Havaianas’ new Tradi Zori silhouette takes inspiration from the traditional Japanese Zori sandal, fusing its oversized, rectangular form with a cushioned flip flop-like footbed. The team-up with mastermind JAPAN marks the model’s debut and sees the Japanese brand print their signature skull and crossbones motif on the footbed, alongside co-branded logos.
TweetAn accurate retro of the ‘80s OG, the adidas Frankfurt returns this season, retaining its rich blue suede and Velcro fastening. Part of the famous City Series, it shares much of the casual-favoured DNA with other prominent models of the era.

The capsule comes with a total of four T-shirts, colored in blue, brown, white and black, each nodding to signature motifs and album artwork from the band. One of the band’s most recognizable graphics is a print of a white laundry machine — album artwork of Washing Machine (1995). Popping out from a bright blue background, the image is thinly etched with black outlines with “Sonic Youth” stamped at the center of the print. Another T-shirt sports a print of the band’s album cover Goo from 1990. It features a hand-drawn illustration that was originally based on a newspaper photograph of Maureen Hindley and David Smith, key witnesses in the 1966 Moors Murders trial.

South2 West8 and Japanese outdoor-focused publication GO OUT have dropped three camo printed parkas: leopard, “trout” and duck.

As its name suggest’s the next pattern is made up of a series of highly detailed trout illustrations that have been colored in muddy earth tones. The final pattern boasts tones of light mustard yellow, olive and forest green, rendered in a sporadic array of rounded shapes.
