Name: NN.07 x Fracap M127 BootsMSRP: $450 USDRelease Date: September 24Where to Buy: NN.07NN.07 has teamed up with Fracap for their third collaborative footwear release. Built on heavy-duty Vibram soles for optimal grip, the rugged M127 boot silhouette preserves essential mountain features – including durable stitching, robust lacing systems, and weather-ready construction – while refining the upper with clean lines and pared-back proportions cut with the restraint of a tailored shoe. The result is a versatile boot that navigates switchbacks and city sidewalks with equal ease.Three material treatments give the same construction distinct qualities. Brown Leather draws most directly from Fracap’s archive, with the press release describing its finish as worn-in and honest, emphasizing the boot’s traditional alpine character. Black Leather recasts the silhouette in a darker, cleaner treatment intended to feel more at home in the city, allowing the shape and hardware to read more sharply against the monochromatic upper.The most textural option, Dark Grey Ponyhair, replaces smooth leather with a tactile, visibly directional surface; its charcoal-grey tone keeps the palette understated while the unexpected material pushes the rugged form toward a more fashion-led finish. The third NN.07 x Fracap M127 boots will launch on September 24 via NN07.com and select retailers worldwide.

Name: Harris Tweed x Vans Premium CollectionMSRP: $120 – $140 USDRelease Date: September 24Where to Buy: VansHarris Tweed and Vans extend their partnership into a three-model Vans Premium collection, applying the Scottish textile maker’s handwoven wool to the Old Skool 36, Classic Slip-On 98 and Loafer 53. The capsule builds on the Old Skool first previewed earlier this summer, where a blue-toned plaid upper with lilac, green and brown undertones was paired with deep navy overlays, a crystal-studded Sidestripe and jewelry-like spikes, stones and pins.Across the wider range, Harris Tweed’s coarse, dimensional texture is deliberately contrasted with Vans’ vulcanized construction and glossy sidewalls, while subtle greasing and distressed finishes give the shoes a lightly aged character rather than a pristine dress-shoe treatment.The Premium Classic Slip-On 98 places particular emphasis on the fabric, covering Vans’ laceless silhouette in a “Tweed Red/Blue” look. This iteration works through a warm, earthy check punctuated by cooler blue notes, with the irregular wool weave lending the surface a richer, almost archival appearance. Jewels, pins and studs interrupt the traditional textile with flashes of metallic shine, while contrast stitching and a lightly greased finish heighten its worn-in quality.The Premium Loafer 53 takes the concept in a more formal direction, translating Harris Tweed into Vans’ skate-informed penny-loafer shape. Rendered in a “Tweed Brown” palette, the silhouette emphasizes a muted, autumnal finish, with fuzzy woven wool and smoother leather elements set against a dark vulcanized sole for a mix of traditional tailoring and subcultural styling. Studs decorate the tongue, while removable metal charms, including safety-pin and jewel-like accents, introduce the same rebellious ornamentation seen elsewhere in the collection; subtle greasing again adds a gently weathered effect. The Loafer 53 is finished with a padded collar, gloss sidewall, waffle outsole and Sola Foam ADC insole.
