Top 10 Footwear Collabs That Walked The SS26 Runway
1 P. Andrade x PUMA
P. Andrade makes a double debut this fashion week with their first Paris runway show and Puma’s new Cell Geo 1 silhouette. Andrade is the first Brazilian designer to be featured on the official calendar, and this collaboration helps cement this moment. The sneaker arrives in a grayscale palette of charcoal, off-white, and soft cream, crafted from a mix of suede and leather with the Puma logo stitched in. Most striking is the 3D heel sole—an open, blade-like structure engineered for cushioning but styled like futuristic scaffolding. Together, it seamlessly ties together Andrade’s collection’s blend of ancestrality and sci-fi futurism.
2 _J.L-A.L_ x PUMA
Following the same Cell Geo 1 blueprint, Puma teamed up next with _J.L-A.L_ for something smarter and more sculptural. The brand dresses the sneaker in oiled patent leather that mimics aged sofas—tones shift and reveal with wear. It comes in two colorways: the CELL Umbre in a burnished brown and CELL Midnight in an inky black. Tied to their SS26 concept of clothing as spatial frameworks, the shoes reflect the lived-in luxury of vintage furniture.
3 Kiko Kostadinov x ASICS
Kiko Kostadinov takes hybridity to new heights in his latest Asics drop. Previewed last season in women’s slip-on form, models strutted down the runway in technical tabi runners paired with skate tongues and a gradient finish that blends several sport influences into one silhouette. Finished with a retro ASICS logo from the 1960s, the sneakers come in four colorways, including a range of electric green-blues and one sleek all-black option.
4 Wales Bonner x Y3 Adidas Originals
In an explosive crossover between Adidas’s two most influential collaborators, Wales Bonner makes her Y-3 debut with six distinct silhouettes. The lineup fuses Bonner’s sleek archival instincts with Y-3’s technical edge: glossy bowling-style leather sneakers, reworked adidas Gazelles and Country models, and the new Karintha, a sandal-inspired trainer with a loose woven upper. A premium snakeskin revival of the F50 soccer boot rounds out the collection, cementing Bonner’s ongoing role in reshaping the modern minimalist sneaker.
5 Issey Miyake x ASICS
This isn’t your typical collab, but a design-led project coined Issey Miyake Foot that merges Miyake’s experimental eye with ASICS tech. The laceless sneaker features taped details that mimic athletic bandaging and the ASICS logo, wrapping the foot with both structure and a sci-fi flair. Shiny synthetic leather, soft matte overlays, and technical mesh combine for a retro-futurist finish. Available in three colorways– tennis ball neon green with blue and orange accents, tonal grey, and all-black— it marks a promising first step into footwear for IM Men.
6 AURALEE x New Balance
For its official runway launch, New Balance’s streamlined 204L gets the AURALEE treatment— toned-down, tactile, and quietly elevated. Shedding the usual “dad shoe” bulk, the silhouette is offered in light grey with pastel yellow accents and in deep navy suede with cream soles and collars. Buttery palettes meet technical function in a collaboration that feels easy and precise.
7 Willy Chavarria x Adidas
Willy Chavarria’s third Adidas collab goes maximal with a lineup of sculptural, street-ready sneakers. The Megaride AG and AG XL arrive with wild, muscle-like midsoles in bubblegum pink, blue, black, and cream. There’s also a metallic basketball shoe interpretation with exaggerated, swollen soles that feel straight out of a sci-fi gym.
8 Jah Jah x Adidas
It seems like the Adidas Megarides are quickly becoming a go-to canvas for experimentation. For its first official show, the Paris-based Afro-vegan collective delivered the Megaride S2 in a bold Ethiopian-inspired gradient, layering red, yellow, and green beneath a black grid. Rooted in Rastafarian and Pan-African identity, the shoe extends the brand’s mission beyond food and culture into fashion with powerful clarity.
9 AWGE X PUMA
A$AP Rocky’s AWGE twists the classic Speedcat into something raw and unruly for SS26. Distressed red high-tops come with oversized tongues, scuffed soles, and patching, while low-top versions in all-red and black-and-white feature a wraparound lace. PUMA’s motorsport heritage reworks with AWGE’s signature mix of attitude, irony, and streetwear.
10 Junya Watanabe Man x New Balance / Camperlab
Junya Watanabe slips in two sneaker collabs this season, each pushing form and function in its own direction. The New Balance pair (based on the WRPD Runner) gets a sleeker, more refined update with curved lines, spliced leather and mesh, and a printed “N” logo. A thick double-layer FuelCell sole exaggerates the bulbous silhouette, making it aerodynamic and sculptural all at once. Meanwhile, the Camperlab Tossu made a stealthy entrance. With a lava-volcanic silhouette, TPU shell, and waterproof 3D-knit lining, it gave off the energy of a Timberland x WRPD hybrid blasted into the future.
