Synonymous with the fall and winter seasons, there’s no denying that UGGs have established themselves as the ultimate cold-weather shoe. This has allowed us to expect many designs geared around warmth and comfort. However, in its latest campaign, UGG wants to shift that perspective and establish itself as a technical and everyday footwear option that can fill many roles. Along with Los Angeles-based designer and artist Reese Cooper, the Santa Barbara-based brand has updated two of their famed styles to be more durable and technical. These boots are perfect for the upcoming festival season and aren’t just for keeping you warm. Cooper’s aesthetic touch gives the designs a more edgy, street-style look, ready for different terrains and environments. Far from the UGG boots you know and wear, these reimagined silhouettes are a one-of-a-kind grab.

With two new styles in the collection, Reese Cooper has meshed his utility-inspired design with UGG’s iconic silhouettes. Taking on the Classic Mini and Classic Ultra Mini, these new designs look and feel different from their originals. The Classic Mini boot has been updated with a CORDURA UltraLite water-resistant fabric to offer coverage and protection from the elements. An elastic toggle on the top half is included, allowing users to adjust the style for a better fit and look. This silhouette is available in three colorways: Peyote, Black/Black, and Mandarin Red.

Available in just two colorways, the Classic Ultra Mini offers users a chance for a slightly more subtle lower height. This design features a non-wick, waterproof textile with GORE-TEX lining. These new features exude a sleek, more tactical look that widely contrasts with its traditional design. Coming in Black and Kalamata, the Classic Ultra Mini best suits those wanting a more subdued appearance. Launching on April 11, the UGG Reese Cooper collaboration will be available via the Reese Cooper and UGG websites and select retailers.

Dime turned this adidas sneaker into a luxe punk shoe

adidas, Dime release new sneaker

maroon adidas gazelle

When it comes to elevating old classic designs, adidas is an expert at it. Over the past releases, we’ve seen how the brand has collaborated with other designers and brands to turn their iconic sneakers into sophisticated footwear. While their latest release has some edge, it’s an elevated look for one of their classic lifestyle shoes. Reuniting with their longtime collaborator, Dime, adidas is giving their Gazelle a revamp that combines a luxe material with some punk-inspired finishes. Far from the traditional look you’re accustomed to seeing from the Gazelle sneaker, this new iteration is an elevated design that adds some personality with a few subtle touches. While it seems as if adidas has focused on other sneakers like the Superstar and Samba when it comes to their collaborations, this Gazelle collaboration opens the door to future surprises.

Created in two colorways, the new collaborative adidas Gazelle sees the sneaker redesigned with premium leather and synthetic uppers in either maroon or black. Both iterations sit on black rubber outsoles for a sleek finish. The laces match the colorway for the ultimate elevated design for a monochromatic effect. To add a punk-inspired touch, adidas’ iconic Three Stripes branding is replaced with silver metal studs. Further details like Dime’s cursive name in chrome foil and embossed branding give the sneaker another stylish touch. Set to retail for $110, the adidas Gazelle ADV will be available via adidas’ website starting March 1. With smooth leather, metal accents, and shiny accents, this Gazelle is a sophisticated sneaker that doesn’t lose its personality.

INVINCIBLE x On’s latest partnership is perfectly deconstructed

While no stranger to collaborations, it’s not often that athletic company On revamps its iconic silhouettes. However, in their latest collaboration with Taiwanese streetwear label INVINCIBLE, the brand is giving one of their iconic shoes a new subtle upgrade. Adding some of INVINCIBLE’s street-style inspired touches, ON’s clean and minimalist silhouette has received some extra edge. While keeping some of the Swiss brand’s traditional aspects, this new collaborative design is a low-key mixture of both brands that appeals to all runners. With the style and ease that embodies On, this running shoe gives faithful fans an extra dose of flair.
INVINCIBLE x On Cloudmonster 2 “Deconstructed Perfection”

Using On’s Cloudmonster 2 as a base for the design, the new collaboration gets its inspiration from deconstruction. Using a multi-layer upper construction with subtle contrasts and textures, the shoe's design is still clean and simple with a slight touch of style. Touches of brown serve as pops of color throughout the shoe to offset the off-white color of the design. While the exterior saw subtle style upgrades, the technical and performance characteristics remain true to On’s brand. Using the brand’s biggest CloudTec midsole, this design contains the brand’s maximum amount of cushioning and energy return. A nylon-blend Speedboard helps aid in the design’s impact absorption and landing.
