Domino’s Australia is turning up the flavour with a fresh brand platform, a supersized New Yorker range, a major Coca-Cola partnership and plenty more on the way.
There are some things you can pause.
The laptop. The group chat. The movie. Whatever you were doing five minutes ago.
But when Domino’s arrives, apparently everything else can wait.
Domino’s Australia has officially entered a new era with the launch of its new ‘Drop Everything* It’s Domino’s’™** brand platform, putting craveability, personality and the simple joy of pizza back at the centre of the brand.
Developed with Bureau of Everything, the new platform is built around a pretty relatable idea: when that Domino’s box arrives, suddenly whatever you were doing before doesn’t seem quite as important.
And honestly, we get it.
Meet the New Yorker
First up is the new Domino’s New Yorker range, launching nationally with some serious New York energy.
At an authentic 16 inches, the New Yorker is the biggest pizza currently on the Domino’s menu. It comes with hand-stretched dough, premium toppings and those giant foldable slices that are basically made for grabbing, folding and getting stuck in.
The new range features five New York-inspired pizzas:
The Big Cheese
Pepperoni Boss
Hot Honey Pepperoni Boss
Little Italy
Bacon Kingpin
The range is already live across Domino’s Australia, with the New Yorker section currently featuring all five pizzas.
And yes, the Hot Honey Pepperoni Boss sounds exactly like the kind of pizza that can derail your plans for the evening.
Domino’s x Coca-Cola
The refresh isn’t stopping at the pizza box.
Domino’s has also announced Coca-Cola as its new drinks partner, bringing two instantly recognisable brands together across the Domino’s experience in Australia and New Zealand.
Because a giant New Yorker with an ice-cold Coke?
Yeah. That combination makes sense.
Sydney Is Getting a New York Takeover
Domino’s is also taking the New Yorker beyond the store.
On Thursday 17 September, a bright yellow New York-style cab will hit the streets of Sydney, transformed into a Domino’s New Yorker delivery vehicle.
The cab will travel through some of Sydney’s recognisable locations, making special deliveries along the way, with free New Yorker pizza and Coca-Cola available at selected stops. Domino’s says fans should keep an eye on its social channels for locations and details.
Then on Thursday 24 September, Domino’s is bringing the NYC energy back to Sydney with a free New York-inspired Block Party, featuring DJs, entertainment, giveaways and plenty of New Yorker pizza.
More details are set to be announced through Domino’s Australia’s social channels.
And There’s More Coming
The New Yorker might be the first big drop, but Domino’s isn’t finished.
The brand has teased another major announcement this Wednesday, with something aimed squarely at dessert lovers.
So, if you see a yellow cab cruising around Sydney this week, don’t assume you’ve somehow ended up in Manhattan.
The New Yorker has landed.
And Domino’s is telling everyone to Drop Everything* It’s Domino’s..™**

UP THERE and Up There Athletics are teaming up with adidas for their first collaboration together, giving the Adizero Evo SL ATR an outdoor-ready makeover that blends performance, utility and streetwear style.
The adidas Adizero Evo SL ATR by UP THERE & Up There Athletics takes the versatile runner and pushes it into a more rugged direction, combining technical outdoor materials with a colour palette inspired by both brands.
Built for more than just the pavement, the sneaker features a water-repellent ripstop nylon upper, fused TPU mudguard and a lugged Continental rubber outsole designed to provide additional traction.
Underfoot, adidas‘ Lightstrike Pro midsole tooling keeps the performance DNA of the Adizero Evo SL intact, while reflective stripes add another functional detail to the design.
The colourway keeps things earthy and understated, with contrasting pops of green becoming the standout feature. Fluorescent green appears across the sawtooth laces and external branding, while richer green tones hit the pull-tab webbing and insole, a signature touch from UP THERE.
The collaboration comes with two sets of sawtooth laces, green and khaki, giving you the option to switch up the look depending on how you want to wear them.
It’s a pretty natural progression for the Adizero Evo SL ATR, bringing together adidas’ performance technology with the Australian retailers’ distinct approach to colour, outdoor influence and contemporary sneaker culture.
And with this being the first project between UP THERE and Up There Athletics, it’s a collaboration worth keeping an eye on.
The adidas Adizero Evo SL ATR by UP THERE & Up There Athletics drops September 17. Sign up to our newsletter for the latest updates and exclusive drops. For other SNEAKER features, click here.
atmoscon is back, and the 2026 edition is shaping up to be one of the biggest celebrations of sneakers, music, fashion and contemporary culture in Japan.
Taking over Tokyo’s Shinjuku Sumitomo Building on October 31 and November 1, 2026, atmoscon 2026 will bring together 26 leading brands under the theme “PLAYGROUND for Next Generations.”
But this isn’t just another sneaker event.
This year’s atmoscon is designed as a full-day cultural experience, taking over both the Triangle Plaza on Level 1 and the Underground Hall on B1, giving visitors plenty to explore beyond simply checking out the latest releases.
26 Brands. One Massive Playground.
The 1F Triangle Plaza will be packed with brand activations, exclusive products and experiences from some of the biggest names in the sneaker world.
Image from atmoscon 2025
Expect to see Nike, Jordan Brand, adidas Originals, New Balance, ASICS SportStyle, Converse, BIRKENSTOCK, HOKA, Salomon, On, PUMA, Vans, Crocs, Saucony, Merrell, FILA, Crep and more.
The 2026 edition also welcomes several brands making their atmoscon debut, including New Era, ’47, NORTHWAVE, KEEN, HYBEX and Anima.
Image from atmoscon 2025
And atmoscon is pushing beyond sneakers and fashion this year, with LIBERTY WALK bringing its automotive culture to the event, while Japanese esports organisation CRAZY RACCOON joins the lineup.
One of the collaborations we’re definitely keeping an eye on is the adidas Originals x atmos x LIBERTY WALK project.
The LIBERTY WALK booth will showcase a special collection inspired by the collaboration, including an atmos-exclusive scale model of the LB-Super Silhouette 180.
Visitors can also pick up an event-exclusive special box featuring the commemorative scale model alongside a limited-edition collaboration T-shirt featuring all three brands.
For car and sneaker heads, this is definitely one booth worth making a beeline for.
CRAZY RACCOON will also have a dedicated presence at atmoscon, displaying championship trophies alongside the highly anticipated adidas Originals × atmos × CR collection.
Members of the organisation’s streamer roster are also scheduled to make appearances, bringing another side of Japanese youth culture into the event.
It’s another example of atmoscon expanding beyond traditional sneaker culture and into the wider worlds of gaming, entertainment and lifestyle.
More Than Just Shopping
Image from atmoscon 2025
The Underground Hall will become the heart of the music experience, with live performances covering genres including J-Pop, idol and hip-hop.
Meanwhile, atmos pink will bring its “atmos pink Lab”, where visitors can create custom charms, personalise caps and socks, and take photos at the Life4Cuts self-photo studio.
The idea is simple: don’t just walk around looking at products — get involved.
PLAYGROUND for Next Generations
The theme for 2026, “PLAYGROUND for Next Generations,” is about creating a space where the next generation can discover new products, ideas and people.
atmos describes culture as something that grows organically from the streets, communities and people who bring it to life — and atmoscon is designed to bring those groups together under one roof.
There’s even a bigger push for younger visitors this year, with free admission to the 1F venue extended to high school students and younger. Eligible visitors may be asked to show valid student identification.
atmoscon 2026
With sneakers, fashion, music, food, automotive culture, art, gaming and exclusive collaborations all packed into one venue, atmoscon 2026 feels less like a traditional sneaker convention and more like a snapshot of where street culture is heading.
And with 26 brands, two floors and two full days, Tokyo is going to have one serious playground this October.

atmoscon 2026 📅 October 31 – November 1, 2026 📍 Shinjuku Sumitomo Building, Tokyo 🎮 Theme: PLAYGROUND for Next Generations 👟 26 brands 🎟️ Ticket details to be announced via the official atmoscon website

After making its Parramatta debut earlier in the year, It’s More Than Just Sneakers returned to Sydney on Saturday, July 25, 2026, for its second Sydney event of the year.
The July edition continued the momentum from the April event, bringing together sneaker collectors, streetwear fans, resellers and collectors from across the community for another day centred around buying, selling, trading and simply catching up with like minded people.
Following the move to the Albion Hotel in April, the second Sydney event was another opportunity to see how It’s More Than Just Sneakers continues to evolve while keeping the same idea at its core.
It isn’t just about showing up to buy sneakers.
It is about the people you meet, the collections you discover and the conversations that happen around the tables.
As the doors opened, the venue quickly filled with the familiar mix of collectors and vendors. Tables were lined with sneakers spanning different brands, eras and styles, with plenty of opportunities to find something that might not normally turn up in your usual sneaker store.
For collectors, events like this are always about the hunt. You might arrive looking for one particular pair and leave having discovered something completely different.
There were also new vendors joining the event, adding even more variety to the day. From health supplements and apparel vendors to Pokémon rugs, Hot Wheels, Funko Pops and, of course, sneakers, there was something for all kinds of collectors and interests.
That variety is a big part of what makes the event what it is. You can come looking for a pair of sneakers and end up discovering a Pokémon rug, checking out some Hot Wheels, finding a new piece of apparel or adding a Funko Pop to the collection. To all the new vendors who joined us for the first time, welcome to the family.
And while sneakers remain the foundation of the event, the July edition once again showed that the culture surrounding them has grown well beyond footwear.
There is also something different about seeing collections in person.
Online marketplaces and social media make it easier than ever to buy and sell, but they don’t quite replicate the experience of being able to pick something up, look at the details, talk to
A massive thank you goes out to our sponsors and vendors for their ongoing support, and to our incredible volunteers who make sure everything runs smoothly. You’re all a big part of what makes It’s More Than Just Sneakersone of the most loved events on the scene.
Until next time, Sydney. Thank you for the love and energy. Make sure you’re following @thekickzstand and signed up for our newsletter so you don’t miss the next stop of the tour. Trust us, you’ll want to be there. For information on other It’s More Than Just Sneakers events or features, click HERE.
Cecilie Bahnsen and ASICS are back with another striking collaboration, introducing the GEL-KINETIC™ FR, a fashion-forward silhouette inspired by the movement and energy of flowers in motion.
Arriving in two core colourways, Piedmont Grey/Silver and Black Coffee, the latest release continues the creative partnership between the Copenhagen-based designer and ASICS, blending Bahnsen’s signature modern femininity with the brand’s technical approach to footwear.
The concept behind the GEL-KINETIC™ FR comes from nature in constant motion — petals falling, stems growing and flowers shifting with the environment. That idea is translated directly into the sneaker through layered textures, sculptural details and playful floral elements.
The upper features a fine micro-textured base with a soft semi-matte finish, contrasted by subtle high-shine surfaces that catch the light. Debossed, embossed and high-frequency flower motifs are worked into the construction, making the floral detailing feel like part of the shoe rather than simply an added graphic.
Small flower charms and beads add another layer of personality, bringing rhythm and movement to the silhouette. Archival lacing and strap systems are also reworked with a more dynamic construction, while a softly padded half tongue and adjustable Velcro straps provide comfort and flexibility.
Of course, the unmistakable Cecilie Bahnsen DNA is still there. Her signature drawcord lacing and flower-shaped eyelets give the GEL-KINETIC™ FR its distinctive fashion-led identity.
Underfoot, ASICS brings its performance heritage into the mix with a sculptural GEL™ heel structure, designed to provide cushioning and impact absorption while keeping the silhouette feeling lightweight and contemporary.
The campaign takes the concept of movement even further. Shot with artist and photographer Isabelle Wenzel, the imagery explores the body through abstraction, movement and play, set against the striking architecture of an open-air theatre in Copenhagen.
Through fragmented and reconstructed compositions, limbs, gestures and silhouettes become almost sculptural — creating a visual language that connects Bahnsen’s world of modern femininity with ASICS’ Sound Mind, Sound Body philosophy.
The result is another Cecilie Bahnsen x ASICS collaboration that sits comfortably between fashion and performance, using texture, movement and playful floral details to give the GEL-KINETIC™ FR a personality all its own.
Release Details
Model:Cecilie Bahnsen x ASICS GEL-KINETIC™ FR Colourways: Piedmont Grey/Silver & Black Coffee Release Date: September 12, 2026

Apple had a pretty big night. The September 9 Apple Event delivered the usual next-generation iPhone upgrades, but this time there was a much bigger surprise waiting at the end.
After introducing the new iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, Apple finally unveiled something we’ve been hearing about for years: iPhone Duo, Apple‘s first-ever foldable iPhone.
And it is easily the headline of the entire event.
Alongside the new iPhones, Apple also introduced Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4 and AirPods 5, while pushing Apple Intelligence further across the ecosystem.
Here’s everything you need to know.
iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max Get Serious
Before Apple dropped its biggest surprise, it introduced the new iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
Both models feature the new A20 Pro chip, designed to deliver a major jump in performance, graphics and on-device AI. Apple has also redesigned the thermal system with a much larger vapour chamber to help sustain performance during demanding tasks.
The Pro models now come in Burgundy, Glacier, Silver and Black, with 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays respectively.
But photography is where things get particularly interesting.
The new 48MP Pro Fusion camera system introduces the first variable aperture on an iPhone, giving users more control over light and depth of field. The system also includes a 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide and 48MP Fusion Telephoto camera with up to 8x optical-quality zoom.
Apple is also offering up to 2TB of storage for the first time.
For Australia, the iPhone 18 Pro starts at A$2,099, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at A$2,299. Pre-orders open September 12, with availability beginning September 18.
Then Apple Said: One More Thing…
And this was the moment everyone was waiting for.
Apple finally revealed iPhone Duo.
This is Apple’s first foldable iPhone, and rather than simply folding a standard iPhone in half, Apple has redesigned iOS around the new form factor.
Closed, Duo features a 5.4-inch outer display. Open it up and you’re looking at a massive 7.6-inch inner Super Retina XDR display, making it the largest display ever put into an iPhone.
The inner display also features a special nano-texture finish designed to reduce reflections and make the fold less noticeable.
Both displays support ProMotion, Always-On and up to 3,000 nits of outdoor brightness.
And yes, Apple Pencil support is coming later this year.
A Foldable That Actually Changes How You Use an iPhone
The hardware is only half the story.
Apple has redesigned iOS 27 around Duo’s two-screen experience.
When you open the phone, apps can automatically expand onto the larger display, while multitasking lets you run two apps side-by-side.
You can have Messages open alongside Mail, browse the web while watching video, or position the device in different ways to create what Apple calls a more flexible experience.
Duo can also be partially folded into different positions, essentially turning the phone into its own stand.
Apple has also moved Face ID away from the equation, with Touch ID built into the side button.
Underneath it all is the A20 Pro chip, supported by a redesigned thermal system and two batteries positioned within the two halves of the device.
The result is an iPhone that feels more like a phone when closed and something closer to a mini tablet when opened.
The Camera Gets a Foldable Makeover
Apple hasn’t forgotten photography either.
iPhone Duo features a 48MP Dual Fusion camera system, combining a 48MP Fusion Main and 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide camera.
There’s also up to 2x optical-quality zoom, 4K Dolby Vision video at up to 120fps and improved low-light video.
But one of the coolest features is Duo Preview.
When you’re taking a photo of someone, the person you’re photographing can see themselves on the outer display before you take the shot.
And because Duo has cameras on both sides of the device, Apple is leaning heavily into the idea of using the entire phone as a creative tool rather than simply another camera phone.
iPhone Duo Is Coming to Australia
This is the part that will hurt the wallet.
In Australia, iPhone Duo starts at A$3,499.
It will be available in Night Sky and Star White, with 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB storage options.
Australian customers can buy iPhone Duo from Apple and selected carriers and retailers from October 23, 2026.
At A$3,499, this is definitely not replacing the regular iPhone.
It’s Apple entering an entirely new category.
AirPods 5 Bring ANC to More People
Apple also introduced AirPods 5, and this might be one of the more interesting upgrades for everyday users.
The new open-ear AirPods now feature Active Noise Cancellation, with Apple claiming up to 50 per cent more noise reduction than AirPods 4 with ANC.
There’s also a redesigned acoustic architecture, next-generation Adaptive EQ, improved Transparency mode and Personalised Spatial Audio.
And Apple is pushing its AI features here too.
AirPods 5 can access Siri AI hands-free, while head gestures allow users to respond to Siri without touching their phone.
Then there’s Live Translation, allowing AirPods to help translate conversations across supported languages.
Australian pricing starts at A$219, while AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case cost A$249.
Both are available from September 18.
Apple Watch Series 12 Is Getting Smarter About Your Health
The new Apple Watch Series 12 might look familiar, but underneath it Apple has introduced a completely new Health Sensing System.
The biggest addition is Readiness.
Instead of simply showing you a collection of health statistics, Apple Watch analyses your activity, sleep and vital signs to give you a daily score from 0–10.
The result is a simple recommendation:
Recover. Pace Yourself. Ready. Go For It.
The new system also measures heart rate and heart rate variability more frequently, giving users a better picture of stress and recovery.
There’s also a redesigned Health app coming later this year with features including Health Age and a new Longevity section.
Apple Watch Series 12 starts at A$649 in Australia, with availability from September 18.
Apple Watch Ultra 4 Is Built for the Long Haul
For the adventure crowd, Apple also introduced Apple Watch Ultra 4.
The new Ultra keeps its rugged titanium design but gets the same Health Sensing System and S11 chip found in Series 12.
The headline upgrade?
Battery life.
Ultra 4 can provide up to 50 hours of everyday battery life, with up to 84 hours in Low Power Mode.
For serious outdoor workouts, Max Extended Workout mode can track runs, walks and hikes for up to 45 hours, with GPS and heart-rate readings continuing throughout.
There’s also the new Readiness feature, higher-frequency HRV measurements, satellite connectivity and new Audio Intelligence features.
In Australia, Apple Watch Ultra 4 starts at A$1,349, with availability from September 18.
Apple Intelligence Gets Even More Personal
Running through all of these announcements is Apple’s bigger push into Apple Intelligence.
With iOS 27, Apple is making Siri more conversational and more aware of personal context, while keeping privacy at the centre of the experience.
Siri AI can understand information across apps and help users take actions without having to manually jump between them.
Apple is also introducing features like Live Translation, while Apple Watch gains tools such as Siri Recap and Live Rewind.
For example, Live Rewind can transcribe the last 15 seconds of a conversation, allowing you to quickly go back to something you might have missed.
It’s a much bigger shift towards Apple Intelligence becoming something you interact with throughout the entire Apple ecosystem rather than simply another feature on your iPhone.
So, What’s the Big Story?
There were plenty of announcements last night, but there’s really one that stands above everything else.
iPhone Duo.
Apple has spent years watching Samsung, Google and others experiment with foldable phones. Now it’s finally entering the category, but in typical Apple fashion, it’s not simply presenting a folding screen.
It’s trying to rethink what an iPhone can actually be.
A phone when you need it.
A bigger screen when you want it.
A device that can stand, fold, multitask and adapt to how you’re using it.
At A$3,499, it’s certainly not going to be for everyone.
But that’s probably not the point.
Apple has officially entered the foldable era.
And things are about to get interesting.

The next few months are going to be busy.
And honestly? Switch 2 owners are eating good.

ASICS is linking up with INVINCIBLE® and MADNESS for a fresh take on the GEL-KAYANO™ 12.1, bringing together Japanese running heritage, contemporary Asian street culture and MADNESS’ signature outdoor-meets-urban aesthetic.
Following INVINCIBLE® and ASICS’ GEL-NIMBUS™ 10.1 collaboration in 2025, the two return in 2026 with MADNESS joining the project for the first time. The result is a GEL-KAYANO™ 12.1 that feels right at home between the city and the outdoors.
Inspired by Dolomite Rock, the sneaker takes cues from natural textures and mineral surfaces. Around ten different materials are layered across the upper, creating a mix of textures and contrasts while keeping the design lightweight and breathable.
A translucent MONO yarn overlay adds another dimension, creating a subtle visual window across the upper that represents the transition between urban environments and outdoor exploration.
The details continue with signature INVINCIBLE® and MADNESS touches, including zigzag stitching, statement branding and fluorescent contrast hits. Rather than going loud with the colour palette, the collaboration keeps things understated with layered bone white and cream tones for a natural, low-saturation finish.
Underneath, the GEL-KAYANO™ 12.1 retains its original running DNA and comfort-focused foundation, while the three brands give the archival silhouette a more contemporary, retro-futuristic direction.
For MADNESS founder Shawn Yue, the collaboration was an opportunity to explore how materials and design could connect ASICS’ sporting heritage with the brand’s appreciation for nature, urban environments and everyday wear.
The INVINCIBLE® x MADNESS x ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 12.1 is ultimately about movement in all forms — from running through the city to exploring beyond it — while showing just how versatile ASICS’ archival running silhouettes can be in today’s lifestyle space.

Nintendo just dropped a massive celebration of The Legend of Zelda’s 40th anniversary, and honestly… this is the Zelda announcement I’ve been waiting for.
Forty years after The Legend of Zelda first took players into Hyrule, Nintendo has kicked off the celebrations with a huge showcase centered around one of the most legendary games in the franchise — The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
And this isn’t just a simple re-release.
Ocarina of Time Is Back
The 1998 classic is being rebuilt for Nintendo Switch 2, with completely overhauled visuals, improved camera and movement controls, fully voiced cutscenes, expanded character dialogue and new symphonic orchestral music.
Nintendo also showed off new gameplay features, including free movement and jumping, a redesigned camera system and Threads of Time, which helps players keep track of their story progress and next objectives.
For anyone who grew up with the Nintendo 64 original, seeing Hyrule brought back like this is pretty special.

First Look at the Gameplay
Nintendo also gave us a much longer look at the game, showing off redesigned locations, updated environments and some of the new gameplay mechanics.
The remake keeps the heart of Ocarina of Time intact while giving Link and Hyrule a serious modern-day upgrade.
And yes, the ocarina is still front and centre.

A Zelda Switch 2 Made for the 40th Anniversary
Nintendo wasn’t finished there.
Launching October 29, 2026, is the Nintendo Switch 2 – The Legend of Zelda – 40th Anniversary Edition, featuring Triforce-inspired detailing across the console, Joy-Con 2 controllers and dock.
A matching Zelda 40th Anniversary Pro Controller and Carrying Case & Screen Protector will also launch on the same day.
One important detail for collectors: the console does not include Ocarina of Time.
If there’s one thing Zelda has always nailed, it’s the music.
Nintendo is also celebrating 40 years of Zelda with an orchestral concert series, bringing the music of Hyrule to live audiences.
And for Australian fans, there’s even more to look forward to, with the Zelda 40th Anniversary Concert coming to Australia in May 2027.

When Can You Play Ocarina of Time?
The big date is November 5, 2026.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will launch exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2, with both physical and digital versions available. Nintendo has announced international pricing of US$59.99 for digital and US$69.99 for physical, with Australian pricing still to be confirmed.
For Australian fans, keep an eye on Nintendo Australia, The Gamesmen, JB Hi-Fi and EB Games for local pre-orders and pricing as listings go live.
And Then There’s The Legend of Zelda Movie
Nintendo also officially revealed the title of the upcoming live-action film:
The Legend of Zelda.
The movie is currently scheduled to hit cinemas worldwide on April 30, 2027, with series creator Shigeru Miyamoto and the Zelda development team involved in the project.
So yeah… the Zelda 40th anniversary is already looking pretty stacked.

Hyrule Is Calling
I’ve been waiting for Nintendo to show us more of this remake, and after seeing the gameplay, November 5 can’t come soon enough.
Ocarina of Time is one of those games that helped define an entire generation of gaming. Seeing Nintendo rebuild it with modern visuals, updated controls and new features while keeping the spirit of the original is exactly what I wanted.
Add the anniversary Switch 2, the orchestra tour and everything else Nintendo has planned, and the next chapter of Zelda’s 40th anniversary is looking seriously good.

New Era is taking its iconic 9FORTY to Guadeloupe for a special collaboration with designer and creative director Selecta Bisso, creating a limited-edition cap that puts Guadeloupean culture, identity and Gwoka at the centre of the design.
Dubbed ‘Toumblak,’ the collaboration is limited to just 200 pieces worldwide, but there’s a catch. The cap will be available exclusively in Guadeloupe, making the island the only place in the world where you can officially pick one up.
For Bisso, that exclusivity is intentional. Rather than immediately sending the collaboration around the globe, the project gives people outside Guadeloupe a reason to connect with family and friends on the island to secure a piece.
At the heart of the design is Gwoka, one of Guadeloupe’s most important forms of cultural expression. Built around Ka drums, Gwoka brings together music, singing, dance and collective expression, carrying generations of history and community.
The Toumblak rhythm is known for its warm, vibrant and dance-driven energy and that spirit becomes the foundation for the 9FORTY.
The cap itself starts with an understated black base, allowing the embroidered details to take centre stage. Deep blue references Karukéra, meaning “the island of beautiful waters,” while the Guadeloupean flag reinforces the connection to the territory.
A custom collaboration patch brings together a Ka drum and hibiscus flowers, creating a visual link between music, nature and Caribbean culture.
One of the most meaningful details is hidden underneath the visor. Embroidered in orange is the phrase:
“Kilti an nou sé fòs an nou” – “Our culture is our strength.”
The orange represents the warmth, energy and strength of Toumblak, while the hidden placement turns the message into something personal for the wearer, a reminder that cultural heritage can continue to evolve through contemporary design.
For New Era, the collaboration also represents another step beyond its sporting roots. Founded in Buffalo, New York, in 1920, the brand has spent more than a century evolving from a baseball headwear company into a global symbol across hip-hop, streetwear and fashion.
Bisso sees the collaboration as a particularly meaningful moment, referencing New Era’s history of working with influential cultural figures such as Spike Lee, who helped push the brand into new cultural territory during the 1990s.
With ‘Toumblak,’ New Era and Selecta Bisso aren’t simply putting Guadeloupean graphics onto a cap. They’re using one of streetwear’s most recognisable silhouettes as a platform to tell a story about identity, heritage and the strength of culture.
And with only 200 pieces being made worldwide, this is one New Era 9FORTY that will be staying very close to home.
