TOMS and AREA debut limited-edition collaboration. TOMS and AREA debut limited-edition collaboration coupling after-dark glamour with timeless design in New York on November 10, 2026. TOMS, the brand known for its cult-loved footwear, and AREA, the fashion brand balancing craft with culture, join forces for a limited-edition collaboration. Launching November 10, 2026, the collection brings together TOMS' laid-back heritage with AREA's glamorous, downtown aesthetic. Crystal embellishments, statement-making bows and sculptural accents inject a sense of occasion to TOMS' iconic silhouettes, creating effortless after-dark styles designed for holiday parties, nights out and everything that follows. The TOMS x AREA collection reimagines TOMS' Alpargata and ballet silhouettes with AREA's distinctive embellishment and elevated detailing. "We loved the idea of taking something as effortless and recognizable as a TOMS shoe and giving it the AREA treatment," said Nicholas Aburn, Creative Director of AREA. "It's that contrast between ease and extravagance that makes the collection so exciting." Highlights include the Classica Alpargata with an embellished slit in white and black, inspired by one of AREA's most popular denim silhouettes that have been seen on celebrities from Taylor Swift to Beyoncé. The assortment also includes two low-profile ballet flats, the first finished with embellished crystal shoelace bows drawn from AREA distinctive womenswear and a second with allover rhinestone detailing inspired by their Spring/Summer 2027 line. The final silhouette is a sculptural Alpargata that builds off of the voluminous folding seen across AREA collections. Together, the styles offer a fresh take on occasion footwear, pairing statement-making details with TOMS' effortless appeal. "The most exciting collaborations push familiar designs into unexpected territory," said Heather Altomare, SVP, Product at TOMS. "AREA's bold approach to embellishment and form gave our signature silhouettes an entirely new point of view, bringing together statement-making design and effortless comfort." Three styles from the collaboration debuted during AREA's Spring/Summer 2027 runway show at New York Fashion Week on September 13. The TOMS X AREA collection launches November 10, 2026 in the United States and across Europe. The collection is available to shop on TOMS.com, AREA.nyc and select retailers.

TOMS transforms its famous Alpargata into a tennis ball for a limited edition. * Published 28th August 2026 Mode et tendances Chaussures de sport TOMS is taking advantage of New York's big tennis week to unveil the Tennis Club Alpargata, a limited edition directly inspired by the yellow ball. Fluorescent felt, court blue details, and packaging shaped like a ball tube: the brand pushes the tennis-core concept to the smallest detail, while also associating the launch with the Black Girls Tennis Club organization. It's hard to find a more explicit reference to tennis. With its new Tennis Club Alpargata, TOMS transforms its famous slip-on into a true evocation of the ball used on the courts. The silhouette thus abandons its traditional materials in favor of a fluorescent yellow felt, chosen to reproduce both the color and texture of a new tennis ball. This limited edition arrives at a time when New York is experiencing one of the most important periods of its tennis calendar and fits perfectly into the tennis-core trend, which transposes court dress codes into everyday fashion. A tennis ball transformed into a shoe. Inspiration requires virtually no explanation. The entire upper is covered in fluorescent felt, its appearance immediately reminiscent of a tennis ball. Details created using heat-bonded strips complete the construction. Inside, TOMS continues the reference with a perforated blue leather insole, the shade of which is presented as a nod to the official blue of the courts. The Alpargata Tennis Club is therefore based on a deliberately simple visual idea: to make its inspiration identifiable at first glance. Two interpretations for the female and male models. TOMS does, however, offer some differences between the two versions of the collection. The women's version adds mesh side panels inspired by a tennis net. A series of embroidered players also appears on the side, depicted in the middle of a rally. These little characters bring movement to a shoe whose concept is based primarily on material and color. The men's version takes a more minimalist approach. It retains the fluorescent felt, the finishing strips and the blue insole, but does without the additional decorative elements of the women's version. Even the box looks like a tube of bullets. TOMS does not limit the concept to the shoe. Habillement Vêtements de sport For this special edition, the brand replaces the traditional box with collector's packaging inspired by the tubes in which tennis balls are sold. Each pair is thus presented in a cylindrical container which directly extends the visual identity of the product. Packaging thus becomes an integral part of the experience, rather than a simple container destined to be thrown away after purchase. TOMS is riding the tennis-core wave. This Alpargata Tennis Club is taking place in a particularly favorable context. For several seasons now, the aesthetics associated with tennis have extended far beyond the courts. Polo shirts, pleated skirts, retro sneakers and references to sports clubs have gradually become established in collections and on social media. Chaussures de sport Hypebeast presents this launch as a direct response from TOMS to this craze for tennis-core. The brand specifically mentions the significant visibility of this trend in the fashion press and on social media platforms. However, the provided text does not offer any precise data allowing for an independent assessment of its scope. With his literal interpretation of the yellow ball, TOMS chooses above all not to play the subtlety card. A partnership with Black Girls Tennis Club. The project also includes a community-based dimension. TOMS announces a partnership with Black Girls Tennis Club, a non-profit organization founded in 2022 whose mission, according to the presentation provided, is to develop access, representation and opportunities in tennis. As part of this collaboration, TOMS is sponsoring introductory sessions in Central Park, New York, aimed at helping local girls discover tennis and develop their confidence on the court. The launch thus goes beyond the mere aesthetic reference to sport to incorporate an action directly linked to its practice. TOMS also indicates that purchases made from the brand contribute to its support for children's education, health and well-being. Chaussures The TOMS Tennis Club Alpargata collection is announced for Thursday, August 27, exclusively on TOMS online sales channels and via TikTok Shop. Sales will continue while stocks last. No price is indicated in the provided text. With this edition, TOMS transforms one of its most recognizable models without altering its silhouette. A new fabric, a new color, and a few details are all it takes to transport the Alpargata into a whole new world. A yellow ball at his feet, literally. TOMS Tennis Club Alpargata - information.
