Alani Figueroa AKA @wuzg00d Reps For The Opinionated Female Sneakerhead

Let us take a moment to shine a light on BET’s “Colorways & Toe Boxes,” a YouTube series hosted by Mouse Jones, Rich Lopez and Brooklyn-born Alani Figueroa, who’s known for her legit appreciation for sneaker culture reflected by an eye-popping, ‘fit-filled Instagram feed.

Given sneaker culture’s propensity for anointing pretty-yet-silent “it” girls, it’s refreshing to see BET select a host who not only has opinions but absolutely knows what she’s talking about.

Launched in November 2018, the series comments on silhouettes and news stories generating buzz in sneaker culture. The series also includes guests and has a “cop or flop” segment examining recent drops.

The first season of the show included nine episodes and is currently taking a break between seasons. Unfortunately there is no firm date on when it will return. On Instagram, Figueroa commented, “we wrapped season 1 last week so we’re on a small break until further notice :(”

In the latest episode, the crew discuss their views on Adidas and Pharrell‘s Chinese New Year sneakers, Virgil Abloh‘s debut sneakers designs for Louis Vuitton and Adidas’ decision to include and all-white Boost in a Black History Month pack.

The latest series also references Figuero’s longstanding dislike of Nike‘s Air Foamposite silhouette (which we share!) and her ongoing attempts to make them work with her famed ‘fits.

Check out the latest episode below.

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
