LISA is the ultimate multi-hyphenate: rapper, singer, dancer, actress, and style icon. At 14, LALISA MANOBAL, won the YG Entertainment audition and left her home in Thailand to train as a K-pop artist. By 2026, LISA of Blackpink has solidified her evolution from K-pop sensation to Nike partner, and global superstar – living out her ultimate dream, having achieved her moonshot.
The legendary Moon Shoe was Nike’s original moonshot. Born out of an idea in co-founder, Bill Boweman’s kitchen, the Moon Shoe experiment cemented Nike’s reputation as an innovator and gave rise to the company’s first major footwear breakthroughs. It helped deliver the blueprint for Nike’s approach and long-term success: experiment boldly, keep refining, and never stop pushing forward – much like LISA.
This fall, Nike Sportswear celebrates LISA’s meteoric journey in a campaign showcasing the global icon wearing the sleek and fashion-forward Moon Shoe silhouette. LISA reaches the greatest of heights, leaving her shoe print on the moon, planting the Nike Sportswear (NSW) flag, and standing atop a lunar podium. The striking visuals are set to “Mister Magic Moon,” a track released in 1964 by The Kim Sisters (with Joe Tanner’s Orchestra) – the first globally successful K-Pop group, long before the term existed. It’s a full circle moment as the campaign honors the past, while showcasing the future, much like the Moon Shoe itself.
The Nike Sportswear Moon Shoe is available now in new seasonal colorways on Nike.com and at select Nike and partner retail locations globally.

PUMA Southeast Asia is bringing the energy of the Singapore Night Race to the Philippines with the exclusive McLaren Mastercard F1 Lifestyle Collection. The three-piece capsule transforms McLaren Formula 1 Team heritage into elevated everyday streetwear inspired by one of Formula 1’s most iconic races
.The PUMA McLaren Mastercard F1 Lifestyle Collection includes the cropped jersey (PHP 3,400), the unisex jersey (PHP 4,000), and the varsity jacket (PHP 8,200).
Reimagining the Racing Aesthetic
Stepping away from the team’s signature Papaya color, the collection embraces a crisp white-and-navy blue palette, inspired by the electric lights of the Singapore Night Race. This high-contrast colorway delivers a fresh, versatile look designed for everyday wear. The collection integrates traditional Southeast Asian weave patterns into the modern streetwear silhouettes.
The design direction reflects PUMA Southeast Asia’s goal of creating a collection that feels distinctly regional while remaining true to McLaren’s identity. “We wanted to create something different with this collection – moving away from the Papaya that everyone knows them by but creating pieces in white and blue inspired by the glow of the Singapore Night Race,” said Gabriel Yap, Senior Director of Marketing at PUMA Southeast Asia. “These pieces go beyond traditional fanwear, becoming wardrobe staples designed for how we live and move through the day.”
Driven by F1’s Dynamic Duo
Adding a global dimension to the release, the collection is modeled after McLaren’s driver pairing, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. As two of Formula 1’s brightest young stars, Norris and Piastri represent how easily the capsule moves from motorsport-inspired statement pieces to effortless everyday looks. Showcasing the collection’s versatility, Piastri pairs the F1 Jacket with the Jersey, while Norris highlights the breathable F1 Team Jersey. Together, they highlight how the collection looks just as sharp on the global sports stage as it does in relaxed, off-track settings.
The McLaren Mastercard F1 Lifestyle Collection
Created for comfort and street-ready style, the three-piece capsule collection translates track heritage into versatile urban wear. The collection is anchored by the McLaren Mastercard F1 Team Jacket, a navy varsity piece featuring contrasting white sleeves and a bold ‘McLaren Formula 1 Team’ wordmark across the back.
Complementing the jacket are two distinct tops: the McLaren Mastercard F1 Cropped Jersey, featuring a tailored women’s fit finished with official team branding and a distinctive ‘SINGAPURA exclusive’ tag. The McLaren Mastercard F1 Team Jersey rounds out the lineup with a versatile unisex jersey that subtly integrates traditional regional weave patterns into its modern racing aesthetic.
The collection is now available via PUMA.com and select PUMA stores nationwide. Follow PUMA Philippines’ social media pages onFacebook, Instagram, and TikTok for the latest updates and releases.
Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces the launch of the 2026 Fall/Winter UNIQLO : C, the special line from renowned British fashion designer Clare Waight Keller. Created on the theme of “Precision of Softness,” this latest collection reimagines everyday essentials through refined proportions, tactile textures, and precise layering, bringing an urban sensibility to familiar pieces. Denim, wool, cashmere and corduroy are expressed through generous yet controlled volumes, while rich bordeaux and brown are balanced with charcoal and softer touches of lemon, blush pink and green, bringing subtle contrasts throughout the collection.
Clare Waight Keller said: “I think there is a real desire now for clothes that bring comfort and ease without losing their sense of character. For this collection, I wanted to give that softness greater definition, through proportion, texture and the way each piece moves on the body. Everything is very considered, from the warmth and tactile quality of the new fluffy cashmere to the unexpected lightness and fluidity of corduroy. It is about creating a sense of refinement you can feel, with clothes that have a strong point of view yet remain completely natural to wear.”
A new cashmere series conceived by Clare Waight Keller introduces long-pile fluffy knits that enhance the natural warmth and softness of the fiber. Exceptionally soft against the skin, their textured surface gives the pieces an immediate sense of refinement. Shallow V-neck styles, crew neck cardigans and turtleneck vests are presented in soft, muted shades of pink, lemon, oatmeal, charcoal grey and cream. Corduroy trousers made from a newly developed fabric create a light, fluid drape and are completed with a premium leather belt finished with a metal tip. Vibrant new shades of HEATTECH Cashmere Blend add color to layered Fall/Winter styles.
There was a time when TV night was an unmissable household activity, way before each person got their own screen on their phone, computer, or tablet. Watching TV meant gathering in the living room at the exact same hour, squeezing onto the same sofa, sharing a bowl of popcorn or chips, and experiencing every twist, turn, cliffhanger, and even commercial break together in real time.
In Filipino culture, entertainment has always been a collective experience. Whether it’s dissecting character motives, laughing over comical mishaps, or gasping at a jaw-dropping plot twist, reacting to a shocking scene alone doesn’t feel the same as experiencing it with family and friends. Watching together can turn ordinary television moments into an event.
Only a few series showcase the power of group viewing, like the House of the Dragon Season Three with its recent finale on HBO Max. The eight-episode season has expanded in scale – with massive battles, shifting loyalties, and epic dragon scenes, setting the stage for an epic finale.

Before Filipino superheroes became fixtures on television, film, and digital platforms, their stories first came alive in the vibrant world of komiks.
This September, SuperManila Comic Con 2026 pays tribute to that enduring legacy with two exclusive collector’s releases featuring landmark works by two of the country’s most celebrated creators.
Fans can look forward to Classic Darna #1, which brings back the earliest adventures of Mars Ravelo’s iconic heroine, and Kaluluwa ni Dante, one of the acclaimed masterpieces of National Artist Francisco V. Coching.
Available only during SuperManila Comic Con, both releases celebrate the artistry, imagination, and storytelling that helped shape Philippine popular culture.
Classic Darna #1 Brings a Filipino Icon Back to Her Roots
Few Filipino characters have achieved the cultural impact of Darna.
Created by legendary komiks writer Mars Ravelo, Darna made her debut in Pilipino Komiks in 1950 and quickly became a symbol of courage, heroism, and strength.
Now, collectors can return to the character’s earliest days through the Classic Darna #1 SuperManila Comic Con Exclusive.
The special release reprints stories from Darna’s original komiks appearances, including her first appearance and celebrated origin story. The stories feature illustrations by acclaimed Filipino artist Nestor Redondo, whose expressive and detailed artwork became closely associated with the heroine’s classic image.
For this exclusive release, internationally renowned artist Stanley “ARTGERM” Lau gives Darna a fresh visual showcase with special cover artwork created for both editions.
Two Limited Darna Editions for Collectors
The Classic Darna #1 release will be available in two strictly limited versions.
The Full-Color Virgin Cover Edition, priced at ₱1,000, is limited to 1,000 copies and presents the classic stories in vivid color.
Meanwhile, the Sepia Cover and Black-and-White Interior Edition, priced at ₱800, is also limited to 1,000 copies. Its sepia-toned ARTGERM cover and black-and-white interior evoke the traditional komiks experience familiar to generations of Filipino readers.
Adding even more collector appeal, every copy of both editions comes with an exclusive Darna trading card.
These editions do not present a new Darna adventure or modern retelling. Instead, they preserve and reintroduce the original material that helped establish the character as a Filipino pop culture legend.

Kaluluwa ni Dante Returns in a Rare Collector’s Edition
SuperManila Comic Con 2026 will also spotlight the extraordinary work of Francisco V. Coching, one of the most influential figures in Philippine comics.
Known as the “King of Komiks,” Coching built a remarkable body of work across four decades, creating dozens of serialized stories that combined dramatic storytelling with striking visual detail.
Among his most celebrated titles are Pedro Penduko, Hagibis, Sabas, ang Barbaro, El Indio, Lapu-Lapu, and Kaluluwa ni Dante.
First serialized in 1949, Kaluluwa ni Dante tells the story of Dante Magtanggol, who embarks on an extraordinary out-of-body journey under the guidance of the mysterious Dr. Futiphar.
Along the way, the story blends mystery, fantasy, adventure, romance, and moral conflict while exploring themes of justice, redemption, love, and the struggle between good and evil.
Coching’s cinematic compositions and richly rendered artwork helped make the story one of his standout works.
His influence would eventually reach far beyond the pages of komiks. Fifty-one of his 63 komiks novels were adapted into films, demonstrating the extraordinary reach of his storytelling across Philippine entertainment.
In 2014, Coching was posthumously named National Artist for Visual Arts, further cementing his place in the country’s cultural history.
Only 300 Copies of Kaluluwa ni Dante Will Be Available
For SuperManila Comic Con 2026, Kaluluwa ni Dante will be released as a special 116-page softcover edition.
The book retains its original black-and-white format, allowing readers to appreciate Coching’s detailed line work as it was originally presented.
Only 300 copies will be produced.
Priced at ₱1,000 per copy, the release is expected to be one of the convention’s most sought-after items among komiks collectors and fans of classic Filipino illustration.
Kaluluwa ni Dante By Francisco V. Coching 116-page softcover edition Original black-and-white format Limited to 300 copies ₱1,000 per copy
A Celebration of the Stories That Shaped Filipino Pop Culture
Together, Classic Darna #1 and Kaluluwa ni Dante highlight two distinct but equally important chapters in Philippine komiks history.
Darna represents one of the country’s most recognizable heroic figures, while Kaluluwa ni Dante showcases the storytelling mastery of one of Philippine comics’ greatest artists.
By bringing these works back into print as limited collector’s editions, SuperManila Comic Con gives both longtime enthusiasts and younger readers an opportunity to experience the creativity that defined a golden era of Filipino komiks.
The two releases will be available exclusively at the SMCC Merch Booth at The Concourse during SuperManila Comic Con 2026, happening September 4 to 6, 2026, at The Concourse and SPACE at One Ayala, Makati City.
With quantities strictly limited, collectors will want to secure their copies during the three-day event.

The Nike Pegasus Plus 2 embodies speed without sacrifice: a fast tempo trainer powered by a visible Air Zoom engine with responsive ZoomX foam designed to make each stride feel lighter, quicker and more alive.
Refined to reveal what matters most, the Pegasus Plus 2 introduces a system of speed runners can both see and feel, whether they’re logging daily miles, building through long runs or picking up the pace.
The next-generation Pegasus is designed for runners who want speed, longevity and versatility each time they lace up, tapping into race-day energy with a fast, powerful and smooth run that demands less and delivers more.
At the heart of the shoe is an exposed, curved Air Zoom unit in the forefoot, fundamentally changing how a Pegasus feels and performs. Paired with a light and bouncy ZoomX foam midsole, this system helps creates a smooth, propulsive ride that delivers at least 18 percent more energy return than the inaugural Pegasus Plus.
Inspired by the fast feel of Nike road racing footwear, the Pegasus Plus 2 delivers the smooth, powerful sensation of a supershoe without the plate, helping runners lock in from the moment they take off.
“Our goal was simple: speed without sacrifice,” says Deepa Ramprasad, senior director, Nike Running footwear. “We spent years obsessing every ingredient in this system. Nothing more and nothing less than what a runner needs to feel fast, comfortable and confident to push their pace. This is a revolution for the Pegasus franchise, bringing inspiration from race-day sensation into a daily trainer.”
The Pegasus Plus 2 is engineered to enable a smooth, comfortable and versatile ride, making it a go-to option for runners who want a shoe with range across run types. The curved Air Zoom unit helps ease each step into the next, creating a rhythm that feels natural and uninterrupted, with inner tensile fibers that act like preloaded springs to pump out more of the energy runners put in.
A fine-tuned MR10 2.0 last, first introduced in the Pegasus 42, provides a more accommodating forefoot and toe box, while the midfoot system helps keep the foot secure yet nimble for peak comfort. Elevated materials around the ankle, reflective elements, and a modern waffle outsole with innovative flex zones round out the design for an experience that feels light, smooth and more connected to the road.
“I love a run where I’m locked in but still enjoying every step,” says Cameron Myers, Nike athlete and world leader in the 1,500 meter. “That’s the feeling I get from this shoe. Easy, fast, smooth. It just flows.”
The Pegasus Plus 2 was tested by more than 30 elite Nike athletes across disciplines, from top marathoners to leading track and field icons. The Nike Sport Research Lab rigorously evaluated how runners move and feel to inform design and help deliver the best on-foot experience. The silhouette’s Air Zoom unit features precise pressure tuning, with construction adapted across sizes to help maximize energy return and deliver a consistent experience for all runners.
The Pegasus Plus 2 also represents the latest evolution of Nike’s longest-tenured and best-selling running shoe franchise of all time, which is one of three distinct categories comprising the brand’s road running footwear lineup. Pegasus carries forward a legacy of responsive cushioning for all-day energy return, while Vomero offers maximum cushioning for ultimate comfort and Structure provides supportive cushioning for a stable ride.
The introduction of the Pegasus Plus 2 — and the innovation at the heart of Nike’s entire road running footwear lineup — reflects Nike’s history as the brand built by runners, for runners, and its continued commitment to creating the most technologically advanced products to help all athletes, from the elite to the everyday, unlock their breakthrough and greatest speed potential.
The Nike Pegasus Plus 2 will be available from 1 October 2026 at nike.com and select retail locations.

PUMA opens a new chapter for the iconic Suede with the launch of the PUMA Suede Classic and PUMA Suede Bloom in the Philippines. Regardless of era, age, or trend, across countless scenes, styles, and subcultures, this launch celebrates the quality that made the shoe timeless in the first place: itself.
One Legacy, Many Cultures
Throughout its history, the PUMA Suede has been known by many names. It began in 1968 with the launch of the PUMA Crack for the Mexico City Olympics, where track and field athlete Tommie Smith cemented its legacy by raising it on the podium. The silhouette evolved in 1973 when NBA star Walt Frazier reimagined the design to create the PUMA Clyde, which was later renamed the PUMA Suede to highlight its signature upper material.
As B-boy crews and hip-hop culture exploded, the community adopted the shoe as part of their identity. They carried its influence all the way to the UK in the early 1990s, where it earned the name “States” to honor its overseas success. Shaped by decades of cultural influence, the PUMA Suede remains an undeniable icon of sports, music, and streetwear.
A Timeless Silhouette for Self-Expression
(L-R): PUMA Black-PUMA White, Haute Coffee-PUMA White, and Cayenne Pepper-PUMA White
Designed for everyday versatility, the PUMA Suede Classic is available in three distinct colorways: Haute Coffee-PUMA White, PUMA Black-PUMA White, and Cayenne Pepper-PUMA White. It features a premium full-suede upper, the iconic leather PUMA Formstrip, and a matching suede heel overlay. Crafted for daily wear, the durable suede develops character over time while maintaining its signature look and comfortable fit. Its low-profile rubber outsole provides reliable traction and stable footing, allowing users to move confidently from busy city streets to weekend hangouts with all-day comfort.
PUMA Suede Bloom
Reimagining the classic silhouette, the PUMA Suede Bloom introduces faux pearl-inspired detailing, bead-accented laces, and delicate feminine touches that bring a fresh interpretation to the iconic design. Inspired by the idea of blooming as both a seasonal shift and a form of personal expression, it encourages wearers to style the silhouette in their own unique way.
PUMA Black-Slate Sky, Misty Pink-Powder Pink, and Frosted Ivory-Silver Fog
Both silhouettes are grounded by a low-profile rubber outsole that provides excellent ground feel, reliable traction, and stable footing, ensuring lasting comfort from daily commutes to weekend outings.
Woven into local streets and communities across generations, the PUMA Suede stands as a symbol of effortless style and enduring relevance. For the Philippines, this launch is a call to keep experimenting, connecting, and soaking up the culture.
The PUMA Suede Classic and the Suede Bloom are both available for PHP 5,500. Grab yours today at PUMA.com, PUMA flagship stores nationwide, and select official retail partners. Follow PUMA Philippines’ official website and social media pages on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for exclusive drops and the latest updates.
