Name: Nike Mind 001 “Purple Smoke”Colorway: Purple Smoke/Silver Lilac-Vast GreySKU: HQ4307-500MSRP: $95 USDRelease Date: Fall/Winter 2026Nike is rolling out the Mind 001 slip-on in a “Purple Smoke” colorway for Fall/Winter 2026. The pale off-white upper sets the tone, while smoky purple shades layered beneath give the low-profile silhouette its depth and its name.The upper keeps things quiet before the details take over. Small perforations run along the sides, joined by a larger perforated panel down the top of the foot, so the vented construction doubles as the shoe’s main visual texture. Metallic Swooshes are set into both zones, and the same muted purple continues onto the footbed, where Nike Mind and Mind Science Department branding sit inside.Underfoot is where the color concentrates. Rounded pods are spread across the outsole and seated within a cream-colored base, with several of them peeking out from the side for a glimpse of the tooling. The bottom carries Nike Mind branding at the toe and Mind Science Department branding near the heel, tying the slip-on into the rest of the Mind lineup.The result reads as a stripped-back take on the line’s pod-based platform, trading laces and structure for an easy step-in build while keeping the smoky purple palette as its throughline.

Name: Miu Miu x New Balance 530 SL “Deco Leather Ballerinas,” Miu Miu x New Balance 530 SL “Delave Suede Ballerinas”Colorway: White, CinnamonSKU: 5F846E_Z5O_F0401_F_005, 5F846E_3F33_F0009_F_005MSRP: $1,170 USDRelease Date: Available nowWhere to Buy: Miu MiuMiu Miu and New Balance have reshaped the 530 SL, the sneaker at the center of the two brands’ collaboration, into a ballet flat. The house frames the design as a meeting of the 530 SL’s athletic build and the softer lines of a ballerina, and releases it in two treatments: a “White” deco’ leather and a “Cinnamon” délavé suede.The construction is where the sneaker DNA survives the transfer. Rather than swap in a clean slipper, the flat keeps a laced upper up top, retaining the closure and profile of the running shoe it descends from. Underfoot sits a rubber sole carrying New Balance branding, and inside is a removable fabric-covered insole, a detail lifted straight from performance footwear. Miu Miu screen-prints logo hits in three places, on the upper, the heel collar and the insole, so the branding reads across the shoe without any hardware. Both pairs are built on a calfskin base, with the finish doing the differentiating: the “White” leans on deco’ leather that the house ties to a worn, vintage character, while the “Cinnamon” uses a washed délavé suede for a faded, tonal brown.The launch also slots into a lineage Miu Miu has been building for years. Under Miuccia Prada, the label has spent multiple seasons pushing the ballet flat back to the front of the fashion conversation, treating it as one of its defining silhouettes. The New Balance partnership, meanwhile, has run across several drops that filter the sportswear brand’s runners through Miu Miu’s codes. Turning the 530 SL into a flat folds those two threads together, taking the collaboration’s signature sneaker and rebuilding it in the shape the house is best known for reviving.
