Nike Air Jordan: Here Are the Best Retailers for Shopping Michael Jordan’s Signature Sneakers Online

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Nike Air Jordans are, indisputably, the most iconic sneakers released over the last 40 years. The signature shoes are one of the few that managed to cross over from basketball to pop culture, music, and fashion since making their debut in stores circa 1985. In fact, the styles have become so successful for Nike that it spun them off into a dedicated product line called Jordan Brand. In recent history, Jordans also catapulted to fame as highly sought-after collectors’ items — with each new release being both limited-edition and rare. Once they’re sold out, they’re sold out, and this particularly applies to collaborations like Travis Scott x Air Jordan. Since stock is so restricted, finding authentic and vintage Nike Air Jordan sneakers is far from a walk in the park, especially if you’re trying to hunt them d...

Solly McLeod Is Feeling the Magic

“ I can talk about being the bad guy,” says Solly McLeod. “I’ve played a few.” Although no stranger to the villain arc early in his career, the charming British actor defies the typecast offscreen — and perhaps it’s the unexpectedness that makes him an alluring antagonist onscreen.  ”You always wanna try and [find the humanity] in every character,” McLeod says. “If people are watching the film going, ‘I hated you — but I kind of got it,’ I feel like you’ve done a good job.” He’s hopeful that viewers will join him in finding empathy for his latest role, the mysterious Tom Lockland in “Practical Magic 2.” Without delving into spoilers, it’s fair to say that the men are not the heroes of the female-led “Practical Magic” universe. “ Me, Xolo [Maridueña] and Lee [Pace] were the three lads in the movie,” McLeod says. “We kind of all knew what happens to the men in this world, so we were ready...

The Most Comfortable Shoes for Women, From Cushioned Road-Running Sneakers to Orthopedic Mary Janes

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. To this day, truly comfortable shoes for women are harder to come by than you think. While many designer labels pride themselves on the excellence of their craftsmanship, more often than not, they end up skimping on true orthopedic comfort in favor of chic, trend-aware looks. But female customers are finally starting to demand more from their sneakers, flats, sandals, and boots when it comes to wearability, so our editors have looked far and wide to round up the eight best women’s comfort shoes spanning those exact categories. Oftentimes, comfort means responsive cushioning that won’t burden you as you’re working towards a step goal, or else a targeted stability system for redistributing the weight of your feet to get them into proper alignment. The most comfortable walking shoes, office shoes, or everyday shoes can als...

Celine Dion’s style streak in Paris got the Spanish luxury treatment. The singer stepped out on Tuesday sporting a playful, contemporary take on the little black dress by Loewe. The “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” singer wore a look from creative directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez’s fall 2026 ready-to-wear collection.

From Brooks to Nike to Adidas, We’ve Identified the Best Road-Running Shoes of 2026

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Simply put, road running involves running on paved surfaces like streets, sidewalks, and roads, typically over long distances ranging from a 5K to a full marathon. If you’re a runner, you’re likely practicing in just those types of settings (with the alternative being trail running), which means you need a sneaker that can complement your pace, stride, and unique foot geometry — helping you rack up those miles with some PR wins along the way. Honing in on the best road-running shoes is no small task, seeing as how the most popular running brands of today’s day are largely specializing in this category. That being said, we’re no strangers to the space, having tested everything from cross-training shoes to running shoes for flat feet, and can point you to an ideal pair that will only make your performan...

The ‘Practical Magic 2’ Women Cast a Style Spell at the Los Angeles Premiere

The cast of “Practical Magic 2” continued their witchy style streak at the film’s Los Angeles premiere held at the Directors Village on Monday night. Nicole Kidman debuted couturier Pieter Mulier’s inaugural design for Atelier Versace, Sandra Bullock opted for Louis Vuitton and more designer pieces hit the event. Mulier, who left AlaĂ¯a for Versace in January 2026, created a dress for Kidman that merged the method dressing witchy style cues of her previous looks for the film, and also teased his vision for the Italian luxury fashion house.

The 9 Best Anti-Aging Serums for Women, According to Dermatologists

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but, as we get older, our faces begin ratting us out for all those days spent in the sun without proper SPF coverage… as well as all those late nights after which we were too tired and lazy to properly strip the “noise” away with a cleanser or a simple makeup wipe. Thankfully, the best serums for aging skin are up for the task of remedying problems like wrinkles, dullness, and dark spots, bringing women one step closer to absolving themselves of past skin sins. “Anti-aging serums for the face can help hydrate, protect, plump, brighten, and even exfoliate. It’s important to choose a serum that’s right for your skin, as your best friend’s favorite serum may not be right for you,” Dr. Joshua Zeichner, Director of Cosmetic & Clinical Research in Dermatology at Mou...

We Found the Best Support Sneakers for Knee Pain That Look Anything But Orthopedic

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Aging, overuse, underlying conditions, and injuries can all cause knee pain: commonly accompanied by symptoms like swelling, instability, stiffness, a “locked” sensation, and limited range of motion. If you know what we’re talking about all too well (and are all too familiar with ThermaCare’s knee wraps), it’s fine time to reconsider the types of shoes you’re wearing while walking, exercising, or simply going about your day. Depending on the severity of said knee and joint pain, surgery or at least physical therapy might be a necessary step to take for the sake of your long-term health. However, switching out your ratty, unsupportive pair of steppers can also provide oftentimes-instant relief and supplement the other pain management methods you’re currently engaging in. The best shoes for knee ...

The Best Women’s Cross-Training Shoes to Wear to the Gym

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Cross-training — certainly a hot buzzword right now — means combining multiple forms of exercise to help develop a specific component of fitness, depending on your wellness objectives. This mode of working out aims to reduce the risk of injury, challenges your endurance, and improves overall physical and mental health. CrossFit is one of the most popular types of cross-training globally, but it could also involve a hybrid of cardio, strength training, and flexibility exercises. While your gym’s weight racks and machines may look intimidating at first, the rewards of cross-training are many, and there’s never a bad time to start. With that, the shoes you’re wearing for the workouts in question should be given as much thought as the routine itself. Whether you’re engaging in treadmill work or alternat...

Jack Innanen’s Journey to Adulthood

Jack Innanen is doing a lot of reminiscing these days. He’s recently moved near where he lived when he first arrived in New York, and as he walks through the neighborhood now he can’t help but flash back to those early days, as harsh (and cold) as they were. “My buddy and I moved down and we put some money together and we were like, ‘dude, we’re going to be balling out.’ We had a good budget. And we had the tiniest, s—tiest little apartment,” Innanen says. “It had an active gas leak that we lived in for a month and a half, and then we got the firemen to come and turn it off once they confirmed that it was an active gas leak. And then we didn’t have gas for four months, and so we didn’t have heat, hot water and we couldn’t use the stove from October through January.” It’s an appropriately brutal experience of being in your early 20s and trying to make it in New York, one that Innanen taps into to play Paul Baker, the fan-favorit...

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. While back-to-school shopping is typically associated with elementary, middle, and even high school students, it’s of utmost importance to stock up on essentials for classes when you are in college, too, while refreshing your wardrobe to reflect the shifting trends and seasons.

Maia Reficco Is Finding Her Way, One Part at a Time

If it wasn’t for the yerba mate steaming up in front of her, Maia Reficco might easily lose track of which city she’s in. “I did five cities in five countries in five days,” she says. “I was in Monaco, Spain, New York, Mexico City and Buenos Aires, all in five days.”  Now back home in Buenos Aires, where she’s stuck to living despite career pressures to move to the U.S., the Argentine actress and singer is more than happy with her busy schedule if it means getting to pursue both of her loves.

True Fit Introduces Fit Intelligence Layer for Agentic Commerce

In fashion’s race toward agentic commerce, the industry has quickly discovered that intelligence alone isn’t enough.

Nike’s Website Is a Treasure Trove of the Best Bodysuits for Women — Shop These 6 Editor-Loved Picks

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. It’s common knowledge that the best bodysuits for women are wordrobe workhorses of sorts: creating the ideal base for colder days, being a match made in heaven for those jeans that fit you just right, and specializing in comfort without ever skimping on style (dressing bodysuits up with jewelry or a sleek leather jacket is advisable). That being said, shopping for a bodysuit online that will suit, pardon our pun, your needs (and body type, and preferred coverage amount) can be risky business. Retailers like Amazon are known to sell and heavily promote lower-quality goods in that category, while other brands’ bodysuit options might only look good on that AI model and not you, if you catch our drift. This is where Nike, out of all companies, comes in to steal the show. Peel back the layers of its buzzy Jordan relea...

The Best Long-Distance Walking Shoes (and Why They’re Better Than Running Shoes)

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Walking might be the most widespread form of exercise, but, like with any fitness activity, your gear matters. Even though you can (and do) walk in all shoes, tackling long-distance jaunts for the purpose of breaking a sweat requires proper footwear. Luckily, there are plenty of impressive, purpose-built walking shoes on the market. Something that might surprise you? The best long-distance walking shoes are different than the running shoes many people lace up before a long stroll.  Running shoes are built for impact absorption at a higher speed and cadence, often being equipped with more responsive (bouncy) midsole foam and a higher heel stack that could actually cause discomfort and instability during long walks. Long-distance walking shoes, by contrast, prioritize cushioning under the heel and flexibility at th...

Why Everyone Is Obsessed With This $35 Shirt Dress That Keeps Selling Out
