SummaryReleasing September 10, the Celine/Reebok Freestyle Lo reimagines the 1982 classic with smooth lambskin and prominent co-branding.Michael Rider’s design drops in multiple colorways via Celine’s website and select stores, featuring exclusive shades in NY and Tokyo.Following a teaser of the collaboration at Michael Rider’s Celine SS27 Men’s debut in June, the Parisian label has officially unveiled the Celine/Reebok Freestyle Lo. The retro silhouette is reintroduced in monochromatic yet wide-ranging colorways, emphasizing the maison’s elevated treatment of the uppers.Born in 1982, the original Freestyle Lo has the classic look of an everyday lifestyle sneaker, adorned with the recognizable Reebok overlays on the lateral sides. For Rider’s reimagination of the sneaker, the overlays are forgone to draw more attention to its smooth lambskin uppers. The updated silhouette will arrive in a range of versatile colorways including Optic White, Black, Butter, Beige, Peanut, Dark Brown, Oxblood, and Fluo Red.With the simple, smooth shape of the toe box, the collaborative sneaker has a similar sensibility to Celine’s slim-soled Jazz Shoes, with a more sportswear-leaning sole. However, the sneaker is generously co-branded. Most noticeably, the classic Reebok wordmark on the tongue is reimagined as a Celine insignia, and the backsides feature Reebok and Celine icons above the heel. For an added designer touch, each pair comes with a limited-edition leather tab with the collaborators’ logos on alternating sides.The Celine/Reebok Freestyle Lo drops on celine.com and at select Celine stores on September 10. Exclusive colors will be released at Celine Wooster Street, NY, and Omotesando, Tokyo. 

Name: ROA x fragment design Andreas BootSKU: TBCRelease Date: TBCFirst-look images of ROA and fragment design’s collaborative Andreas boot have surfaced. Arriving as a rugged reinterpretation of ROA’s technical outdoor silhouette through Hiroshi Fujiwara’s minimalist lens, the boots feature a leather upper with a heel counter that’s partially composed of suede. Serving as a reunion following their 2017 three-way project with 1017 ALYX 9SM, this newly revealed silhouette appears to be equipped with added protection and longevity; a robust black rubber reinforcement wraps around the toe box, cementing the shoe’s outdoor roots while maintaining a sleek, stealthy profile.Breaking up the monochromatic upper, the boot incorporates metallic lace hooks that introduce a slight industrial edge to the traditional hiking lacing system. Underfoot, the silhouette is anchored by a heavy-duty Vibram outsole – identifiable by its iconic yellow logo – chosen specifically for its superior durability and all-terrain grip. Branding is handled with a balanced contrast: ROA’s signature triangular logo sits prominently on the tongue and toe, while fragment design’s presence is characteristically understated. Fujiwara’s influence is quietly signaled by a debossed FRGMT thunderbolt motif stamped at the heel, perfectly complemented by a striking splash of the label’s iconic blue running along the sole. Official release dates and pricing for this highly anticipated collaboration remain unannounced.

Name: POST ARCHIVE FACTION Petal TrainersColorway: Black, Brown, White, Malva GreySKU: TBCMSRP: ¥89,040 JPY (approx. $570 USD)Release Date: September 9Where to Buy: POST ARCHIVE FACTIONPOST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF) has unveiled the Petal Trainers, the first sneaker in the brand’s history and its debut step into the lifestyle footwear category. First shown during the label’s Fall/Winter 2026 presentation at Paris Fashion Week, the shoe translates PAF’s structural design language into a form the brand has not attempted before.The upper is the shoe’s defining element. Built from Italian cow leather, it is cut through with laser-etched slits modeled on flower petals, a detail that gives the design its name and its face. Those cuts are the physical expression of PAF’s “Organic Artifact” approach, the brand’s method of reinterpreting forms found in nature into the shape of a product. Rather than sitting on the leather as ornament, the petal cutouts are treated as a working canvas.That distinction matters because the cutouts drive how the shoe is worn. The Petal Trainers pair the slit upper with a set of voluminous laces that can be threaded through different openings, so the lacing becomes a styling variable rather than a fixed path. The result is a single silhouette that can be rearranged into multiple looks depending on how the wearer routes the laces through the petals.Underfoot, the shoe uses a Vibram MC2 Road Running Sole, a component chosen to give the leather upper genuine walking credentials. The sole is positioned for durability and stability across varied city terrain, extending the brand’s stated pursuit of fluidity into the shoe’s function as well as its form. The Petal Trainers arrive in four colorways, Black, Brown, White and Malva Grey, spanning a range from clean neutrals to a soft muted lilac.
