adidas Originals Presents the Next Chapter of the Superstar
Few trainers have earned true icon status like the Adidas Superstar. Born on the basketball court, adopted by streetwear pioneers and redefined by every generation since, the Superstar returns for Spring 2026 sharper, bolder and as culturally relevant as ever.
Fronted by Samuel L. Jackson, the new campaign sees the legendary actor searching for his “Superstars” inside the surreal Hotel Superstar, a space where time doesn’t exist. Along the way, he encounters a heavyweight line-up of modern icons including JENNIE, Kendall Jenner, Lamine Yamal, Baby Keem, James Harden, Tyshawn Jones and Olivia Dean, each defining culture on their own terms.
The message is simple: Superstars don’t follow time, they outlast it.
For Spring 2026, adidas Originals keeps the DNA intact while refining the look. Classic black-and-white is energised with bold red accents, looser-fit tracksuits, strong 3-Stripes branding and a renewed focus on denim. The women’s range reworks the Superstar Tracktop in everything from sleek faux leather to crochet, blurring sport and street with effortless confidence.
We’re featuring the campaign imagery here, for the full cinematic experience, head over to adidas Originals to watch the official campaign film.
Reebok x Karol G
Out now, Reebok elevates its core lifestyle offering with the launch of Reebok Classics featuring premium Garment Leather, marking a new chapter for some of the brand’s most recognisable silhouettes.
The update centres on the use of 100% real, full-grain garment leather across heritage models including the Club C 85 Vintage, Freestyle Lo and Workout Plus. Each retains its original design DNA while benefiting from upgraded material execution aimed at everyday wear.
The Club C 85 Vintage (from £90) stays true to its 80s court roots, pairing a clean tennis-inspired upper with lightweight EVA cushioning. The women’s Freestyle Lo (from £80) revisits the archive aerobic silhouette in a slimmed-down, low-profile form, complete with its signature twin cupsole construction. Meanwhile, the Workout Plus (from £100) returns with its defining H-strap panel, twin cupsole and exposed EVA midsole, now finished in full-grain garment leather.
The global ‘Born Classic. Worn For Life.’ campaign stars Karol G, positioning the Classics line as a cultural staple that bridges sport heritage and contemporary styling.
Reebok Classics featuring Garment Leather are available now via Reebok.eu and select retailers worldwide, with further colourways and iterations expected in the seasons ahead.
Sex pistols
To mark 50 years of “Anarchy in the U.K.”, Admiral Sports teams up with the Sex Pistols on a limited-edition football shirt celebrating one of the most disruptive moments in British music and style. Released in 1976, the Pistols’ debut single didn’t just kick-start punk, it rewired the relationship between music, fashion, football, and rebellion.
Fronted by former England international and self-confessed punk devotee Stuart Pearce, the campaign leans hard into the crossover between terrace culture and punk attitude. Pearce, who famously introduced the band onstage in 1996 between England’s Euro ’96 fixtures, embodies the raw, no-nonsense energy the collaboration channels.
The shirt itself draws from 1970s punk aesthetics and classic Admiral football design, nodding to a time when Sex Pistols adverts appeared in football programmes across the UK, taking punk straight to the terraces. Campaign visuals echo those original programme ads, reimagined for a modern audience.
The Admiral x Sex Pistols Football Shirt is out now and available at admiralsports.com and the official Sex Pistols store.

Weekend Offender
WEEKEND OFFENDER LAUNCHES SPRING/SUMMER 2026 COLLECTION
Lightweight layers, relaxed silhouettes, and functional design rooted in British subculture.
Weekend Offender unveils its Spring/Summer 2026 collection — a season defined by ease, wearability, and purposeful design. Built around new silhouettes and functional fabrics chosen for how they perform and wear, not how they sell, the collection reflects a lighter, more relaxed approach to modern menswear.
As the palette shifts into spring, softer tones and considered contrasts come to the forefront. Colours feel lived-in from the very first wear, drawing inspiration from nature with stone, green, and muted earth tones layered into clean cuts and trademark Weekend Offender finishing touches.
Lightweight Layering
The transition into spring introduces a strong focus on lightweight jackets, over-shirts, and over-tops designed for layering. Fabrics range from water-repellent technical materials for unexpected downpours to soft woven cottons that balance warmth with utilitarian style. Each piece has been handpicked for comfort, durability, and versatility.
Graphic tees are updated this season with a more relaxed, oversized fit and are constructed from a premium 200gsm cotton jersey — striking the perfect balance between quality weight and breathable feel. All graphics are designed in-house in the UK and continue to draw from British subcultures, referencing football rituals, backstage passes, and cult cinema.
Signature House Check
The iconic Weekend Offender house check returns for SS26 with refreshed styles and fabrics, including the new Tiaret Cotton Over-Top. Used both as an all-over statement print and as a subtle accent across classic silhouettes, the check remains a familiar and recognisable sight on the terraces.
The Spring/Summer 2026 collection is available online now.

GH BASS x Pop Trading Company
G.H.BASS teams up with Amsterdam’s Pop Trading Company to give the classic Easy Weejuns® loafer a skate-informed update. The collaboration is out now, blending G.H.BASS’s heritage craftsmanship with Pop’s street-ready, detail-focused approach.
The penny loafer is reworked in smooth, hand-polished leather and finished with Pop’s custom metallic “POP snaKle” hardware in silver and gold tones , a subtle nod to the brand’s skate roots and remix mentality. Each pair is crafted using G.H.BASS’s signature hand-sewn moccasin construction, delivering a lightweight feel, padded footbed, and a water-resistant rubber outsole designed for grip and durability.
Available in black and rich chocolate leather, the release is supported by a campaign film directed by Dan Henshaw, starring Nick Jensen with a special appearance by Tim Burgess. Shot in London and soundtracked by The Charlatans’ “Viva La Sociale”, the film highlights the shared cultural ground between skate culture, music, and timeless design.
