YEEZY has officially offered a detailed look at the upcoming YEEZY 800, marking the latest footwear creation from Ye. Official imagery of the new sneaker was uploaded on the YEEZY website following an initial preview shared directly by the artist-designer on Instagram.Debuting in an all-black “Stealth” colorway, the YEEZY 800 adopts a tactical, military-inspired aesthetic reminiscent of past brand offerings like the YEEZY 500 and YEEZY Desert Boot. The silhouette features a breathable mesh base layer overlaid with sharp, angular panels across the upper, remaining entirely devoid of external branding. Design observers on social media have also drawn structural comparisons to Hi-Tec’s Magnum Uniform Service Trainer.Alongside the core “Stealth” colorway, Ye teased additional conceptual mock-ups incorporating pastel shades of blue, green, and yellow, though official production for those iterations remains unconfirmed. The preview arrives alongside another upcoming footwear model, the YEEZY Alpha Boot (AB-01), as the brand continues its current retail reset.The YEEZY 800 is scheduled to release in December 2026 via yeezy.com for a to-be-announced retail price.

Supreme and Nike have officially revealed their upcoming Air Max 2001, now officially dubbed the Air Max Ecstasy, as part of the brand’s Fall/Winter 2026 preview. The collaboration revives the long-lost Alpha Project silhouette for its first-ever retro release.Continuing Supreme’s ongoing strategy of bringing obscure Nike archive models back into rotation, the sneaker arrives with a bold color scheme and altered structural accents. The upper is constructed in Supreme’s signature red hue mesh with a matte texture, contrasted by a bright yellow midsole and metallic silver Air bubbles underfoot.In place of the traditional straight horizontal lines on the upper, the shoe’s TPU cage elements are modified to spell out “Supreme” split between the lateral and medial sides. The updated design language bridges early-2000s performance running architecture with the New York streetwear label’s distinct branding cues.The Supreme x Nike Air Max 2001 Ecstasy will release exclusively via Supreme as part of the brand’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection.

SummaryVans canceled its Fugazi streetwear collaboration following backlash from fans of the anti-consumerist punk band of the same name.Despite the cancellation, the clothing label discreetly released the controversial shoes for $5 at its stores, drawing massive crowds.When Fugazi x Vans was first teased at Paris Fashion Week in June, it drummed up major excitement from the streetwear label’s dedicated fans. However, it wasn’t long until people began to draw comparisons between the brand name and the famous punk band Fugazi, ultimately leading to the partnership’s cancellation.The controversy peaked in July when the band’s drummer, Brendan Canty, publicly criticized the clothing brand as “horrendous” and called the collaboration “tone deaf”. In response to the uproar, Vans executive Steve Van Doren issued a public statement on July 2, 2026 as well: “Sorry for any confusion this past week. Fugazi, the band, and Fugazi, the clothing brand, are not connected. I have deep respect for Ian MacKaye, his impact on music, and his connection to Skateboarding. We spoke this morning and are looking at ways to support longtime skateboarders and give back to the communities we both care deeply about. The band’s fans found the collaboration particularly distasteful, given that Fugazi has intentionally backed away from merchandise because of its anti-consumerist principles. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FUGAZI® (@fugazi)As talks of the partnership’s cancellation spread, Fugazi took to Instagram to post a video statement on August 14, clarifying their identity and hinting at an imminent drop without naming Vans or showing the shoes. On the same day, Fugazi also shared what could only be understood as a discreet launch of the product. A video following a branded Fugazi van advertising $5 shoes was captioned with the simple instructions:”$5 Shoes. Cash only. No change”. The subsequent post concluded with further details for the release taking place at the brand’s NYC and LA stores.Following the weekend drop, pictures from the in-person release have landed, showing packed lines of dozens of customers holding up their cash and change in hopes of securing a pair of the highly-anticipated release. Notably, the shoes are completely blurred out in the photos shared by Fugazi, a subtle wink at the now-defunct campaign.
