Adidas by Raf Simons drops newest update to the iconic RS OZWEEGO silhouette.
This season it returns with soles coated in a mirrored TPU film, recalling the ‘70s glam rock era that was central to Raf Simon’s seasonal inspiration, with leather uppers offered in classic tones of black, white, gray, navy, red, and pink in contrast to the mirrored surface.
The RS OZWEEGO will be available from May 23rd.

The Lacoste X IUCN SOS partnership has launched its second awareness-raising campaign to highlight and support species conservation action worldwide.
Ten Lacoste stores across the Americas, Europe and Asia and online will put the spotlight on one specific threatened species, selling limited-edition polo shirts related to just that animal. The number of shirts for each species corresponds to the number of known individuals remaining in the wild.
Each individual species within the highlighted 10 gets its own polo shirt, and the amount of shirts made depend on how many of that specific species are known to remain in the wild. In total, 3,520 shirts were made.

Levi’s celebrates Pride 2019 with its sixth collection, this time partnering with OutRight Action International, which campaigns for LGBTQ rights globally. OutRight will receive 100% of the net profits from the collection.

This season, Alife, a long-term member of the adidas Consortium family returns to bring a new look to the classic adidas Nizza silhouette.
Originally released in 1975, the vulcanized canvas shoe is a lasting icon from a time when sporting footwear – and indeed often the sports themselves – were approached in more stripped back, ‘let’s get to it’ fashion. Today, the Nizza Hi is lauded for its minimalist, versatile aesthetic and Alife brings their own character to the shoe while maintaining the qualities that have made the shoe endure for so many years. While the brand’s oversized logo is applied as a pad print on the outside of each foot (as opposed to the traditional heel position), all other elements of the shoe – from the canvas uppers and rubber midsole to the heel tab and the laces – are rendered in monochrome, brilliant white. Minimal detailing such as the dates of Alife’s inception and current year on each of the toe-caps, branded laces and specially-created TPU wristbands make for an understated, easy to wear rendition of this style.
