Name: INVINCIBLE x ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 “404 RGB”Colorway: TBCSKU: TBCMSRP: $6,580 NYD (approx. $214 USD)Release Date: October 17Where to Buy: INVINCIBLE and ASICSMarking the culmination of their 10th-anniversary partnership, the INVINCIBLE x ASICS GEL-NIMBUS™ 10.1 “404 RGB” arrives as a commemorative sequel to the earlier HTTP 404 Pack. While the initial release focused on a digital-age glitch aesthetic, the “404 RGB” reinterprets the concept through a tribute to the past, with the “G” in the name reimagined as “Grey” — a direct nod to the original GEL-LYTE III colorway from a decade ago. This latest project continues to explore the “beauty of imperfection” and the concept of deconstruction, applying an asymmetrical design where the right and left shoes are deliberately crafted using contrasting materials across the upper panels.This intentional mismatch is the signature feature of the new GEL-NIMBUS 10.1. The left shoe distinguishes itself with the use of long-haired suede at the toe and heel, while the right shoe is constructed entirely in smooth leather, creating a dynamic visual contrast between the pair. The asymmetric detailing is further emphasized by mismatched red and blue tongue labels that echo the contrasting heel accents. These elements, combined with a spiral logo rendered on semi-translucent ripstop and elongated Tiger Stripes featuring raw, loose threads, are executed in varying shades of grey, resulting in a layered and sophisticated aesthetic for the season. The shoe reinterprets the GEL-LYTE III’s heritage through the modern NIMBUS 10.1 silhouette, offering a seamless blend of nostalgia and contemporary style.The sneaker will be available via a global online raffle from INVINCIBLE’s webstore on October 17, followed by in‑store availability in Asia on October 18. A wider global rollout at selected ASICS retailers will also begin on October 19.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by INVINCIBLE (@invincible_inc)  Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast

SummaryThe Clarks Originals x Carnan collaboration is Clarks’ first Latin American partnership, validating Brazil’s creative relevance in the international fashion scene.The collection reinterprets two iconic models, the Wallabee and the Desert Trek, in suede, featuring a unique design detail: hand-stitching that traces the map of Brazil onto the shoes.The project celebrates the fusion between global tradition and Brazilian identity, using music as the central creative thread, and the pieces serve as “symbols of identity and belonging.”In a landmark moment for Brazilian fashion’s visibility on the global stage, British footwear brand Clarks Origianls has announced its first-ever Latin American collaboration, joining forces with Rio de Janeiro-based streetwear brand Carnan. The partnership is designed to establish a vibrant cultural dialogue, seamlessly blending Clarks’ deep-rooted heritage with the contemporary spirit and unique cultural mix of Brazil. This collaboration is an endeavor to transform tradition into movement and design into a powerful narrative, representing a crucial step that validates the region’s creative relevance within the international fashion ecosystem.The essence of this cultural fusion is physically materialized in the reinterpretation of two of Clarks’ most iconic models: the Wallabee and the Desert Trek. Both shoes are rendered in premium suede with natural rubber crepe soles and are distinguished by a profound design detail: hand stitching that traces the contours of the Brazilian map onto the leather patches. Paulo Carneiro, creative director and co-founder of Carnan, emphasized this blend of place and product, stating, “The literal stitching of the map of Brazil on the shoes makes this fusion between memory, territory, and design visible.” For Carneiro, reinterpreting these global icons by incorporating cutouts inspired by Brazil’s silhouette transforms them into “symbols of identity and belonging,” bridging global tradition with local creativity.The campaign supporting the collaboration is driven by music as its central creative pulse, acknowledging the role Clarks classics have played across global music subcultures, from hip-hop and reggae to Britpop. Carnan’s head of branding & marketing, Breno Fernandes, explained the concept: “Just as Wallabees walked alongside hip-hop in the United States, reggae in Jamaica, and Britpop in the UK, the Clarks x Carnan campaign seeks to translate the spirit of Brazilian music, from samba to Carioca hip-hop into every detail.” The shoes are now available from R$ 2,399 (approximately $440 USD) in limited quantities via Carnan’s website.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
