From Mercedes-Benz’s ‘80s-inspired G-Wagen and Jude Bellingham ’s custom Predators to Messi’s vibrant F50 tribute and Jacquemus’ bold take on Timberlands, this week’s round-up blends classic revival, football royalty, and high-fashion edge.
Retro Meets Rugged
Mercedes-Benz throws it back with the Stronger Than Time G-Class, channeling 1980s off-road grit with modern-day luxury. Designed to celebrate the legendary SUV’s heritage, this special edition packs a punch with retro-inspired square indicators, vintage badging, and rugged underpinnings, while still offering advanced tech and plush interiors. Available in shades like Arabian Grey and Agave Green, this nostalgic powerhouse is now up for grabs at Mercedes-Benz’s online.
Jude’s Game-Ready Boots
adidas just unveiled the Predator 24 Jude Bellingham edition—his first signature boots, loaded with personality and performance. Styled in regal navy, white, and gold with custom Jude details, the boots nod to England’s next-gen leader and midfield maestro. From Controlframe 2.0 outsoles to HybridTouch vamp, it’s all engineered for dominance. Fans can lace up like Jude now via adidas’ official store.
Messi’s Future Icons
To mark the return of the iconic F50 silo, adidas teams with Messi to spotlight football’s rising stars through ten vibrant boots. Each pair is dedicated to a future great—from Endrick to Lamine Yamal—and uses bold colors and personalized graphics to honor their journeys. Messi’s stamp on the future of football is literal and symbolic in this must-have pack, now available on adidas.com.
La Bateau
Timberland teams up with Parisian fashion house JACQUEMUS to reinvent the classic 3-Eye Lug Boat Shoe in a striking “banana yellow” hue. The La Bateau collaboration features premium leather, rugged soles, and signature co-branded details that bridge heritage and haute couture. Designed by Simon Porte Jacquemus, the shoes drop April 23 at Jacquemus, Timberland, and select global retailers—just in time for summer’s first sail.
