Juun.J x Reebok Instapump Fury
Release Date: March 19
Where to Buy: Juun.J
Editor’s Notes: For Spring/Summer 2021, Reebok has enlisted Juun.J to reimagine the Instapump Fury. Instapump Fury colorways tend to be characterized by their color-blocking, but that is not the case with the Juun.J collaboration, as the Korean designer has gone with a monochromatic look. The Juun.J x Reebok Instapump Fury arrives in two shiny colorways and is accompanied by a range of matching apparel. The collab will be available on reebok.com beginning April 1, following an initial launch through Juun.J on March 19.
Wacko Maria x Vault by Vans OG Authentic LX
Release Date: March 20
Where to Buy: Vault by Vans retailers worldwide
Editor’s Notes: Wacko Maria's debut collaboration with Vans references founder Atsuhiko Mori’s first business, a Tokyo bar called Rock Steady. Featuring three colorways of the Authentic, the Spring 2021 project serves to celebrate vinyl records and collector culture, with a repeating vinyl record pattern being showcased on each iteration of the Authentic. The release of the Wacko Maria x Vault by Vans OG Authentic LX will be followed by a second collab launching later this season.
ALYX Mono Slip
Release Date: Available now
Where to Buy: ALYX
Editor’s Notes: ALYX has introduced the Mono Slip during a time when many of us remain on the lookout for that next cozy, work from home footwear option. The Mono Slip certainly fits the bill, as it is seamlessly molded from a single piece of EVA foam to provide unmatched comfort. Spring/Summer 2021 sees the shoe being optioned in white and black colorways, while additional iterations are on the way for Fall/Winter 2021.
Pharrell x adidas "Triple Black" Collection
Release Date: March 19
Where to Buy: adidas, the Confirmed app, and select retailers
Editor’s Notes: Pharrell and adidas are back with their second "Triple Black" collection. Arriving in just a matter of days, the assortment consists of six styles spanning performance and lifestyle categories. The capsule includes monochromatic colorways of the PW HU NMD and PW 0-60, Terrex Freehiker C.RDY hiking boots and Terrex Trail Maxer Mid GTX sneakers, and the BYW 2.0 and D.O.N. Issue #2.
Slam Jam x Converse Bosey MC
Release Date: March 20
Where to Buy: Slam Jam
Editor’s Notes: Slam Jam and Converse look to the outdoors as inspiration for their latest collab. The joint foray is led by the Bosey MC, which emerges in two iterations, a white low-top and a black high-top, each crafted from water-repellent canvas and featuring a durable tread outsole and speed lacing. The footwear is paired with an accompanying apparel collection to complete the collaboration. Look for availability through Converse and select retailers on March 25, following the initial release on March 20.
KidSuper x PUMA SS21
Release Date: March 20
Where to Buy: PUMA.com, the PUMA NYC flagship, and select retailers

Challenging the conventional look of the sneaker, the collaboration includes four footwear silhouettes, each featuring its own distinct embellishment. The Trailfox Boot and Mirage Mox have both been given a colorful makeover, while the Ralph Sampson 70 provides a more subtle option. The RS-2K Slip-on is then decked out in camouflage and draped in a quilted material on the upper.
