From Samuel L. Jackson to Eminem - Kangol is perhaps the most notable headwear brand in the world.
Founded in the 1920s by World War I veteran Jacques Spreiregen, Kangol produced hats for workers, golfers, and especially soldiers. During and after the war, Kangol berets were the height of fashion.
In the 1960s, designers Mary Quant and Pierre Cardin worked with the company, whose products graced the heads of the rich and famous, including the Beatles and Arnold Palmer, and later Diana, Princess of Wales.
In the 1980s Kangol berets entered a new phase of fashion history with their adoption by members of the hip-hopcommunity, such as Grandmaster Flash, Run-DMC, LL Cool J, Slick Rick, Kangol Kid of UTFO, and The Notorious B.I.G.

The North Face presents the second drop of its latest Black Series collaboration: the Kazuki collection.
Created in collaboration with Japanese designer/graphic artist Kazuki Kuraishi, part two of this highly anticipated collection is focused on his interpretation of TNF Urban Exploration’s “Seamless” theme. “In my mind, ‘Seamless’ means that you can wear it to work, and also on the weekend,” Kazuki explains, “so there aren’t really any boundaries. I perceive ‘Seamless’ as clothes you can simply wear, no matter the occasion or place or mood.”
Attuned to TNF Urban Exploration’s vision to balance utility with fashion — where high-quality outdoor-inspired silhouettes are translated for the urban setting — Kazuki has created a unique modern-street look that combines premium materials and innovative details with his distinctive Japanese-minimalist styling. Known for creating a very wearable style elevated by technical/utility elements and decorative finishes, Kazuki says “function came first before design” in this collection.
Famed as an exceptional “functional streetwear” designer, Kazuki’s career began as an intern for NIGO at the iconic Japanese brand, A Bathing Ape; and flourished under the mentorship of Hiroshi Fujiwara of fragment design. Today, he’s evolved his own signature style that combines a clean “lifestyle aesthetic” with an “easy to wear” approach — yet, always with technical acumen.

Introducing Never Made, a revolutionary footwear concept inspired by the past, designed for the future. Past icons from the adidas archive are reimagined, as their soles are swapped with the brand’s most innovative toolings. Featuring eight distinct silhouettes, the newest adidas Originals footwear concept provides a window into the brand’s design process. Inspired by internal design workshops, which see the brand’s designers explore unexpected combinations, the collection is a manifestation of ideas into reality.
Tapping into three key decades of adidas archival design - the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s – the Never Made collection explores the intersection of past and future, reinventing iconic silhouettes through the lens of the brand’s most innovative products.
Instantly recognizable 70’s aesthetics are reimagined through the Line of Descent series, which sees the COUNTRYxKAMANDA merges aggressive all-terrain-inspired detailing from two eras.
Looking to one of the brand’s modern day icons, the genealogy of NMD series revisits three key sources of inspiration from the 80’s, placing the silhouettes atop NMD_R1 tooling to create the MICROPACERxR1.
Turning to one of the most important decades in adidas Original’s recent history, the genetically Modified 90’s Tech series sees two iconic footwear concepts, Feet You Wear and EQT, brought firmly into the future - reimagined atop BOOST tooling to create the ZX930xEQT.

During the 90s visible running technology boom, sports brand PUMA innovated to create PUMA CELL Technology, one of the most durable and resilient cushioning technologies of the day. Twenty years later, we celebrate by reissuing a classic from the PUMA Archive: the CELL Endura.
In 1998, PUMA introduced the first iteration of CELL Technology for stable cushioning. Stability came from blow-molded polyurethane elastomer (TPU) that was configured in a pattern of hexagonal cells. Combinations of these cells allowed us to engineer cushioning and solve for a variety of running needs.
The CELL Endura was PUMA’s pinnacle model in the CELL range. With the times going full circle and the 90s being back in fashion again, the OG has returned in its best form yet on the eve of the PUMA CELL’s 20th anniversary.
With distinctive eyelets, a chunky silhouette, and its green CELL Technology, the CELL Endura has stayed true to its OG glory, updated purely with new materials and new production techniques. It maintains the running tech detailing of the original model along with the rubber toe cap plus a unique eyelet stay for the laces. The sneaker’s last was referenced from the PUMA Archive and reworked to create a sleeker toe shape. The original CELL Endura was hand-stitched but this version has evolved with the times and features digital stitching. A breathable mesh upper with suede overlays and PU coated leather overlays cover the upper which sits atop an EVA midsole and rubber outsole.

"YOUTH AGAINST ESTABLISHEMENT"
Noon Goons is the Californian -born and bred- label quietly taking over the ruling class, will it be in fashion or world order.
Genuine to its skate and surf roots (a noon goon is a group of tourists that shows up and crowds a beach at noon, when the real surfers have already gone about their day), the LA label also heavily displays its punk attitude, allowing it to seep into the designs, and serving as ultimate moral compass not to wander away from authenticity.
