As a huge Mizuno fan, I’m so excited about their new ‘Infinity’ campaign! It’s a really cool visual look at the history of their iconic Infinity Wave technology, and we get our first peek at the upcoming Wave Prophecy ‘Burning Dust’ Pack. What I love is that Mizuno isn’t just showing off the tech as something that helps you perform better, but as a design that people connect with – something instantly recognizable that brings different groups together. The photos are amazing, mixing sleek, polished looks with a more raw, energetic vibe. It really captures the feeling of energy, movement, and freedom that the Infinity series is all about.

Studio Ghibli’s brand, GBL, has partnered with Donguri Republic to release a limited collection of three Porco Rosso T-shirts. Each shirt features a different iconic scene from the movie, and they’re made using a variety of printing and design techniques – including rubber ink, embroidery, chain stitching, and even canvas patches.

Nike has introduced a fresh, more artistic take on the Air Max Goadome Low sneaker. This version, called “Polka Dot/Black,” offers a lighter, playful look compared to the shoe’s typically rugged style. The leather upper features fun, polka-dot inspired cutouts. In this almost all-black design, these openings reveal matching layers underneath, creating an interesting visual effect and a uniquely textured appearance on the sides, front, and back of the shoe.

Literary Sport’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection features activewear that’s perfect for colder temperatures. The line includes items like nylon running jackets, warm Pertex barn coats and fleeces, and uses a color palette of deep blues and classic tartan patterns.

Levi’s and Urban Research are releasing a limited-edition denim collection on August 7th. The collection includes four styles – 555, 565, 578, and Extra Baggy – which will be available exclusively at Mainline, Doors, and iD stores. Prices range from $61 to $95, and you can pre-order the items online now.

Okay, so New Balance just dropped a new version of their 1890A sneaker, and it’s called ‘Dark Night’! Honestly, I’m really digging the look – it takes that classic running shoe shape and makes it feel way more modern and almost…dressy? It has this cool apron design on the front and a unique curved section up front. The colorway is amazing too; it’s all deep purples and blues, giving off a seriously sleek vibe. They’ve used breathable mesh for comfort, with these really smooth synthetic layers over top that add some texture. You can lace them up to get the perfect fit, and they even included little reflective details and a subtle New Balance logo on the side. It’s just a super clean, stylish shoe that I could see wearing with pretty much anything.
