The Whitaker Group have had an elite year so far, and that\u2019s a surprise \u2013 only because we didn\u2019t think they could top 2025\u2019s barrage of bangers! Already we\u2019ve heard that A Ma Mani\u00e9re are set to launch a smorgasbord of Air Force 1s, and we\u2019ve seen the continuation of the adidas \u2018Do Not Duplicate\u2019 series. What\u2019s interesting about the latter initiative with Team Trefoil is the way it pushes the boundaries by actually reworking existing silhouettes \u2013 not just applying a new colourway. A perfect example is the latest linkup with APB, which provides a two-stack of Powerphases for Go Skate Day.<\/p>\n
The Powerphase is an 80s cross-trainer, but APB have turned it into a design they\u2019ve dubbed the \u2018Puff\u2019, which perfectly exudes 2010s skate vibes. The upper is completely inflated, especially within the tongue, which bulges out of the collar and is complemented by wide laces. In terms of materials, mesh dominates the midfoot, while opulent suede hits the rear and toe. Completing each colourway \u2013 tonal brown and tonal grey \u2013 are the metal \u2018Do Not Duplicate\u2019 swing tags.<\/p>\n
Inspiring this project are the future and past \u2013 APB remember the legendary skaters of yesteryear, but are equally excited by the new talent coming up. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Whitaker Group have had an elite year so far, and that\u2019s a surprise \u2013 only because we…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37970,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21254],"tags":[21290,33824,33885,23967,33882,33883,4402,33884,33886,33887],"class_list":["post-37969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-adidas","tag-adidas","tag-apb","tag-buy","tag-information","tag-new-skate-shoes-2026","tag-powerphase","tag-price","tag-puff-pack","tag-release-date","tag-skate-shoes-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37969"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37969\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
