SummaryKader Sylla’s first signature adidas shoe, the $110 “Kader,” blends ’90s basketball style with durable skate performance.The versatile suede sneaker launches today in two colorways, kicking off the North American leg of his global tour.Professional skater Kader Sylla has teamed up with adidas Skateboarding to introduce his first-ever signature sneaker: The Kader. Arriving today in two colorways, the Kader is both an ode to adidas archives and a non-traditional development of adidas’ signature details.“I wanted to make something that felt like me and that I’d actually want to wear every day,” Kader shared in an official statement. “We looked at a lot of different references and kept pushing until it felt right. It’s built for skating, but it doesn’t feel limited to the skatepark. I’m excited for people to experience it and take it wherever they go,” he added.Drawing core inspiration from ’90s adidas Equipment basketball silhouettes, the mid-top model is engineered for versatility from the streets to the skatepark. In brown suede with yellow snake stripes and black suede with purple speckled stripes, the Kader reinterprets the iconic Three Stripes by integrating them directly into the lacing system, blending branding with functional details. Built for heavy impact, the sneaker features a durable cupsole, a full-length Lightmotion midsole, Adituff underlays, and a premium suede upper.To celebrate the launch, Kader is taking his kicks on the road for a massive global World Tour. The North American leg kicks off tomorrow, October 1, bringing demos and skateshop appearances to local communities from Minneapolis to Los Angeles.Kader Sylla’s adidas Skateboarding signature shoe is available now for $110 USD at adidas.

MM6 Maison Margiela previewed its first collaboration with Havaianas at its Spring/Summer 2027 runway presentation in Milan, applying its signature fixation with the number six to the Brazilian brand’s instantly recognizable rubber flip-flop.The collaboration takes shape through two uniquely modified designs: the Slim 6Toe and the Top 6Layers. The Top 6Layers, pushes the idea into more sculptural territory by stacking six differently shaped Havaianas soles into an intentionally irregular platform. Runway imagery shows a white strap and uppermost footbed sitting over a vivid sequence of multicolored rubber layers, with flashes of red, green, blue and violet creating a striped, almost compressed-rainbow effect beneath the foot. Despite its exaggerated height, each layer preserves the molded texture and recognizable outline of a conventional Havaianas sole, turning repetition itself into the design feature.Meanwhile, the Slim 6Toe alters the classic rubber model to echo the anatomical outline of a bare foot, deliberately punching an extra toe slot into the silhouette to accommodate a literal sixth toe. The Top 6Layers was created exclusively for the runway and will not be offered commercially, while the broader MM6 Maison Margiela x Havaianas collaboration is scheduled to launch in May 2027.

Name: Birkenstock x Cole Bennett Boston Wooly Moon BuckleColorway: WhiteSKU: TBCMSRP: TBCRelease Date: October 1Where to Buy: Cole Bennett, 1774Reconnecting a relationship that spans nearly a decade, Birkenstock has teamed up with filmmaker and creative director Cole Bennett to reimagine the iconic Boston clog. Launching in celebration of the silhouette’s 50th anniversary, the collaboration honors the original 1976 design while injecting Bennett’s personal narrative and cultural influence.The collaboration reworks the clog in a single off-white colorway built around an intentionally tactile wool-felt upper. The material varies in length, density and tone across the shoe, creating an irregular, shaggy surface that gives the familiar semi-closed silhouette a softer and more sculptural appearance. Bennett encourages wearers to trim the wool themselves and allow the pale finish to pick up dirt and wear over time, turning the otherwise neutral color into a surface intended to develop individual character.Inside, a soft microfiber lining ensures everyday comfort. Anchoring the design’s themes of imagination and permanence is a custom crescent “Moon Buckle,” cast in a striking antique dark copper finish. This bespoke hardware not only serves as a symbolic constant against the evolving wool exterior, but also playfully pays homage to Bennett’s own dog, culminating in a fresh, texture-heavy interpretation of the enduring classic. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cole Bennett (@colebennett)
