An Old-School Tailoring Pattern Is Taking Over Sneakers

An Old-School Tailoring Pattern Is Taking Over Sneakers

Published by Jenni Sidey

But the sneakerverse still wasn’t finished—a nicher brand wanted to get in on the action too. A day later, Merrell’s Moab 2 Slide popped up with a black, brown, and cream houndstooth upper made of Harris Tweed. Yes, it’s technically a mule (what isn’t these days?), but it has a chunky Vibram sole, it’s based on one of the company’s best-known hiking shoes, and it looks like a slipper built for crossing a small mountain. We’ll allow it. Three shoes in three days is no longer a coincidence. Houndstooth itself is one of the oldest patterns around. Originally known as shepherd’s check, it’s generally traced back to woolen outerwear worn in the Scottish Lowlands during the 19th century. Christian Dior helped drag it into high fashion in the late ’40s, and it’s spent the decades since disappearing and returning whenever designers remember how good it is. Merrell Moab 2 Slide ‘Houndstooth’ Merrell The last time houndstooth was this hyped was around 2016. Dolce & Gabbana sent raw-edged houndstooth tweed coats and suits down its fairytale-themed …

Nike, Poppi, and other brands are taking over RushTok

Nike, Poppi, and other brands are taking over RushTok

On Aug. 4, a Nike customization trailer pulled up outside Gamma Phi Beta at the University of Alabama. Inside were sneakers, fleeces, and other gear that members could personalize with sorority details. Outside, three videographers waited to capture the results. The event brought 150 women through the trailer, according to Campus Launch, the sorority-marketing agency that organized it. Soon, clips of members showing off their new Nike outfits began circulating online — including on my own For You Page. Nike’s Alabama activation is just one of many examples of how brands are capitalizing on RushTok, one of the best times of the year for TikTok. In 2026, bands are more deeply embedded in the Greek spectacle than ever. The arrangement is mutually beneficial: Brands gain visibility among young consumers and the chronically online, while members receive free products and experiences, and chapters get the status boost of landing a major corporate partner. SEE ALSO: TikTok shoppers spent $50 billion in six months on the platform At ‘Bama, that status can help a sorority compete for …

Up to 55% Off Nike, New Balance, Crocs and More

Getting ready to go back to school typically comes with a long list of things to buy, and shoes are one of the most important things to check off — they’re often the priciest item on that list, too. Growing feet, active school days, and a hundred activities in between mean a good pair (or two) is necessary — for both you and the kiddos. The good news: I found a bunch of popular styles from top brands like New Balance, Crocs, Nike, and more on sale for up to 55 percent off, so you can get picks that look good and hold up well without blowing your budget. The best back-to-school shoe deals The Crocs Baya Clog is a lightweight unisex clog made from the brand’s signature foam. It offers ventilated, quick-drying breathability, pivoting heel straps for a secure fit and a customizable design with Jibbitz charm holes. They’re great for wearing to class (we see you college students), heading to sports practice and every day errands. These cushioned, wide-based gym shoes were built …

This story is part of NBC Select’s New & Notable column, where we highlight our favorite product launches. We will continuously update this article throughout the month with new releases we think you should know about. Apparel and footwear launches The Ghost is one of Brooks’ most classic, basic sneakers, and numerous podiatrists we’ve talked to recommend them for running and walking. The brand made a few big updates to the newest model. It now has lightweight, nitrogen-infused foam; a redesigned breathable mesh upper that helps lock feet in place; and a soft, flexible tongue that makes it more comfortable as it rests on top of your feet. You can buy the sneakers in men’s and women’s sizes. The Moon Shoe was Nike’s first-ever running sneaker, and the brand just brought it back. It has a nylon upper, leather accents (including the Swoosh logo, of course) and a waffle sole, giving it the same ‘70s feel with minor modern updates. You can buy the Nike Moon Shoe OG in men’s and women’s sizes. Relaxed, comfortable, …

Get up to 54% off the Nike Pegasus 41, but hurry—once they’re gone, they’re gone!

One of the best walking shoes I tested last year was the Nike Pegasus 41. With the launch of the Pegasus 42 on April 9 rapidly approaching, the 41 is seeing reductions of up to 54%. There are great deals on both the men’s and women’s shoes on Amazon, but stock is low in most cases, so don’t be too disappointed if you miss your preferred colorway, or if your size is sold out by the time you get there. Nike is one of the oldest sports shoe brands out there, and its experience translates into impeccable design and comfort. With the 42nd generation of Pegasus about to come out, I’m excited to see how Nike will update its flagship range. There wasn’t a lot of difference between the 40 and 41 (I tested both), which is why I feel so comfortable suggesting you cash in on deals on the 41. If you don’t care about owning the latest release but want a high-quality pair of shoes for running and walking, the 41 is still …
