ALDO has always kept up with the times. With 53 years in the industry and over 1,500 global stores, the Canadian heritage brand has held its rightful claim as a must-go destination for footwear aficionados looking to stay on top of the latest trends. Most recently, ALDO tapped New York Knicks’ Jordan Clarkson to curate a selection of footwear and accessories capturing his uninhibited spirit. References to cowboy core see the brand continuing to draw inspiration from pop culture and spotlighting fashion’s revived love for a classic silhouette: the loafer. ALDO’s campaign imagery spotlights 2021 NBA 6th Man of The Year’s subversive fashion identity and the style savant’s knack for putting together refined, edgy ensembles seamlessly blending high and low fashion items. View this post on InstagramA post shared by HYPEBEAST Kicks (@hypebeastkicks) Tunnel walk-approved and stylish enough to take you from the office to drinks, the ALDO Collection curated by Jordan Clarkson brings high-fashion appeal to the brand’s signature footwear line. The partnership celebrates a new era in fashion, where authenticity and individuality are prioritized through unbridled expression. For a touch of western mischief, the cowboy-inspired boot “Guthrie” arrives in a tonal cowhide makeup and an all-black construction, designed with intricate embroidery on the back shaft and a chunky Cuban heel. For loafers, there’s the spike-adorned “Zollo,” which features silver-toned hardware along the topline and tongue to visually contrast its glossy, black exterior. The retro “Buckley” loafer showcases a ’50s-style white overlay at the tongue and toecap to offset an all-black construction. A sophisticated lace-up shoe, “Rocco” offers a pop of drama to any ensemble with a textural checkerboard pattern embellishing the toecap.The utility-forward, lace-up “Doublezero” boots in black and khaki suede feature a sturdy rubber sole with ample grip to transition into the colder months of the year. For office-bound professionals, two messenger bags in black leather (“Bruguu”) and brown suede (“Hildebradd”) offer ample compartment storage and an elegant, streamlined silhouette for effortless transport throughout the day. In ALDO’s accompanying campaign, Jordan Clarkson dons the footwear options with various all-denim outfits, tailored suits and smart business casual ensembles to reflect his eye-catching sensibilities. With a touch of rebellion and a pinch of urban street style, Clarkson showcases the line’s aesthetic versatility through a modern lens.

Last night marked a monumental moment for KNWLS. The London-based brand made its Milan Fashion Week debut, unveiling its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Synergy, at the Camera della Moda.The collection also introduced an exclusive collaboration with Nike – a capsule of technical apparel and footwear that merges Nike’s technology with KNWLS’ signature design codes.KNWLS’ signature aesthetic is elevated through Nike’s advanced fabrics, while heritage Nike silhouettes are reimagined through a KNWLS lens. The result is a capsule that almost feels pulled from a warped intersection of both brands – in the best way possible – creating a bold new design language fit for the gym, a club, or anywhere in between.Corsetry remains key to KNWLS, and in this collaboration, a corseted jacket appears in a weatherproof, lightweight fabric woven with reflective threading. The brand’s Razr bag is also reimagined in rugged nylon and leather, finished with a rubber base inspired by Nike’s waffle outsole.But the standout of the collection is the footwear. Nike’s classic Air Max Muse has been “KNWLS-ified” with twisted, corset-like laces and a sharper, more angular silhouette. Drawing inspiration from both ballet pointe shoes and vintage football trainers, it introduces a completely new aesthetic. The shoe debuts in an iridescent green colorway, as well as full black and a pink with red and white accents option — a breath of fresh air for both brands.The collection also marks KNWLS’ third collaboration with TENCEL™ as a materials partner. The cellulose fiber is used for jersey button-down dresses and leggings, each elevated through KNWLS’ signature ruched draping.Scroll up to see exclusive runway detail shots of the KNWLS x Nike collection.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
