SUMMARYSperry and Mifland have teamed up for their first-ever footwear collaboration.The collection reworks the 3-Eye Mini Lug and Billfish through Mifland’s distinctive approach to leather and color.Both pairs are built to age gracefully, developing a unique patina through wear.Boat shoes have been back for some time now, but Sperry and Mifland aren’t interested in nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake.For their first collaboration together, the two American brands have reimagined a pair of Sperry staples through the lens of Mifland founder Tobi Egberongbe’s obsession with leather craftsmanship, bold color and objects that get better with age. The result is a two-shoe capsule that feels rooted in Americana without getting stuck in it.Leading the release is the Sperry x Mifland 3-Eye Mini Lug, a rugged take on the classic boat shoe built from vegetable-tanned vachetta leather. Handsewn and finished with a chunky double welt construction, the silhouette pulls inspiration from Mifland’s signature painted leather goods while maintaining the DNA of Sperry’s original design. Like a well-loved leather bag or wallet, the shoe is designed to darken and develop its own character over time. Inside, Mifland’s “Million M” graphic appears on the sockliner as a subtle nod to the brand’s visual language.The second half of the collaboration arrives in the form of the Billfish, marking the first time Sperry’s athletic boat shoe has been used for a collaborative project. Here, Mifland leans fully into its playful side, outfitting each shoe with mismatched suede paneling and contrasting colors across the left and right foot. Debossed “Million M” branding and a toggle-lace system complete the updated silhouette.The collection releases June 11 through both Mifland’s and Sperry’s webstores.

Name: Dylan Harper x TITAN x Nike Air Zoom G.T. Cut EP “Daybreak”Colorway: Bleached Aqua/Cashmere/Sport Gold/Chile Red/Metallic Silver/Glacier BlueSKU: IU0779-400MSRP: $200 USDRelease Date: June 17Where to Buy: TITANNike, TITAN, and San Antonio Spurs rising star Dylan Harper have unveiled “Daybreak,” the first colorway in the Nike Air Zoom GT Cut EP “DUSK 2 DAWN” series, releasing June 17. The light blue upper and soft gradients on the Swoosh draw directly from a sunrise over Bataan, the Philippine province that is the hometown of Harper’s mother, making the colorway a tribute to both his Filipino heritage and the values she instilled in him.The colorway’s design brief is specific and personal. Bataan is not a generic cultural reference but a precise geographic anchor — Harper’s mother’s hometown — and the decision to build the “Daybreak” colorway around its morning light connects the shoe to a particular place and a particular influence rather than to Filipino heritage in the abstract. The light blue upper carries the calm of that sunrise, while the soft gradients on the Swoosh introduce a warmth that shifts the palette without disrupting its serenity. The GT Cut EP’s performance-first construction holds the colorway’s narrative without competing with it: the shoe is built for the court, and the color is built for the story behind the player on it.That story is the “DUSK 2 DAWN” narrative’s organizing principle. For Harper, basketball is a 24-hour pursuit, and the three-colorway series maps his journey from top prospect to professional pillar across the arc from dusk to dawn. “Daybreak” opens that arc at the moment of transition — the hours before the world sees the result of the work that has already been done. The values the colorway honors — humility, resilience, and an unrelenting drive to rise — are framed explicitly as a Filipino inheritance, passed from mother to son and from the province of Bataan to the San Antonio Spurs.The collaboration launches alongside the TITAN Daybreak Tournament, giving the shoe a live basketball context at its moment of release. TITAN, the Manila-based basketball collective founded in 2010, has spent more than a decade building itself into the cultural authority on hoops and sneaker culture in the Philippines, and its Nike collaborations have consistently used that platform to tell stories rooted in the archipelago’s relationship with the game. Dylan Harper’s Filipino heritage makes him a natural subject for that storytelling — a player whose roots connect directly to the community TITAN was built to serve, now competing at the highest level of professional basketball.
