On 21 August 2025, Chamber became ground zero for a collision of worlds, where Skinarma’s future-forward fashion-tech met Machine56’s cult cyber-mech aesthetic. The collection is a bold hybrid of function and fantasy. Skinarma’s tech-driven lifestyle accessories have been reimagined through Machine56’s signature design language, producing pieces that look just as ready for the neon-lit backstreets of urban cityscapes as they do for daily commutes. Highlights included exclusive variants of Machine56’s coveted racing jacket and wearable art helmet, each stamped with distinct collab logotypes that made them instant collector’s items, to everyday useable pieces like mobile phone accessories and bags.

Say hello to HALO, Under Armour’s latest innovation in performance footwear that brings style, substance, and comfort into perfect alignment. Designed for everyday athletes, weekend warriors, and everyone in between, the UA HALO Racer and Runner introduce a new era of movement-focused design that doesn’t just look fast, it feels fast too, no matter your pace. The HALO collection is built around a new design language centred on balance, symmetry, and harmony. That might sound abstract, but in action, it means shoes that feel stable, supportive, and smooth with every step. A noticeable design feature is Under Armour’s double-arch logo integrated directly into the midsole structure. This unique structural design works in tandem with the midsole cushioning to guide your stride and keep your foot aligned as you move. Underfoot, UA’s HOVR+ cushioning takes centre stage. This updated foam formula is lightweight yet responsive, delivering that sweet spot of softness and energy return that provides maximum support and cushioning regardless of your mileage. A TPU spring plate adds a touch of snap to your toe-off, while the durable rubber outsole keeps things steady on the road. These shoes are ready to go with you on your easy morning jogs or weekly training runs. So, what footwear offerings make up the HALO collection? First up is the HALO Racer - built for speed and precision. It’s the snappier model of the two running shoes, and comes in at 343 grams with a 5mm drop. It 's ideal for those who enjoy tempo runs, interval sessions, or just want something punchy for everyday miles. The fit is streamlined, the ride is responsive, and the HOVR+ cushioning plus TPU Spring Plate gives just the right amount of pop during push off. Perfect for runners who like to feel quick on their feet, but still want something responsive enough for daily wear. The HALO Runner, meanwhile, leans into everyday comfort and stability in a 298 gram package with a 5mm drop. This is the pair you grab when you want to feel locked in and supported, whether you're going the distance or clocking your steps throughout the day. It still uses the same HOVR+ foam, but the underfoot feel is more cushioned, and the fit is slightly more relaxed. If you’re after versatility, this is your go-to shoe. Both running models feature breathable mesh uppers that keep things cool, in our warm climate. The Dynamic Fit system hugs the foot just right without feeling restrictive. And with the durable traction pattern on the outsole, it gives you the right amount of traction on your runs. Then there’s the HALO Trainer - a cross-training shoe built for sweat, grind, and everything in between. HOVR foam underfoot for bounce, the double-arc logo doubling as structure, and a seamless upper that hugs like a second skin. It’s made for gym heads and class junkies to push through those last reps, yet versatile enough for light recovery sessions.  This collection also debuts alongside Under Armour’s latest campaign, “I Run, But I’m Not A Runner.”  It’s a simple but powerful message that relates to all profiles of runners. Not everyone who runs feels the need to label themselves as a runner. You don’t have to join a crew, chase a personal best, or track every step on a smartwatch. You just need a reason to move. And if that reason is to clear your head, explore your neighbourhood, or feel good for 20 minutes, that’s more than enough. The UA HALO is here for people who run on their own terms. No pressure, no performance metrics, just shoes that make movement feel good. The Lowdown Under Armour’s HALO collection offers the latest cutting-edge design from the brand. And are the kind of gear that adapts to one’s lifestyle, fast when you want them to be, cushioned when you need support, and versatile enough for anything in between. Whether you're chasing peace of mind or pace, the UA HALO running shoes deliver a perfect companion for you to move at your own stride. You don’t need to call yourself a runner to enjoy running. Just lace up and go. The UA HALO collection is available   online  and at all Under Armour Brand Houses.
