Premium blank apparel manufacturer Next Level Apparel, a family-owned company recognized for its ethically sourced wholesale products, has been selected as the official apparel partner for the Got Sole 2026 U.S. tour. The partnership highlights the brand's continued presence within the streetwear and pop culture industries, where individuality, customization, and creative expression play a central role.

Over the years, the Got Sole festival series has established itself as one of the leading live marketplaces in the international sneaker community, attracting thousands of collectors, artists, retailers, and enthusiasts. The events showcase a broad range of interests, including sneakers, streetwear, trading cards, vintage fashion, and luxury merchandise. Expanding from a single event into a multi-city and international experience—with stops in cities such as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Miami—Got Sole has evolved into a dynamic hub where commerce, fashion, and culture intersect.

This cultural landscape aligns closely with Next Level Apparel's brand identity. The company has built its reputation on producing premium-quality blank garments with strong ethical sourcing practices and superior printability, making its apparel a preferred foundation for designers, decorators, and creators who view quality as the starting point for artistic customization.

The collaboration also extends Next Level Apparel's relationship with graffiti and pop artist Kever Ones (Gene Michael), originally from Brooklyn and now based in South Florida. Earlier this year, the artist collaborated with the brand on a mural project in Florida that showcased his signature fusion of graffiti aesthetics and pop art influences. For the Got Sole 2026 tour, that artistic vision has been reimagined into a series of limited-edition sneaker boxes featuring exclusive designs tailored to each tour destination. Each box will include Next Level Apparel's 7200 Heavyweight T-Shirts, selected for their premium construction, relaxed streetwear-inspired silhouette, and everyday comfort, reflecting the growing popularity of oversized fashion trends.

Produced in collaboration with Hittn' Skins, the exclusive sneaker boxes will be available in limited quantities at tour stops in Chicago on July 25, Los Angeles on September 19, and Miami on October 24. The collection aims to provide attendees with a tangible representation of the creativity and culture that define the Got Sole experience.

"Next Level Apparel represents the convergence of craftsmanship, quality, and creative expression," said Etienne Houseknecht, Head of Marketing at Next Level Apparel. "Got Sole serves as a vibrant marketplace driven by customization and culture, where sneakers and streetwear are continually transformed and reimagined by the community. Our apparel already serves as the foundation for much of that creativity, and this partnership allows us to bring that connection directly to fans and creators attending the events."

Jonathan DiModica, Founder and CEO of Got Sole, emphasized the community-driven nature of the festival. "Got Sole has always celebrated the collectors, creators, and communities that shape this culture," he said. "Partnering with Next Level Apparel for our 2026 tour enables us to showcase that spirit through unique products and storytelling experiences that capture the energy and authenticity of every event."

method® is returning to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival for its third consecutive year as the official sponsor of body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. In 2026, the brand is expanding its footprint with four immersive, multisensory activations across both the Main Grounds and Campgrounds. These experiences are designed to elevate everyday festival routines—like showering, getting ready, and taking breaks—into intentional moments that inspire joy, boost confidence, and encourage self-expression.

While festivals are meant to be vibrant and engaging, it can be challenging to stay fully present. Routine reset moments are often rushed and purely functional, interrupting the experience. This year, method is reimagining those pauses as immersive rituals that help attendees recharge, reconnect, and return to the festivities feeling refreshed, confident, and ready for more.

Main Grounds Experience
At the Main Grounds, method introduces interactive “portals” inspired by the sensory elements of its personal care products. Through scent, color, and sound, each portal transforms daily routines into memorable experiences, with complimentary samples available at the transformation portal.

Campgrounds Activation
method also brings its signature reset experience to the Campgrounds, turning everyday routines into refreshing rituals before and after each festival day. Attendees can explore a variety of product scents—including pure peace, simply nourish, island mist, mindful matcha, and sea + surf—while enjoying convenient, on-the-go refresh options.

Key highlights include:
