Microsoft’s annual holiday sweater release has arrived, and this year they’ve thrown caution to the wind by creating three sweaters commemorating the good, terrible, and ugly of Microsoft history. Each of them is essentially a wearable essay on the company’s greatest achievements and mistakes, a jumble of software flaws, faded content that no one remembers, and console releases that changed everything, for better or worse.
Gustavo Bonzanini has made a name for himself turning everyday shoes into wearable art. His latest project takes the classic Nike Air Max 90s and rebuilds them around the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Released to celebrate the console’s 35th anniversary, these sneakers do more than just nod to the past. They play actual games from that era, right from your feet. Bonzanini calls them AIR SNES, a pair that combines the comfort of a classic running shoe with the thrill of 16-bit adventures.
Apple has just introduced a new way to carry an iPhone, and it comes from an unexpected source. The company collaborated with Japanese fashion house Issey Miyake to design the iPhone Pocket, a flexible knitted pouch that fits over the phone like a sleeve. This attachment, available beginning Friday, November 14, transforms the smartphone into something you can wear rather than stuff in your jeans pocket.
Microsoft’s latest move pulls one of its oldest visual hits straight from the screen and onto your feet. These Crocs, built around the Windows XP Bliss wallpaper, hit the company’s online store this week at $79.95 a pair. The bundle packs in more than just shoes—there’s a drawstring backpack patterned after that same famous hill and sky, plus a set of six charms that clip onto the clogs and summon up chunks of early computing life.
Bambu Lab and Presq have teamed up to bring something new to the world of footwear: shoes you can print at home, customize to your heart’s content and wear with pride. This initiative is about giving the tools of creation to anyone with a 3D printer and a spark of imagination. Their first offering, the Fig.(0), is a slip-on clog, and the start of a monthly series of designs that will change how we think about what we put on our feet.

Google Labs’ Doppl is a new AI-powered app that lets you virtually try on outfits from nearly any source. Available now on iOS and Android in the U.S., this standalone mobile tool builds on Google’s earlier virtual try-on features, but it can turn static images into animated previews of you strutting in your chosen threads.
Mark Zuckerberg took the stage today to unveil the Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses, an interesting collaboration between Meta and Oakley that just makes sense.
