AFEW x Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10 ‘Today Was A Good Day’

0

Sometimes the best collaborations aren’t about telling a complicated story. They’re about capturing a feeling. That’s exactly what AFEW and Brooks have done with the Adrenaline GTS 10 ‘Today Was A Good Day’, a release that blends performance running with a healthy dose of nostalgia.

Inspired by those days where everything just seems to click, the collaboration focuses on positive energy rather than a specific moment. It’s the kind of sneaker that reminds you to appreciate the little wins, whether you’re heading out for a run or simply enjoying the day.

Visually, the pair delivers plenty to love. A soft gradient mesh upper fades from Fig to Bridal Rose, while metallic synthetic leather, hairy suede overlays, and glossy patent leather accents add depth without feeling over the top. The warm combination of High Risk Red, Fiery Coral, Vanilla Ice, Cloud Dancer, and Fig gives the sneaker a fresh yet vintage-inspired vibe.

AFEW didn’t stop at the colourway either. The collaboration features custom tongue labels, co-branded heel detailing inspired by the GO2 Series, a standout 3D gel sticker on the lateral side, and three interchangeable lace options that let you switch up the look depending on your mood. It’s a sneaker with plenty of personality while staying clean enough for everyday wear.

Performance hasn’t been overlooked either. Under the hood, the Adrenaline GTS 10 stays true to its running roots with DNA LOFT cushioning for a smooth ride and GuideRails support to keep every stride comfortable and stable. Whether you’re chasing kilometers or just rocking them casually, the technology is there when you need it.

The AFEW x Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10 ‘Today Was A Good Day’ is proof that not every collaboration needs to be loud to make an impact. Clean colours, thoughtful storytelling, and everyday wearability come together in a release that reminds us to enjoy the journey, one step at a time.

The AFEW x Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10 ‘Today Was A Good Day’ releases on August 1, 2026. A raffle is already live through AFEW store, with the pair available via the retailer’s official channels.

CARNIVAL® x adidas Adizero EVO SL ‘The Grey Console’

0

Gaming nostalgia meets performance running in one of the cleanest collaborations of the year. CARNIVAL® has teamed up with adidas to introduce the Adizero EVO SL ‘The Grey Console’, a sneaker that pays tribute to the classic gaming consoles that defined the early 2000s while staying true to the Adizero family’s performance DNA.

Inspired by the iconic grey consoles many of us grew up with, the sneaker keeps things understated with a clean grey upper before bringing it to life through hits of red, yellow, green, and blue. The colourful details are a nod to classic controller buttons, pixel graphics, and retro gaming interfaces, giving the pair just the right amount of nostalgia without overdoing it.

While the inspiration comes from gaming, the performance is all about running. The Adizero EVO SL features a breathable mesh upper paired with adidas’ LIGHTSTRIKE PRO midsole for lightweight cushioning and responsive energy return. A sculpted midsole helps drive smooth transitions, while the Continental™ rubber forefoot outsole delivers reliable grip when you’re picking up the pace.

More than just another colourway, ‘The Grey Console’ celebrates the connection between gaming culture and running. Just like pressing Start begins an adventure, every run starts with the decision to take that first step. It’s a simple concept executed in a way that feels both nostalgic and modern.

For collectors, CARNIVAL® is also dropping an exclusive Special Box Set available to  CARNIVAL® Gold Members. The package features custom console-inspired artwork and includes a drawstring bag, extra laces, lace accessories, a stopwatch, and race bib magnets, making it one of the more thoughtful collaboration packages we’ve seen this year.

The CARNIVAL® x adidas Adizero EVO SL ‘The Grey Console’ are now available at all CARNIVAL® stores, online, and through the CARNIVAL® App for THB 5,800.

Whether you’re a runner, a sneakerhead, or someone who grew up blowing dust out of game cartridges, this collaboration is a reminder that some of the best ideas come from pressing Start.

Review: GOLF leFLEUR* x Converse X Pro Leather Low

0

Today, we review the GOLF leFLEUR* x Converse X Pro Leather Low in the White, Amazon, and Natural Ivory colorway. Straight from the creative mind of Tyler, The Creator. This release is part of a two-pack collection, with the second pair arriving in Amazon, Banana Crepe, and Lavender.

Furthermore, Converse packages the sneaker in a premium collector’s box featuring dual Converse and GOLF le FLEUR* branding. From the moment you open it, the design pays tribute to the bold style of the B-Boy and bootleg sneaker era. Every detail feels deliberate, nostalgic, and refreshingly modern.

The oversized butter-yellow embossed Star logo on the toe box immediately steals the spotlight. It instantly reminded me of the BAPE SKULL STA, which famously pays homage to the adidas Superstar. However, Tyler and Converse put their own spin on the idea. The oversized Star creates a much bolder look and gives the sneaker a distinct personality.

Converse pre-laces the shoe with thick cream laces to enhance its vintage aesthetic. Better still, the box includes an extra pair of thick white laces, so you can switch up the look right away.

The tongue features premium white leather with yellow Converse and GOLF le FLEUR* branding stamped across the top. Meanwhile, buttery-soft white leather wraps the upper, delivering a luxurious feel both in hand and on foot.

Amazon green suede covers the iconic Chevron & Star logo and heel tab, creating a striking contrast against the clean white leather upper. The rich green accents add just the right amount of color without overpowering the design.

Inside, the premium treatment continues. Soft leather lines the interior, while generous collar padding creates a plush, comfortable fit. I found this pair fits slightly roomy because of the extra cushioning, so I’d recommend going down half a size for the best fit.

Underfoot, a thick foam insole with dual Converse and GOLF le FLEUR* branding provides all-day comfort. Although it isn’t built for performance basketball, it delivers plenty of cushioning for everyday wear.

A butter-yellow textured rubber outsole completes the design and ties in perfectly with the oversized toe Star. I especially appreciate the stitched sidewall detailing, which honors the Pro Leather’s basketball heritage. Turn the shoe over, and you’ll find a brick-inspired traction pattern with a square Converse All Star logo proudly positioned in the center.

Retailing for $200 AUD, the GOLF le FLEUR x Converse Pro Leather Low* is available now at converse.com.au.

Finally, this is easily one of my favorite lifestyle collaborations of the year. It combines vintage basketball heritage, bootleg sneaker inspiration, premium craftsmanship, and Tyler, The Creator’s unmistakable creative vision into one standout silhouette. Most importantly, it’s incredibly versatile and will become a regular part of my rotation.
