Name: New Balance “Night Lights Pack”MSRP: ¥15,400 – ¥24,200 JPY (approx. $98 – $153 USD)Release Date: Available NowWhere to Buy: New BalanceNew Balance’s “Night Lights Pack” introduces a dynamic four-piece collection available exclusively through the brand’s official channels. Inspired by the striking visual of city lights piercing through the dark, the overarching aesthetic of the capsule pairs understated grey and black bases with vibrant blue and neon yellow accents. This limited-edition release seamlessly bridges the gap between retro-futuristic lifestyle silhouettes and modern performance running technology, delivering a cohesive, luminescent narrative across four distinct models: the 9060R, ABZORB 2000, 740 and the FuelCell Rebel v5.Anchoring the lifestyle offerings, the 9060R arrives in a “Sea Salt with Fresh Air and Slate Grey” colorway, keeping things relatively light with a mostly grey suede and open saddle mesh upper that is elevated by an extended mudguard and debossed print details. Transitioning into a more covert aesthetic, the ABZORB 2000 embraces a stealthy profile clad in black mesh and blue synthetics, heavily highlighted by striking hits of neon glow that accentuate its aggressive, Y2K-inspired paneling. Rounding out the retro-runner trio is the 740, which stands as the darkest silhouette in the pack; it features a deeply structured black upper and grey mesh base sharply interrupted by subtle, glowing neon splashes that emphasize its technical overlays.The collection is completed by the performance-driven FuelCell Rebel v5, presented in a vibrant “Fresh Air with Zinc Blue” colorway that serves as a sleek contrast to its darker counterparts. Designed to look and feel fast, this everyday trainer features a streamlined, race-inspired engineered mesh upper bonded with ultra-light FantomFit technology for breathable support. The design is grounded by a bold midsole geometry utilizing an energetic PEBA and EVA FuelCell foam blend, while reflective accents strategically placed across the silhouette enhance nighttime visibility, perfectly capturing the pack’s radiant theme.

Name: Limited Edt x adidas Originals Superstar Consortium “Made in India”Colorway: TBCSKU: TBCMSRP: ₹11,999 INR/$179 SGD (approx. $125 USD – $140 USD)Release Date: August 8 (India), August 12 (Singapore)Where to Buy: Limited Edtadidas Originals and Limited Edt have unveiled the Superstar Consortium – “Made in India,” a heavily detailed reworking of the shell-toe icon limited to 350 individually numbered pairs worldwide. Released through adidas Originals’ Consortium programme, it counts among the first entries to put Indian design at the center of the platform.The design leans on a peacock motif, a nod to India’s national bird, that stretches across the upper, the insole and a translucent outsole. Layered over that are intricate vine patterns drawn from traditional textiles, festive embroidery and the ornamental detailing of centuries-old havelis. The Superstar’s signature shell toe stays intact, while the finishing hardware does the heavy lifting on luxury: gold lace locks, jewellery-inspired aglets and gold foil branding. Accents of red and blue round out the palette, colors the brand ties to prosperity, purity and celebration.The package around the shoe is where the collectible ambition shows. Every pair arrives in a custom matchbox-inspired box, a reference to the ceremonial lighting of the first flame ahead of an auspicious occasion. Inside, buyers get a custom shoe bag, motif socks, and an alternate set of red and blue laces to swap in against the standard white and black pair, presented in a jewellery pouch. An individually numbered flame charm completes the set and reinforces the one-of-350 positioning.The collaboration carries a clear cultural thesis, one the retailer’s founder makes explicit. “This collaboration is about more than a sneaker. It’s about showing that Indian culture has a place within global sneaker design. The Superstar is an icon, and this project gave us the opportunity to reinterpret it through an authentically Indian lens while celebrating the craft and culture that continue to inspire us,” said Mandeep Chopra, Founder of Limited Edt, in the release.Billed as the first India-origin sneaker collaboration to launch across Limited Edt’s India and Singapore markets, the Superstar arrives in a unisex run spanning UK 3 to 13. With only 350 pairs in circulation and two staggered launch dates, this is one to move quickly on.
