Dec. 8, 2022: Famed sneaker designer Frank Cooke has teamed up with Saucony on a limited-edition Jazz 81, which will be sold exclusively via APB. According to a statement from APB, the project was initiated to expand collaboration and design opportunities by Saucony’s “Concrete Flower” team, which is an employee resource group committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. The collaboration, the statement said, was inspired by Cooke’s childhood and his history with the silhouette, which was “a shoe of choice due its affordability and accessibility.” The Frank Cooke x Saucony Jazz 81 — which is limited to 750 pairs — is executed with premium suede details with hits of pink and violet on a black base. Also, it includes personal nods to the importance of the silhouette, such as a handwritten note on the insole that APB said is attributed to “7th Grade Cooker” asking his parents for the shoe. In addition to the sneakers, there will be a limited apparel capsule with T-shirts and hoodies. The Saucony x Frank Cooke Jazz 81 launches Dec. 9 via APB both online at APBstore.com and in APB locations (Tallahassee, Fla.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Greenville, S.C.; Columbia, S.C.;  and Charleston, S.C.).

Aug. 9, 2022: Revolve and TikTok star Remi Bader teamed up to launch Revolve’s first extended size collection. Bader, who has 2.1 million followers TikTok, gained a strong community after sharing frustrations with the fashion industry surrounding sizing and fit for curvier body types on TikTok, which led to the inception of Remi x Revolve. The line includes 15 styles, from suiting and matching sets to dresses and skirts, in sizes XXS to 4X, available on Revolve.com and will be followed by a second drop in September with a special activation during New York Fashion Week. Prices range from $55 to $150. And Bader was incredibly involved in the design process where she participated as a fit model in the final stages of sampling, for instance. Within the extended size range of 0X-4X, longer lengths for mini dresses, additional depth for bust of tops, and leg openings of bodysuits were adjusted. “When we first announced [this], I said that every piece in the collection would be something I was never able to find in my size, or for my body,” Bader explained in a statement. “Now I am able to make this available to people that feel the same way… The process over the past few months has shown that there is incredible interest and demand, and there is also a constant need to evolve, and understand customer needs. Being able to share the process, and provide step-by-step input from myself and my community has been instrumental.”

For me, this is an observation that carries hope within it. Every time I see a flower growing in a crack of concrete in the pavement I am reminded of the strength of plants and nature.You can discover the collaboration when it drops on July 13 on Charles & Keith’s website.

For the capsule, Atmos delivers two colorways of the style in “Instinct” multi-animal print and “Logic,” which is reminiscent of the original colorway. “While the ‘Logic’ colorway is almost a one-to-one replica of the original design with a very subtle Atmos DNA, the ‘Instinct’ colorway is much more of an expression of Atmos Japan’s heritage, which is something that I’ve obviously been familiar with for the last 15+ years but have only recently been able to design against and use as part of my palette. We wanted to pay respect to both brands as part of the design process.” shared Kelton Bumgarner, the creative director of Atmos USA. The Atmos x Cole Haan ØriginalGrand “Instinct” will retail for $200, while “Logic” will both retail for $180.

The partnership, which launched in fall 2021, includes a semester-long course in studio design, where students create two items for a potential Stuart Weitzman collection.

Edmundo Castillo, Stuart Weitzman’s global head of design said the students represent the next generation of shoe designers. “It was an honor to mentor them throughout the semester,” Castillo said. “They drew inspiration from topics close to their hearts, like climate change, representation and inclusivity, and it was so inspiring to see their artistic vision come to life through their designs. I look forward to seeing where their shoes take them in the future.”
