The UGG story began in the late 1970s, when Brian Smith — an accounting student living in Australia with a deep passion for surfing — had an idea to change his life and travel to Southern California. There, he found himself immersed in surf culture where individuality was valued over convention. One thing stood out: while surfers back home pulled on sheepskin boots after cold morning sessions, his new crew in SoCal didn’t. That gap in the market soon became Smith’s vision.After being rejected from local surf shops, Smith decided to sell his boots “pop-up” style at Malibu Point Beach. The shoe quickly became the next big thing, and within a decade, Hollywood and the fashion world took notice. Celebrities took UGG from the beach to the red carpet premieres, award shows and more. The style became a comfort essential and a style statement — the kind of product that could live in your everyday rotation, but could make waves in elevated spaces.UGG has evolved into a brand that sits at the intersection of sport, fashion and culture. Its partner roster spans renowned designers and creatives. Its collaborations extend from celebrated designers like Telfar and Feng Chen Wang to athletes and icons including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shareef O’Neal and Nigel Sylvester. Whether warming surfers after early morning sessions or making statements in NBA Tunnel fits, UGG continues to prove its ability to move seamlessly between worlds.As the brand approaches 50 years of shaping culture, UGG celebrates its diverse community while honoring its surfing roots through its recently launched AW25 Brand Heritage campaign titled Iconic From the First Step. It includes a video featuring founder Brian Smith discussing how UGG blends comfort and creativity with ease.What started as a boot for the beach is now a symbol of versatility and cultural relevance — worn by those who set the trends, break the rules and live life with the same fearless spirit Brian Smith brought to Malibu in the ’70s.Learn more about the AW25 campaign at ugg.com.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast

SummaryAn unreleased Air Jordan 15 sample, inspired by Billie Eilish’s debut album, has surfacedThe design uses a mustard yellow leather upper and contrasting blue accents, reflecting the album’s aestheticsThe shoe features Eilish’s hand-written album signature and was reportedly created as a special pair for her teamA new sample has surfaced, offering a glimpse at an unreleased Air Jordan 15 colorway inspired by Billie Eilish’s debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?. Although Eilish previously released a tonal beige AJ15, this new design directly channels the distinctive aesthetics and haunting mood of her 2019 Grammy-winning masterpiece.The original album was visually defined by Eilish’s iconic look: oversized fits and striking hair. This unreleased Air Jordan 15 sample adopts a dark, shadowy palette, reflecting the nightmarish undertones of the album’s sound. The AJ15 was already Eilish’s favorite Jordan silhouette — a shoe she chose because she loved things that people typically “hated” — and its unique, angular construction is the perfect canvas for the album’s disruptive energy.While the exact material breakdown of this sample is unconfirmed, the rumored design features unique graphic elements or color-blocking that directly reference the album’s eerie world-building. This unreleased piece saw the AJ15 in a mustard yellow leather upper with a contrasting woven texture featuring blue pull tabs, tongue and lining. On the lateral, Eilish’s hand-written signature of the album name is prominently placed. It is said that these samples were made just for her team.
