"We've seen everything from modular designs that let you swap parts to AI-generated slides that look like they're from another planet. The month delivered collaborations that actually make sense, sustainability efforts that don't sacrifice style, and some genuinely clever solutions to everyday problems. What's really exciting is how diverse these releases have been. Whether you're into high-tech performance gear, pop culture collaborations, or just want something that'll last longer than usual, September had something special."
"Abhishek Mistry absolutely nailed the CMF aesthetic with this concept sneaker. The neon orange colorway screams Nothing's brand identity, but it's the clever details that really make it shine. Instead of regular laces, there's a BOA system with a knob that looks exactly like the ones on CMF phones and earbuds. The modular heel counter is basically the phone's swappable backplate idea translated perfectly into footwear form."
"The BOA system is genuinely brilliant. You just twist the knob to tighten or loosen the shoes with one hand. No more fumbling with laces when you're in a hurry, and definitely no velcro making that awful ripping sound. The modular elements mean you could theoretically customize or replace parts, which fits perfectly with CMF's whole interactive design philosophy. It feels like wearing the brand's ecosystem on your feet."
September delivered inventive footwear across modular systems, AI-generated aesthetics, purposeful collaborations, and sustainable solutions that retain style. The releases covered high-tech performance gear, pop-culture collaborations, and durable everyday options, demonstrating both experimentation and wearability. The CMF Modular Sneaker Concept pairs a neon orange CMF aesthetic with a BOA closure knob echoing CMF devices and a modular heel counter inspired by swappable phone backplates. One-handed BOA tightening removes lace fumbling and enables modular customization, though the added complexity could raise costs and a single colorway limits broader style appeal.
