Name: Vibram FiveFingers V-Soul Foot MapColorway: “Powder Blue,” “Deep Blue”SKU: TBCMSRP: $140 USDRelease Date: Available NowWhere to Buy: VibramVibram has introduced the latest evolution of its minimalist footwear line with the FiveFingers V‑Soul Foot Map – a women’s model designed for lightweight training, studio workouts and barefoot‑style movement. The silhouette incorporates Vibram’s signature minimalist sole and a breathable upper engineered to contour to the foot for a glove‑like fit. As with other FiveFingers models, the outsole emphasizes grip and durability while preserving the barefoot feel that defines the line.The release arrives in two colorways, “Powder Blue” and “Deep Blue,” each offering a soft, understated palette that complements the shoe’s streamlined silhouette. “Powder Blue” features a sole in its namesake shade paired with an off‑white upper and bold red accents. The “Deep Blue” version highlights a lavender‑blue sole that subtly bleeds into its dusty pink upper, finished with vivid scarlet detailing along the bottom of the sole.Inspired by the natural dispersion of energy across the foot, the Foot Map sole pattern acts as a visual representation of motion, reminding the wearer that every force released into the ground returns in equal measure. Each “island” on the outsole reflects the inner energy expressed through the foot’s pressure points. Built with a glossy polyester upper, a 3 mm Vibram XS Trek outsole, and an adjustable hook‑and‑loop closure, the V‑Soul Foot Map encourages mindful movement — treating training not only as performance, but as a ritual of release and balance.

SummaryNearly five years after announcing their partnership, Fear of God and adidas are wrapping it upJerry Lorenzo stated in a new interview that their partnership is ending this month and the two have agreed not to renew itIt’s been nearly five years since Jerry Lorenzo’s team at Fear of God announced his partnership with adidas, shaking up the industry with a move that paired the two heavyweights together. However, it wasn’t until 2023, in the wake of Fear of God’s first runway show, that any products became available.Now, a new Complex interview featuring Lorenzo reveals that the partnership is ending this year. When asked about the state of his relationship with adidas, Lorenzo shared, “As of today, I am still under contract with adidas… Our partnership ends at the end of December, and we’ve agreed not to renew it.”The news is surprising, but not shocking. While we’ve seen the two brands introduce many footwear silhouettes over the past few years, none have grabbed sneakerheads like the Nike Air Fear of God 1 did back in 2018. Perhaps the partnership’s biggest impact has been with adidas Basketball, which suddenly transitioned its perspective in 2022 with new apparel and sneakers that were immediately compared to Lorenzo’s design language.Where would you like to see Lorenzo take Fear of God next?

Name: .SWOOSH x Nike ReactX Rejuven8 Slide “Touch Grass” PackColorways: Kelly Green/Vibrant Yellow/Mosswood Brown and Wheat/Sail/Gum Dark BrownSKUs: IO9763-300 and IR0860-700MSRP: $75 USD to $85 USDRelease Date: December 19Where to Buy: NikeIt’s been a few years since Nike introduced its .SWOOSH platform, and it’s quickly become one of the brand’s most exciting lines. Introduced initially as a Web3-based platform and evolving to be a gaming-inspired division for the brand, .SWOOSH was responsible for not only retro gaming-inspired Air Max 1s this year, but whimsical concepts like the “Dirty Triple White” AF1 that gets “cleaner” with wear. Now, after dropping its hit Yu-Gi-Oh! collection featuring the Air Max 95, the team has cooked up one more campaign to close out its breakout year.We reported on a possible PlayStation x Nike collaboration earlier this week when a vague teaser was posted by the .SWOOSH platform. In reality, .SWOOSH has cooked up a ReactX Rejuven8 Slide “Touch Grass” pack. Playing on the internet slang that tells someone to log off and go outside, two grass-themed colorways have been created. The first features a “Kelly Green” shaggy exterior, with a hand motif at the footbed and “FOR INDOOR USE ONLY” text at the outsole. Meanwhile, the second pair features dead grass in brown printed atop the slide, combining with the aforementioned hand detail and special packaging to complete the capsule.The .SWOOSH team has officially teased the ReactX Rejuven8 Slide “Touch Grass” pack via the Instagram post embedded below. However, we remain without a confirmed drop date. Current speculation points to a December 19 launch via Nike SNKRS at a price range of $75 USD to $85 USD. Stay tuned for updates as we await an announcement from the brand. View this post on Instagram A post shared by .SWOOSH (@dotswoosh)
