ACRONYM and ALIVEFORM announced the SILVER FANG colorway of THE BLADE on October 30, 2026. The shoe launches exclusively at GRAFT.PD's Pudong location in Shanghai as part of the brand's Open House event this November, with no stated date for release in any other market. THE BLADE is a 3D-printed, barefoot-construction silhouette built on ALIVEFORM's lattice technology, first released earlier this year and now on its third publicized colorway. The design references Tsui Hark's 1995 film The Blade. No US or European retail date has been announced.
This is early because the exclusivity window itself is the story: a Western techwear label routing its newest product drop through a single Shanghai retail partner before any other market sees it, reversing the usual sequence where Asian markets wait months behind US and European launches.
