Name: Disney x Crocs Jessie Boot, Disney x Crocs Classic Clog Toy Story AlienColorway: Multi, MultiSKU: 213009-90H, 213010-90HMSRP: $130 USD, $70 USDRelease Date: June 16Where to Buy: CrocsDisney and Pixar are teaming up with Crocs to celebrate the premiere of Toy Story 5. Executing a two-piece drop centered around the beloved franchise, this release bypasses standard colorway updates to focus on structural modifications, delivering character-specific molded elements directly onto the brand’s foundational foam silhouettes.Taking a departure from the traditional slip-on design, the “Jessie Boot” utilizes a taller, structural shaft crafted from the brand’s core water-resistant foam. The boot’s physical architecture is visually anchored by a molded cow-print pattern on the lower half, contrasted against a bright red upper section that directly references the character’s recognizable western wear. Functional pull tabs at the collar and a rugged tread pattern on the outsole complete the utilitarian construction, while dedicated ports across the vamp allow for the integration of accompanying thematic Jibbitz charms.The Classic Clog “Alien” returns to the core mechanics of the standard Crocs model but heavily augments the upper with distinct, character-driven modifications. A bright green foam base serves as the primary structural layer, paired with a specialized pivoting heel strap designed for secure, everyday wear. The standout technical feature lies in the custom Jibbitz charm integration, which includes molded eyes, planetary insignias, and Pizza Planet-themed accessories that interact directly with the shoe’s ventilated forefoot ports to complete the extraterrestrial aesthetic.

Name: Vans Premium Authentic 44 Denim PackColorway: Denim Black, Denim IndigoSKU: VN000DB8BLA, VN000DB8INDMSRP: ¥12,650 JPY (approx. $80 USD)Release Date: May 1Where to Buy: BILLY’SVans is expanding its elevated Premium line with a textured take on the Authentic 44, better known to historians as the original Style 44. This latest release focuses on high-tier material construction and technical comfort, reimagining the 1966 classic through a contemporary lens.The technical highlight of this release is the comprehensive textile execution. Eschewing traditional canvas, these models utilize a synthetic denim fiber that has undergone a rigorous aging process. This treatment results in a nuanced fade and specific distressing around the eyelets to simulate years of natural wear. Notably, the denim construction is not limited to the upper; the material is also wrapped around the rubber sidewalls and bumpers, creating a cohesive, textured aesthetic across both the “Denim Black” and “Denim Indigo” colorways.Beneath the vintage exterior, the footwear features modern ergonomic upgrades. The shoe is equipped with the SOLA FOAM ADC insole, a high-rebound cushioning system designed for long-term fatigue reduction. In a move toward more sustainable manufacturing, the foam is composed of 30% bio-based materials. The silhouette is finished with the brand’s signature high-friction rubber outsole, preserving the durable grip pattern that established the Style 44 as a staple in 1970s skate culture.

Name: BEAMS x Paraboot CorsicaColorway: BlackSKU: 11320875099MSRP: ￥62,700 JPY (approx. $390 USD)Release Date: Available nowWhere to Buy: BEAMSBEAMS and Paraboot have joined forces to deliver an exclusive iteration of the classic Corsica. Serving as a hybrid silhouette, the collaborative model successfully merges the laid-back profile of a deck shoe with the refined structure of a traditional coin loafer.Crafted in Spain, the upper takes on a bold, asymmetric “crazy pattern” design that BEAMS is renowned for bringing to its collaborative projects. The shoe meticulously incorporates three distinct textures of premium cow leather across its paneling: a pebbled grain finish, a glossy smooth leather, and a soft, textural suede. This deliberate material clash adds an elevated, tactile edge to the upper while ensuring the foundational leather remains supple enough for immediate comfort.Down below, the traditional slim sole commonly associated with the model is swapped out for a robust rubber lug sole. This intentional design choice injects a sense of utilitarian volume to the sleek loafer profile, offering improved stability and a contemporary stance that pairs effortlessly with relaxed fits and wider trousers. Highlighting its versatility, the reimagined footwear arrives in two distinct, classic colorways—an understated all-black rendition and a rich, earthy brown option.
