Salomon has officially launched its first global campaign starring BLACKPINK member JISOO, following her appointment as global brand ambassador in May. The “In The Open” campaign highlights the French sports brand’s FW26 footwear collection set against the backdrop of South Korea.Shot across parks, trails, and quiet urban corners in Seoul, the visual narrative was crafted under creative director Heikki Salonen to illustrate how the collection performs across shifting environments. Throughout the campaign, JISOO models key new silhouettes from the FW26 lineup, including the XT-6 Protective, the XT-Whisper Gore-Tex, and the XT-4 OG Gore-Tex.Reflecting on her partnership with the brand and the new collection, Jisoo shared her personal connection to the footwear, “I naturally prefer light and comfortable movement in my everyday life, so I feel that Salomon is a great fit for me because it provides comfort regardless of the weather or environment,” she stated. “I love how versatile Salomon footwear is, making it suitable for both everyday wear and outdoor activities.”The Salomon FW26 footwear collection featured in the campaign is rolling out globally for the current season via Salomon and select retailers. The capsule launches globally on October 7 via the Salomon website.

Name: Birkenstock x Cole Bennett Boston Wooly Moon BuckleColorway: WhiteSKU: TBCMSRP: TBCRelease Date: October 1Where to Buy: Cole Bennett, 1774Reconnecting a relationship that spans nearly a decade, Birkenstock has teamed up with filmmaker and creative director Cole Bennett to reimagine the iconic Boston clog. Launching in celebration of the silhouette’s 50th anniversary, the collaboration honors the original 1976 design while injecting Bennett’s personal narrative and cultural influence.The collaboration reworks the clog in a single off-white colorway built around an intentionally tactile wool-felt upper. The material varies in length, density and tone across the shoe, creating an irregular, shaggy surface that gives the familiar semi-closed silhouette a softer and more sculptural appearance. Bennett encourages wearers to trim the wool themselves and allow the pale finish to pick up dirt and wear over time, turning the otherwise neutral color into a surface intended to develop individual character.Inside, a soft microfiber lining ensures everyday comfort. Anchoring the design’s themes of imagination and permanence is a custom crescent “Moon Buckle,” cast in a striking antique dark copper finish. This bespoke hardware not only serves as a symbolic constant against the evolving wool exterior, but also playfully pays homage to Bennett’s own dog, culminating in a fresh, texture-heavy interpretation of the enduring classic. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cole Bennett (@colebennett)

MM6 Maison Margiela previewed its first collaboration with Havaianas at its Spring/Summer 2027 runway presentation in Milan, applying its signature fixation with the number six to the Brazilian brand’s instantly recognizable rubber flip-flop.The collaboration takes shape through two uniquely modified designs: the Slim 6Toe and the Top 6Layers. The Top 6Layers, pushes the idea into more sculptural territory by stacking six differently shaped Havaianas soles into an intentionally irregular platform. Runway imagery shows a white strap and uppermost footbed sitting over a vivid sequence of multicolored rubber layers, with flashes of red, green, blue and violet creating a striped, almost compressed-rainbow effect beneath the foot. Despite its exaggerated height, each layer preserves the molded texture and recognizable outline of a conventional Havaianas sole, turning repetition itself into the design feature.Meanwhile, the Slim 6Toe alters the classic rubber model to echo the anatomical outline of a bare foot, deliberately punching an extra toe slot into the silhouette to accommodate a literal sixth toe. The Top 6Layers was created exclusively for the runway and will not be offered commercially, while the broader MM6 Maison Margiela x Havaianas collaboration is scheduled to launch in May 2027.
