $147 USD)Release Date: October 2026URBAN RESEARCH reunites with Salomon for another exclusive color treatment, this time applying a subdued “Brown” palette to the XA PRO 3D GTX. Currently announced as a single colorway, the trail-derived silhouette combines a deep brown-to-burgundy mesh base with glossy black structural overlays, while cool slate-blue and grey panels cut through the darker upper for a subtle contrast.Reflective-looking trim around the angular cage and heel brings additional definition to the layered construction, complemented by black Quicklace-style lacing, a protective toe structure and a predominantly black sole unit. Large Salomon branding across the heel provides one of the clearest graphic accents, giving the otherwise earthy treatment a distinctly technical finish.Functionality remains rooted in the XA PRO 3D GTX’s outdoor origins, pairing its supportive, reinforced upper with GORE-TEX weather protection and a substantial trail-ready outsole designed to maintain stability and traction across changing conditions.
