Melissa Flox M

November 03, 2020

Melissa, the Brazilian footwear and accessories brand from the Grendene group, launches a sandal made from 100% recycled material. With the brand already producing garments that are made with 30% recycled materials, this sandal made from 100% recycled material is a first for the company.

The Flox M Edition is constructed from shoes that were previously discarded by consumers. This new product also bolsters the three main pillars of sustainability within the brand: welcoming shoes, education on sustainability and diversity. In October of last year, more than 300 Melissa stores were stripped of their merchandise. This turn of events helped to create the “drop-off point” idea for customers, which helped them dispose of Melissa shoes that were unable to be used, reused, or exchanged.

This gender-neutral sandal is available in an exclusive colorway and has limited availability. They’re now available on shopmelissa.com.

Nike x Jacquemus

July 10, 2024

Simon Porte Jacquemus' third collection with Nike marks his directorial debut, unveiled with a campaign and short film titled J'aime Paris. The French designer, known for his cinematically staged runway shows, reimagines Nike through his unique lens, influenced by an adolescent obsession with Nike TV commercials.

The film, featuring Serena Williams, Central Cee, and Rina Sawayama, among other friends of the brand and Jacquemus himself, offers a scenic, minute-long tour of the city through his cheery eyes. Nodding to the Paris Olympics, the ready-to-wear collection includes reimagined tracksuits, T-shirts, statement bras, and long skirts in patriotic red, white, blue, and silver.

The Summer 2024 Nike x Jacquemus collection is available on jacquemus.com and Jacquemus retail. The collection will launch on Nike platforms on July 23.
