The Minted New York x Saucony Endorphin Pro 5 arrives with speed at its core and chrome on the surface.
A high-performance silhouette sharpened through Minted’s design language, the shoe blends Saucony’s race-day engineering with a more polished, cultural edge. Chrome-painted midsoles, metallic silver laces and hits of Minted blue give the Endorphin Pro 5 a finish that feels fast before it even moves.
It doesn’t strip away the performance. It frames it.
Carbon-plated, lightweight and built for energy return, this collaboration sits between technical precision and quiet statement-making. A running shoe made for pace, but styled with control.
Launching May 19 via Minted New York, followed by a global Saucony release on May 21.
Stone Island returns to the Marina line for SS26, tightening its grip on function and form.
The new lookbook leans into nautical codes without feeling costume. Technical outerwear, washed treatments, and colour that feels pulled from open water rather than trend cycles. It’s engineered, but never overworked.
There’s a clarity to it. Pieces designed to move, react, and exist in real conditions, not just images.
Marina has always sat slightly to the side of the mainline. SS26 makes a case for why it should be looked at head on.
The Air Max Dolce gets reworked through a CDG Homme Plus lens, where restraint does the heavy lifting. Sleeker lines, darker palettes, less noise. The familiar silhouette is still there, but it’s been pulled into something more considered, more controlled.
It doesn’t try to reinvent the shoe. It tightens it.
A collaboration that leans on subtle shifts over loud statements, where the impact sits in what’s been refined rather than added.
Yesterday, Ye opened the BULLY era on his own terms.
Listening parties moved in sync across Seoul, LA, NYC, Istanbul, the Netherlands and more, all connected through a single YouTube livestream. Different rooms, same timestamp. A global moment that existed once, then passed.
The album still isn’t on streaming platforms. No replay, no official drop to sit with. If you were there or tapped into the stream, you caught it as it happened. If not, you’re piecing it together after the fact.
That feels deliberate. Ye isn’t rushing to hand the music over. He’s controlling how it’s experienced first, turning the rollout into something time-bound rather than always-on.
Not just a release. A moment you either caught or missed.

Off-White™ just opened its archive and handed the blueprint to ten different voices.
“10×10: Off-White™ Icons Reimagined” sees a cross-disciplinary lineup rework the brand’s most recognisable pieces, not as nostalgia, but as continuation. Each creative takes a category and bends it through their own lens, keeping the DNA intact while shifting the energy forward.
New York creative Ava Nirui rethinks the T-shirt as a shared language. Raul Lopez reshapes the Jitney bag through identity and movement. Veneda Carter pushes womenswear through the Meteor motif, while Scott Mescudi grounds sneakers in performance and lived experience.
Elsewhere, Stéphane Ashpool reworks varsity codes, Yuta Hosokawa deconstructs the hoodie, and Guillermo Andrade rebuilds denim with a focus on utility and memory.
Image-maker Renell Medrano approaches eyewear as framing, London-based Bafic develops graphic narratives through print, and A$AP Nast steps into object design, extending the idea of Off-White™ beyond clothing entirely.
It lands as both a reset and a reminder. The language Virgil Abloh built was never meant to stand still. This is what it looks like when legacy gets handed over, not preserved.

Lewis really just pulled up to a Japan car meet in an F40 like it’s calm.
No overthinking, no theatrics, just one of the most untouchable cars ever made, parked somewhere between tuned Skylines and late night conversations. That quiet confidence. That “I know exactly what this is” energy.
Some cars still carry weight. This is one of them.
