The latest collaboration between District Vision and New Balance brings a fresh perspective to the iconic Minimus trail sneaker, combining minimalist design with off-road functionality.
This new iteration is available now via District Vision's official site, with a global release set for 30th April. The shoe draws inspiration from early 2000s Japanese minimalism, featuring two subtle colourways: 'Bone' and 'Umber,' both of which offer a sophisticated, monochrome vibe.
Designed for both style and performance, the Minimus showcases a low-profile Vikram outsole, perfect for natural movement and enhanced control on rugged terrain. Its blend of mesh and synthetic suede gives the sneaker a textured, tactile appeal. Exposed stitching and intricate detailing on the signature 'N' logo elevate the design to a new level of craftsmanship.
Co-branding on the tongue, insoles, heel, and custom packaging further solidifies the collaboration. This attention to detail makes the sneaker a must-have for sneakerheads. It also serves as an essential item for trail runners looking for performance and style.

McDonald's Teases BTS TinyTan & Happy Meal Collaboration
A few years ago, McDonald's launched their collaboration with K-pop group BTS (방탄소년단), sparking a worldwide frenzy. Recently, the fast food giant teased that they're collaborating with the global sensations once again. Earlier this year, the official McDonald's Twitter account posted a vague tweet that read, 'idk about u, but I miss my K-pop era a Tiny bit too much'. While the account is no stranger to posting quirky tweets and memes, this particular post piqued the interest of many ARMYs (BTS fans). Many believed that the tweet was a hint that the company is launching a new collaboration with the K-pop group. To recap, in 2021, BTS and McDonald's launched a collaboration meal, dubbed the BTS Meal. The collaboration menu featured 10 pieces of chicken nuggets, a large fries, a large drink and two dipping sauces in sweet chilli and cajun flavours. More importantly, the meal also included an exclusive, limited-edition purple McDonald's packaging with the BTS logo. The collaboration was launched worldwide, including Malaysia. The collaboration was an instant success and helped introduce McDonald's second K-pop meal featuring NewJeans. Since then, ARMYs have hoped for another large-scale partnership between BTS and the fast food giant. After sharing the cryptic tweet, McDonald's shared another teaser, this time clearly highlighting a collaboration with TinyTan, the animated character franchise based on BTS. According to news reports, McDonald's will launch a new set of toys for Happy Meal featuring the TinyTan characters. The launch is said to be on 2nd September 2025 (Tuesday), but this detail hasn't been confirmed yet. Additionally, there is no news on whether the collaboration will be a US-exclusive or a global release. Nevertheless, ARMYs are excited about the new meal, saying they're already prepared to get a Happy Meal for themselves. From the looks of it, it does seem that this new Happy Meal collaboration will be another instant hit. Are you looking forward to this new BTS meal? Sources: Twitter, Instagram

Pokemon clogs McDonald's
McDonald's Japan has apologised after a campaign giving away limited-edition Pokemon cards with 'Happy Meals' triggered long queues and social media outrage. Launched on Friday, the McDonald's stunt soon went awry with some people flocking to buy meals in bulk to resell the attached cards at a higher price online. Social media was awash with complaints about long queues at McDonald's outlets, with unverified pictures of plastic bags full of uneaten burgers and fries. Some dubbed it the 'Unhappy Meals' campaign. 'I couldn't buy a Happy Meal for my daughter because of these people', one user posted on X. 'I'm sure there are adult Pokemon fans who genuinely want the cards, but these resellers are truly embarrassing,' another wrote. Similar problems have hit other McDonald's campaigns, including past collaborations with manga series such as Chiikawa. Announcing the latest campaign, the firm stressed that each person could buy a maximum of five meals. In a statement, McDonald's conceded there were some instances of 'resale-driven mass purchases by customers' that led to 'our food being thrown away or discarded'. It added that it was looking to 'introduce a stricter cap' on future Happy Meals purchases. 'Any attempts to buy more than permitted, repeatedly stand in the line and behave intimidatingly toward our staff' will be met with a rejection, the firm said. The fast food giant also vowed to ask e-commerce sites to take more effective measures against unscrupulous resale. — AFP

Nike Is Suing Edison Chen For Over RM500k For Breach Of Contract
It's not uncommon for brands to take legal action against celebrities, typically for damaging their reputation or breaching a contract. Recently, it was reported that footwear and apparel company Nike is suing former collaborator and Hong Kong star Edison Chen (陈冠希). On 12th August 2025 (Tuesday), reports emerged online alleging that Nike is suing Edison Chen for breach of contract. In a photo, allegedly of the court record, the company is seeking damages of US$126,615,000 (approximately RM534 million). However, recent reports have updated this figure, saying it was a clerical error and that the lawsuit is actually for a little over US$126,000 (approximately RM531,000). According to reports, the lawsuit accuses Edison and his company, Juice Los Angeles, of owing Nike US$126,615 for 'goods and services that Nike provided to Juice'. Edison was named in the lawsuit because he is the personal guarantor on the Juice account with Nike. He's also a resident of Los Angeles, where his company is based. However, there are no additional details on the case. Both Nike and Edison Chen have yet to speak on the lawsuit. However, contrary to popular belief, it appears the lawsuit has nothing to do with Edison partnering with Nike's competitor, Adidas. Edison and Nike had a long-standing relationship, dating back to 2006. Edison's streetwear brand Clot and Nike's Jordan brand have collaborated on numerous sneaker projects. The partnership ended in 2023, and a year later, Clot launched its first collaboration with Adidas Originals. Given the nearly 20-year history between Edison Chen and Nike, their 'breakup' was a surprise to many in the streetwear industry. It's not known why the partnership ended, but insiders suggest that the deal had run its course and was going to expire anyway. Meanwhile, Edison and Adidas have had three launches in 2025 alone. Earlier this month, Edison also teased the launch of a Clot x Adidas Anthony Edwards 1 sneaker. It's worth noting that the Edison Chen lawsuit comes right after Nike settled their lawsuit with custom footwear maker, The Shoe Surgeon, for unauthorised use of the brand's trademarks. Only time will tell how this lawsuit will conclude, but we wish the best for both parties. Sources: WWD, Complex, Twitter
