Name: MM6 Maison Margiela x Salomon CROSS DUSTColorway: Black/Black, Vanilla Ice/EucalyptusSKU: L49186400, L49200600MSRP: $495 USDRelease Date: April 29, 2026Where to Buy: Salomon, MM6 Maison MargielaFor SS26, perennial collaborators MM6 Maison Margiela and Salomon have refreshed the XT-MM6 with new colorways and introduced the CROSS DUST, a new silhouette that combines their earlier gaitered models with a packaging-inspired twist.Following the baggier iterations of the MM6 Cross Low and High, the partners present a new take on Salomon’s trail-running Cross silhouette, featuring a technical gaiter inspired by Maison Margiela’s signature dust bags and neck tag graphics. MM6 and Salomon’s cobranded gaiter snugly encases the body of the shoe, hiding the bungee cord laces underneath for a streamlined look. The debut colorways take root in the monochromatic ethos of Maison Margiela, with a tonal white-beige and an all-black option. Whereas your average Salomon trail running sneaker is characterized by busier technical overlays, the gaiter encasing the uppers gives this model a minimalist facelift, versatile for both urban and outdoor environments.For the XT-MM6, new colorways include an ’80s-inspired lime yellow, along with a range of cool grays and muted yellow accents. An all-black colorway is also offered for both the XT-MM6, completing the range with a stealthy variant. Finally, the XT-15 Backpack returns with improved comfort and ergonomics, and a rain cover, ensuring cargo stays dry in various weather conditions.At $495 USD for the CROSS DUST and $480 USD for the XT-MM6, the MM6 × Salomon SS26 collection will be available on April 29, 2026, at MM6 and Salomon e-commerce platforms and shops, as well as select multibrand retailers.

Name: Travis Scott x Nike Phantom 6 Low EliteColorway: Multi-Color/Metallic GoldSKU: IV2037-900MSRP: $200 USDRelease Date: Summer 2026Where to Buy: NikeTravis Scott is officially trading the basketball court for the soccer pitch. As Nike gears up for its massive World Cup rollout, the brand has tapped the Houston superstar to put his highly coveted spin on a new soccer-inspired silhouette. Fresh in-hand photos have officially surfaced of the Travis Scott x Nike Phantom 6 Low Elite, revealing a rugged, indoor-ready design heavily infused with the signature Cactus Jack aesthetic.A striking departure from his usual retro runners and classic Air Jordan silhouettes, the Phantom 6 Low Elite features an aggressive, asymmetrical upper that blends bright green with dark brown tones. The shoe is loaded with contrast, utilizing bright yellow laces and a scale-like textured finish on the green heel panels. While traditional mini Swoosh logos appear on the forefoot and side panels, Scott’s iconic jeweled reverse Swoosh is cleverly tucked near the heel, adding a familiar touch without overpowering the technical design.Further cementing the collaboration, Cactus Jack branding is generously applied throughout the model. A custom crest is prominently stamped on the tongue, accompanied by script details across the lateral side.Designed for both indoor play and everyday lifestyle wear, this version ditches the standard cleated bottom for a much more street-friendly translucent gum sole. Equipped with a camo-like traction pattern, the sole is paired with a Cushlon-branded midsole to ensure all-day comfort off the pitch.With the hype surrounding both the World Cup and Travis Scott’s footwear releases, this soccer-meets-streetwear hybrid is expected to be a massive hit. The Travis Scott x Nike Phantom 6 Low Elite is slated to arrive in Summer 2026—with June currently rumored as the target launch window. The sneaker will retail for $200 USD and drop via Nike SNKRS and select global retailers.
