Air Max Phenomena by Nike hits $500 resale pre-release
The online frenzy surrounding a Nike Inc. sneaker loafer that has yet to be officially launched has pushed resale prices past $500. The Air Max Phenomena is joining the so-called 'snoafer' trend that took off last year, according to sneaker website Hypebeast. The shoes, which combine a loafer upper with a sneaker sole, were initially dismissed but have since gained popularity with New Balance, Puma and Hoka for mixing comfort with a professional aesthetic. Shoppers want to see 'fun, wacky, whimsical designs,' said Drew Haines, senior marketplace director at StockX, the resale site where Nike's snoafer is listed. They 'don't want to see footwear brands playing it safe anymore.' For Nike, any buzz is welcome at this point. The world's largest sneaker maker, which reports earnings on Thursday, has been struggling, with sales and its stock sinking over the last year. Some critics say the company's innovation has fallen off, with it focusing too much on a handful of old styles. Nike declined to comment. In the sneaker market, brands often supply photos and samples to influencers and websites to boost interest. Buzz about the Air Max Phenomena started about a week ago with images posted on social media, including from Japanese sneaker retailer Atmos, which said on its Instagram account that the shoe is being released on June 27. Hypebeast then quickly weighed in, reporting that the Serena Williams Design Crew led the shoe's creation. That group, a collaboration between Nike, Williams and young designers, has released collections under the Nike banner.

Wales Bonner SS26 Celebrates 10th Anniversary With 'Superfine' Sentiments
AsGrace Wales Bonnermarks 10 years in business, the British designer presented her SS26 collection, 'Jewel,' within the historic walls of an 18th-century Parisian library. The simple title is meant to evoke the objects we treasure — timeworn garments, family heirlooms, inherited jewelry, or perhaps, your most prized possessions. Executed with restraint and beauty, her latest work draws on both her modern multiculturalism and the opulent British sartorial tradition of the 20th century. The resulting collection aligns with the well-fitting theme of the2025 Met Gala, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' which the designer explored as an official host committee member. Echoes of her Met carpet designs forLewis Hamilton,FKA Twigs, and others are present with recurring details like tipped berets, jeweled brooches, and scalloped embellishments evocative of the Art Deco style. Despite the elegant touches of evening wear inspiration, these looks are less likely to be seen on the Met steps, appearing with an ease and naturalism suited for everyday wear. Jermyn Street-style shirting is worn open-chested or with a popped collar; various tops are layered under jackets with their sleeves pulled up. Elsewhere, patchwork denim and tracksuit bottoms ground more sartorial sensibilities in the present day, and dress shorts sit high above the knee. Standing out as one of the most formal looks is a collaboration with Savile Row tailors Anderson & Sheppard, manifesting in a cream-colored wool and silk tailcoat worn with high-waisted evening trousers. However, Wales Bonner offers balance to these elevated moments through a new collaboration withadidasandYohji Yamamoto'sY-3, including a souvenir jacket, technical trousers, and a new iteration of the Y-3 field shoe. See the gallery above for a full look at the collection, and stay tuned to Hypebeast for the latest fashion insights.
