A variety of summer shoes for different needs. A combination of brands that appeal to each.
We love footwear collaborations, and there are a ton of thoughtful partnerships going on right now that blend performance, style, and sustainability. District Vision and New Balance just launched the FuelCell SC Elite v4, a top-tier race day shoe with a monochrome palette and minimalist design. Advisory Board Crystals and Merrell’s reinforced Hydro Moc Strap combines original design with retro and futuristic elements. And Vivobarefoot just collaborated with Timbaland on the Motus Strength shoe, limited to 2,000 pairs, which blends natural movement with high-intensity training features and comes hand-signed by Timbaland on each shoe. Each of these collaborations leverages the best of their partners to create shoes that look great, perform incredible, and have their own story to tell.
District Vision’s collaboration with New Balance focuses on a monochrome palette and minimalist design, highlighting the high-performance FuelCell SC Elite v4, a top-tier race day shoe. The model combines propulsive FuelCell technology with a thin carbon fiber plate for superior energy return in a lightweight package. It features a translucent mesh upper, co-branded tongue label and sockliner, and branded wordmark on the exterior heel counter. Energy Arc technology combines a sport-specific carbon fiber plate shape with strategic midsole voids to increase stored energy and deliver higher energy return, complemented by a rocker profile for a smooth transition.
Advisory Board Crystals and Merrell teamed up to enhance the Hydro Moc Strap, staying true to the original design philosophy while incorporating new elements like pull tabs and holographic authenticity patches. The upgraded Hydro Moc features a magnetic adjustable strap and old-school foam padding for a sleek design that seamlessly blends future and vintage aesthetics. The water-friendly EVA foam upper provides a lightweight, flexible fit and is easy to clean, while BLOOM® performance foam, made from algae biomass, transforms lush water into clean water. Perfect for recovery, wading, or strolling around town.
Vivobarefoot and Timbaland have teamed up to create a limited edition of Vivobarefoot’s Motus Strength shoes. Only 2,000 pairs are available. Designed to promote natural movement during high-intensity training, each shoe is hand-signed by Timbaland. Timbaland credits the shoes with improving his health. The campaign includes a new song, a film, and a Movement Fundamentals VivoHealth course, free with every purchase. Plus, one lucky winner will spend the day with Timbaland. Combining music and natural health, the partnership promotes a lifestyle that harmonizes artistic expression and wellness, reflecting Timbaland’s philosophy of simplicity and connection to nature.
