Pharrell x Adidas Release the VIRGINIA Watermoc

September 01, 2026

VIRGINIA, Pharrell Williams’ creative platform, and adidas Originals launched the VIRGINIA Watermoc. First revealed earlier this summer during a beach takeover in Marseille, France, the Watermoc debuts in three colorways—blue, yellow, and black—all featuring the newest silhouette from the ongoing adidas Originals x Pharrell Williams VIRGINIA creative partnership.

Inspired by the early-2000s adidas Adventure Water Moc silhouette, the latest collaboration features neoprene U-throat construction, breathable mesh ventilation, reflective webbing, bungee speed lacing, and a durable rubber lug outsole engineered for enhanced traction, making it ideal for any destination the wind may take you.

The ongoing collaborations between VIRGINIA and adidas Originals represent more than clothing; they're a capsule of culture, music, creativity, and innovation.

SSENSE Got Steamy This Paris Fashion Week

October 09, 2026

On October 2nd, SSENSE celebrated a number of emerging designers at their Paris Fashion Week popup, Salon des Refusés. The name is a callback to the 1863 exhibition, where artists were rejected from the conservative jury of the official Paris Salon. Here, in 2026, SSENSE puts the designs of Kanika Agarwal, Laura Andraschko, MERRMA, Petra Fagerstrom, RESCHA, SECONDA, and Stephen Jones on a pedestal for one day only.

Usually functioning as an online platform, SSENSE brought the showroom to visitors to participate with the designs. Shifting from a purely digital experience, the visitors got to try on products right there while engaging with the designers themselves.

The pop-up was followed swiftly by a steamy afterparty, with a DJ set by Memphy, followed by a showcase by electronic duo Smerz. SSENSE has long been a platform for cultural discovery, and with Salon des Refusés, they bring the essence of the former outcast exhibition to a physical reality that brought together music, art, fashion, and community.

SATISFY and Oakley Are Back for Round Eight

October 09, 2026

SATISFY and Oakley are back with Chapter VIII of Equipment for Our World, bringing together futuristic eyewear, technical running gear, and a good amount of early-2000s energy.

At the center of the collection are two very different silhouettes. The Scar, originally introduced in 2001, makes a comeback in Falcon and X-Silver Metal, while the spiked Suture Jacket looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. Both come equipped with specially designed vented Prizm lenses, keeping things functional despite their otherworldly appearance.

The lineup also includes a perforated long-sleeve tee, a lightweight trail cap, and a silver-foil bandana. All designed with breathability in mind, whether you're actually hitting the trails or just dressing the part.

The collection drops October 13 at SATISFY and Oakley.
