India-headquartered consumer technology brand CMF and homegrown, storytelling-driven sneaker brand Gully Labs have announced the final release of their collaborative footwear project, the CMF x Gully Labs Xoloni Orange sneaker.
The exclusive drop is scheduled to take place at the Nothing Store in Bengaluru on May 30, 2026, at 7:00 PM IST.
The release marks the conclusion of a unique partnership that bridged the gap between industrial technology design and street culture, with only a limited number of pairs available for this final retail window.
A Community-Driven Design Journey
The collaboration originated from #DesignCMFKicks, a nationwide design challenge that tasked India’s emerging creators with reinterpreting Gully Labs’ signature GL001 silhouette. Participants were asked to incorporate the distinctive colors, textures, and industrial design philosophy of the CMF Phone 2 Pro.
The initiative drew over 1,000 entries from across the country, transitioning the project from a standard brand partnership into a participatory co-creation exercise. Following a process of community voting and jury evaluation, the winning concept by Dhreetimaan Sarmah of Dhemaji, Assam, was selected.
The Xoloni Orange sneaker was subsequently developed over a nine-month period through a close collaboration between the designer, CMF, and Gully Labs. The final product reflects a shared philosophy between both brands: that design gains greater value when it is accessible, participatory, and shaped directly by the community.
Exclusive Drop Incentives
As an added component to this final release, every successful purchase of the Xoloni Orange sneaker at the Bengaluru event will include an authentic Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) jersey signed by the players. This inclusion marks Nothing’s role as the title sponsor of RCB during the 2026 T20 cricket season, connecting the product launch with local sports culture.
This exclusive drop gives the community a last opportunity to own one of the most exclusive and distinctive creator-led collaborations to emerge at the intersection of technology, design, and culture.
