Italian sportswear has quietly become one of fashion’s most enduring reference points. Long before luxury labels started mining the aesthetics of terraces, tracksuits and archival runners, brands like Diadora were already shaping the visual language of sport through performance design and technical craftsmanship. Now, that history is being pulled back into focus through a new collaboration with JW ANDERSON, marking the label’s first-ever project with the heritage footwear company.At the center of the release is the Equipe trainer, a silhouette originally introduced by Diadora in 1975 for elite runners. While plenty of archival sneakers get revived today, the Equipe carries a different kind of weight because it comes from a pre-sneaker-boom era when performance footwear was still deeply tied to athletics rather than lifestyle. Jonathan Anderson taps directly into that lineage, keeping the shoe’s lean runner profile intact while pushing it into a more fashion-forward space through saturated color treatments and elevated detailing.The timing also makes sense culturally. Slim runners, technical nylon and understated athletic silhouettes are increasingly replacing oversized statement sneakers. The shoe features a streamlined build with a swallowtail toe, heel-wrapping outsole and subtle branded hardware, balancing performance history with and understated design language.The collaboration was first previewed in JW ANDERSON’s AW26 lookbook, and our Hypebeast exclusive features unreleased campaign imagery starring actor Conor Sánchez, photographed by Sammy Khoury. Available in four colorways — Green Night, Navy Peony, Empire Red and Princess Blue — the project also highlights the craftsmanship coming out of Montebelluna, Italy, a region long considered one of the spiritual homes of technical footwear production.The limited-edition release arrives May 15 through select JW ANDERSON stores, Nordstrom and both jwanderson.com and diadora.com.

SummaryNYC rapper Liim fronts the Procell x Nike Total 90 Heirloom collaboration, a vintage-inspired tribute to the 2002 football boot featuring plaid uppers and brown patent leather.Dropping May 16, 2026, the release marks the duo’s second partnership, leaning into Procell’s signature aged aesthetic and Lower East Side roots.NYC-based rapper Liim is the face of the new Procell x Nike Total 90 Heirloom launch, the partners’ second collaboration since their first footwear drop in 2019. The campaign couldn’t get more NYC (specifically Lower East Side) with the Bowery-based vintage boutique behind the design and New York-native Liim fronting the debut.Shortly after sharing a preview depicting a plastic-wrapped plaid couch, the Liim photos landed, featuring the matching plaid uppers and brown patent leather overlays. A tribute to the 2002-born “Air Zoom Total 90,” the recently issued Total 90 has resurfaced as a popular model among the football boot surge in sneakers.⁠ While recent Total 90 models have focused on bold colorways, including Silver/Black and Dynamic Yellow, Procell leans into its vintage shop roots with a softened plaid pattern and brown overlays.The collaborator first reinterpreted the Nike Air Force 1 Low with the “Muslin-Desert Ore” variant, rendering the typically white upper makeup with a textured off-white fabric. The aged look complements Procell’s aesthetic, a mix of vintage graphic tees, archival designer pieces, and retro grails, which have made the shop a favorite of notable artists like Frank Ocean.⁠The Nike x Procell Total 90 Heirloom will be available starting on May 16, 2026, via Procell (5 Delancy St, NY, NY) and select Nike stockists.

Name: NikeSKIMS Rift Mesh “Psychic Pink”Colorway: Psychic Pink/Psychic Pink/Psychic PinkSKU: IO7694-600MSRP: $150 USDRelease Date: May 14Where to Buy: NikeKim Kardashian’s SKIMS and Nike’s collaborative NikeSKIMS Rift Mesh is back with a new colorway of the collaborative split-toe silhouette. “Psychic Pink” arrives May 14 in a head-to-toe bubble gum pink finish, marking the collab’s most visually assertive release to date.The construction stays consistent with the Rift Mesh’s established build. Mesh covers the upper, keeping the silhouette lightweight and breathable through the warmer months. Soft foam underfoot maintains the shoe’s lounge-ready comfort positioning, a through-line across every NikeSKIMS Rift Mesh release since the partnership’s January debut. The hook-and-loop strap at the midfoot provides an adjustable fit without compromising the low-profile silhouette, and the outsole carries SKIMS “S” logo detailing in place of standard rubber tread, one of the more quietly distinctive construction choices in the collab’s toolkit.What “Psychic Pink” changes is the color register. The NikeSKIMS Rift Mesh launched in January 2026 across three colorways: Black, Velvet Brown, and Archaeo Brown, all grounded in the earth-tone minimalism that has defined SKIMS’ clothing aesthetic since the brand’s inception. A Satin iteration followed in February, again operating within a muted palette. “Psychic Pink” represents the first time the partnership has committed to a loud, singular color across the entire shoe, with the same shade running from the split-toe cap through the mesh upper, midfoot strap, and co-branded heel with no tonal variation or contrast detailing to break it up. The monochrome execution is consistent with the silhouette’s design logic, as the Rift Mesh has always treated the whole shoe as a single surface, but the color choice marks a deliberate pivot toward summer and a broader consumer than the one the earth-tone launches were speaking to.The timing aligns with a wider industry movement toward expressive color in women’s footwear, and within the NikeSKIMS line specifically, the “Psychic Pink” drop signals that the partnership is willing to test the limits of its own established palette.
