The SpongeBob x adidas Stan Smith Freizeit shoe looks like a patent-black dress shoe that happens to be a Stan Smith. The upper is fully formed from shiny leather with perforated adidas stripes, contrasting white laces, and a slightly chunky lug sole that gives the silhouette a quiet upgrade.
The patent-leather finish gives the shoe a formal sharpness, which makes this one of the most considered cartoon collabs in existence.

Ron Norsworthy: American Dream, exhibition examines the delicate balance between aspiration and reality inside Black middle-class domestic spaces. Norsworthy’s new body of work continues his exploration of interior worlds shaped not only by personal history but by the cultural narratives that have long framed the idea of success in America. Through layered photographic constructions, he invites viewers to enter rooms where elegance and uncertainty coexist.
The exhibition features ten sculptural reliefs composed from photographs meticulously built into multi-inch structures. Their exposed plywood edges serve as reminders of the manual labor behind both the physical works and the broader social climb they symbolically echo. Alongside them, Norsworthy introduces three Layer Maps, works on paper that distill the spatial logic of the reliefs into precise, flattened compositions. These pieces offer insight into the architecture of his thinking and the visual rhythms that guide his constructions.

Erik Madigan Heck is one of the most sought-after photographers working today, attracting collaborations and commissions from fashion and cultural icons such as Comme des Garçons, Gucci, Nike, and The Metropolitan Opera. He is praised for his talent to use color as a poetic medium, transforming each image into a vivid narrative that speaks to the emotional resonance of photography. The Tapestry marks a creative evolution in Heck’s artistic journey. This body of work infuses his love of painting and textile arts into his fashion sensibility. Inspired by the ambient light of Edgar Degas, patterned interiors of Edouard Vuillard and Gustav Klimt, and rich textures of antique tapestries, this series is a romantic exploration of color and form.
