In Los Angeles, basketball is woven into the fabric of everyday life. It echoes through playgrounds pressed up against freeways and situated between neighborhoods, inspires generations of artists and designers, and serves as a cultural thread connecting sport, fashion, and community. The game’s influence stretches far beyond the final buzzer, ringing out beyond the bleachers and shaping the creative identity of a city where self-expression and innovation are constantly evolving. Few symbols embo

All good things must come to an end, even PUMA's collaboration with running brand SAYSKY, sadly. Although the collab may be clocking out, the brands recognize that true runners never do. The final collection speaks directly to that mindset. Titled "Back to Business," PUMA and SAYSKY deliver high-tech running gear with office-approved swagger. Specifically, SAYSKY gets its own PUMA Deviate NITRO™ Elite 4 and MagMax NITRO™ 2 shoes, with each model getting two colorways. So, that&apo

Matthew 6:13 reads: “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” It seems Supreme skipped that first part, because its Fall/Winter 2026 collection is wall-to-wall temptation. That’s not altogether unexpected, given the streetwear giant’s ongoing resurgence. Its great Spring/Summer 2026 collection — the coffin! The revived 97-era Arabic logo tee! The MM6 zip-up box logo hoodie! — proved that Supreme had finally shaken out of its early 2020s slump, but FW26 goes one step further.Su

There's a certain level of assumed sophistication that comes with any Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance click up.Having long since conquered the world of lifestyle sneakers, though, ALD is ready to flex its endurance muscles with its carbon-plated Rebel V5 sneaker that is quite literally built to go the distance.As it stands, ALD has all but mastered the art of classic, prep-school steez. Add in New Balance's established dad shoe pedigree, and you get refined sneakers that are categorical

As Sergio Lozano’s iconic Air Max 95 continues its 30th-anniversary victory lap, Nike shows no signs of slowing down its rollout of true-to-spec Big Bubble retros. Scheduled to land in Fall 2026, the Nike Air Force Max 95 Big Bubble Photon Dust/Sweet Beet blends archival anatomy with a striking, berry-infused palette.Originally designed with larger, four-window visible Air units in 1995 that were later downsized for mass production due to durability concerns, the re-engineered Big Bubble specs r

Long before the German Army Trainer became a runway fixture for luxury houses like Maison Margiela, it was an unbranded piece of cold-war military equipment. Originally commissioned in the 1970s for West German soldiers training indoors, the silhouette was mass-produced by adidas. Decades later, as army surplus stock flooded European markets, the GAT’s minimal, unbranded leather upper and T-toe suede overlay evolved into one of the most celebrated, versatile templates in footwear history. Honori

Salomon recently released an "Alpines Echoes" collection featuring dressed-up trail models and arguably the best-looking Marie Jeanne to date.The Marie Jeanne, essentially Salomon's own Mary Jane sneaker, features an upper made of creamy leather upper and sturdy technical mesh. It's all dressed in this nice earthy brown and silver hardware.It's essentially still the same trail-worthy Mary Jane sneaker at heart (straps and chunky grippy soles included). But it's very

adidas' most minimalist sneaker has unleashed the beast. Release the croc Stan Smiths!The brand has done a few croc Superstars here recently, including a super-luxurious collaboration with Wales Bonner. But croc Stans? It's been a while.The German sportswear brand makes the most of this rare moment, dressing the classic court shoe in leather uppers with a crocodile skin finish. It also features buttery leather heel tabs, the signature Three Stripe perforations, and a golden nameplate o

Nike ACG's Zegama Trail sneaker is so good, it makes even "Linen" work on the trails.Of course, I'm talking about Nike's famous colorway and not the summer-approved fabric. However, it would be pretty cool to see the trail runner pull off a crisp suit.The Zegama Trail doesn't go full "Linen" like Nike's iconic leather Air Force 1s or those Kith Air Max 95s. It incorporates the classic light-tan portion, yes, but it's paired with outdoorsy oranges

Describing a sack dress as “almost like a big bedsheet with a couple of scrunchies on the end” would almost always qualify as a drag. But what if the piece came from the COMME des GARÇONS Spring/Summer 1984 “Round Rubber” collection? Well, then it’s a high compliment, coming from COMME fan and director of the Kerry Taylor fashion auction house, Alex Baddeley.That’s because the Japanese fashion brand that Rei Kawakubo founded in 1981 isn’t like most others; it leans into oddness and celebrates th

If you polled a thousand locals on the official uniform of New York City, two non-negotiable items would top every single list: a box-fresh pair of Wheat Timberland 6-Inch boots and a New Era fitted cap. The Timberland x New Era Yankees & Mets 6-Inch Waterproof Boots sees the two join forces to deliver what might genuinely be the most quintessentially New York collaboration in history.The collab combines the unrivaled subcultural legacy of classic Construction Timbs with New Era’s heritage a

Nike SB's navy React Leo sneaker looks very good — almost too good to scuff up at the skate parks. But hey, that's the point of the model.Leo Baker's signature shoe is already quite luxe. Then Nike threw in this tonal navy colorway, which really elevated the model to high-fashion levels. It all works out in the end, too.The React Leo's luxe Blazer-coded design actually comes in handy at the skate park, believe it or not. It features leather and suede uppers plus satin touches

Earthy, rich brown hues have taken over as the default shade across apparel and footwear this season. It’s a trend that’s been not just brewing, but peaking for several seasons now but if this year is anything to go by, there’s more in store. Perfectly tapping into that, the Three Stripes reinforces its skateboarding lineage with the arrival of the adidas Originals Samba ADV Dark Brown/Core Black/GumReplacing harsh blacks and clinical whites with warm espresso and chocolate tones gives low-profi

After months of waiting for summer to arrive, it’s somehow August already. The bright evenings are still hanging around, the sun’s still putting in the work, but we all know what comes next. Before long, September will be knocking, bringing with it the start of a brand-new semester. And as exciting as a fresh start is come fall, it can also add a sense of dread to an already hectic time. What is your wardrobe going to say about you? Don’t fret, we at Highsnob know that a great wardrobe isn’t bui

You really can't go wrong with a little bit of chocolate. Drizzle it over a rugged Air Force 1 SB, and you get a surprisingly sweet shredder that almost looks too sweet to skate in. Almost.As it stands, Nike's Air Force 1 is already an all-purpose sneaker that has lasted through multiple decades of sneaker trends. Through all of the fads that have come and gone, and the many footwear eras we'd like to forget, Nike's AF1 has maintained its status as one of the most iconic snea

Not even Bottega Veneta is bigger than the mule-fication program. The powers that be have been taking the heels off shoes left and right, proving that less, very often, is more. You really can't go wrong with a good pair of clogs, and you really, really can't go wrong with a luxed-up Intrecciato weave slip-on that can be put on without too much fuss, which is the dictionary definition of quiet luxury, if you didn't know.Bottega Veneta's Intrecciato Leather Clog Mule is the pe

Just when you thought New Balance’s weird moccasin runner couldn’t get any bolder, images emerge of said weird moccasin’s boldest colorway yet. Slated to land in September 2026, the New Balance U1890A Grey/Beige takes a silhouette that was already inherently experimental and goes all out.When the U1890A debuted, it understandably turned heads. What felt like it could only be an experimental sample ended up finding its way to mainline production. Now, New Balance doubles down on that out-there ae

Think of Brooks Brothers, and you’re likely to think crisp button-up shirts worn by Old Money, East Coast elites. There’s truth to that: it's America’s oldest apparel brand, is most famous for selling incredibly WASPy shirts and slacks. But what might the label look like if it loosened its collar? The answer lies in an incredibly suave pre-fall capsule created for the Japanese branch of Los Angeles retailer Ron Herman. Nothing epitomizes this attitude more than the new Brooks Brothers tote,

Aya Brown had us in the first half with her original Air Max 95, a very good-looking "Friends & Family" pair that only a handful of people would get to experience. But it turns out, there's another collaborative sneaker by the artist and Telfar collaborator. And this one's for everyone.The second Air Max 95 sneaker comes dressed in lime green suede and black leather layers, plus an embroidered red Swoosh and remixed Air Max tag that now reads "A Brown." For Aya

Nike's next Dunk Low may be small, but it is mighty cool.The newest sneakers are colorful and textured to the max. The uppers are covered in leather and suede, with fuzzy Swooshes. And it's all dressed in this multicolored scheme that includes "Midnight Navy" and "Speed Red."Another neat thing about these Dunks — besides the fact they're bursting with color and stylish textures — is that they're also mismatched. One pair has a red toe box and red logos, wh
