2 New Drops From Size? x BILLY'S x Adidas & PUMA x OPEN YY Give Us Life!
In the world of footwear, collaborations are the Wild West – anything and everything can happen, and we're here for it! From a sudden resurrection of a beloved classic, to an amalgamation of something entirely new and different, the possibilities are endless. Check out these out-of-this-world sneakers we've got our eyes on today. size? x BILLY'S x adidas Sapporo Japan City Series To commemorate its 25th anniversary, size? joined forces with adidas and BILLY's Tokyo for a three-way project called the 'Sapporo Collection.' The line-up reinterprets the iconic adidas Munchen silhouette, with each partner contributing their own creative direction. Each shoe is designed independently, reflecting the individual vision of its creator, even though they are presented as a collaborative effort. In homage to the UK's signature liquor, which has been widely accepted by Japanese culture, BILLY'S Tokyo takes its cues from whisky barrels. The pair's rich brown upper, textured leathers and suede accents, which draw inspiration from brick buildings, evoke the cosiness and rugged elegance of aged whisky. On the side, a Japanese engraving of 'Sapporo' lends an artisanal and cultural touch. The blend of smooth and rough textures reflects the flavour of whisky, which is strong, but elegant. On the other hand, size? employs a more symbolic strategy, alluding to the 2002 World Cup game at Sapporo Dome, where England defeated Argentina thanks to a historic goal from David Beckham. The teal and red colourway of the shoe, as well as the gold Japanese engraving of 'Sapporo,' are inspired by this instance of cultural fusion. size? x BILLY'S x adidas Sapporo Japan City Series is available in two colourways and retails for JP¥16,500 (~RM485). Check out more details or purchase a pair at size?, BILLY'S, and the adidas official website. PUMA x OPEN YY's H-Street sneaker In their second joint collection, PUMA and Seoul-based fashion brand OPEN YY have given the classic H-Street trainer a new lease of life, while also providing a selection of stylish clothing. This collaboration skilfully combines OPEN YY's unique, feminine-edged streetwear style with PUMA's athletic heritage. The redesigned PUMA H-Street sneaker, a track and field classic from 2003 with origins in the late 1990s Harambee spike, is the focal point of the partnership. With high-end nubuck overlays, open mesh underlays for breathability, and a detachable dual-branded tongue for multiple styling options, OPEN YY enhances the silhouette. Three crisp colourways – white, blue, and beige – will be offered. In addition to the shoes, the collection includes a variety of 'elevated apparel' that aims to conflate fashion and performance. Running vests, fitted shorts, and simple sleeveless tops are examples of clothing that combines practical style with a feminine touch. The campaign highlights movement, light, and self-direction, demonstrating how the collection effortlessly integrates with everyday life. PUMA ambassador Rosé attended the campaign's initial launch event in Seoul. The collection is set to hit shelves globally on 10th June, with a retail price announcement to follow.

Elon Musk is not the father of my kids: Ayumi Hamasaki sets the record straight
Ayumi Hamasaki went on social media earlier this week to quash rthe umours that Elon Musk is her baby daddy. Photos: Ayumi Hamasaki/Instagram, AP Japanese pop diva Ayumi Hamasaki would like you to know that Elon Musk is not the father of her two children, thank you very much. This misunderstanding stemmed from a New York Times article in late May, where one of Musk's ex-flames, Ashley St. Clair, said that the American billionaire had fathered the child of "a Japanese pop star". Some netizens believe it's Japanese TV personality Tenka Hashimoto, while others suspect it's 46-year-old Hamasaki. For the record, Musk, 53, has already fathered 14 children with several different women. Hamasaki went on social media earlier this week to quash the rumours. 'I've been keeping an eye on this, and I guess it's time for me to speak up. Elon Musk is not the father of [either of] my kids," the singer said on Instagram on June 2. The J-pop star, who has been married twice, has two children aged six and four. She has remained tight-lipped about their father's identity. Hamasaki is more amused than upset at the rumours. She said: "I mean, I can understand if someone were to think it seems like the sort of thing I'd do. Even my mum laughed when she heard the rumours, saying, 'This seems kind of Ayu-like'." Hamasaki added that she felt the need to set the record straight for the sake of her children. 'Setting aside my personal image, when my kids are old enough to start Googling things I don't want them to run into the rumours and think they're true, so I'm firmly denying them," she said.
