A Bathing Ape’s BAPE STA is an enigma in the world of streetwear. The icon is lauded not for its originality, but the absolute opposite. It embodies the irreverent streetwear mentality, cutting and pasting one of Nike’s most famous designs and, somehow, getting away with it. Founded in 1993 by NIGO, A Bathing Ape is […]

In between overseeing Kanye’s merch, creative director Demna Gvasalia has apparently been masterminding post-hypebeast home goods, as evidenced by Balenciaga‘s newest Objects drop. Given the futuristic name, the Balenciaga Laser Cube, available on Balenciaga’s website for $650, is appreciably space-age in appearance. It’s a see-through box fitted with an optical illusion, an internal 3D image […]

BAPE and COMME des GARÇONS CDG, two behemoths of Japanese streetwear, are reuniting on another logo-heavy collaboration.

The pieces don’t differ much from BAPE x CDG’s previous […]

Brand: JJJJound x New Balance Model: 990v4 Release Date: TBC Price: TBC Buy: TBC What We’re Saying: It might be too soon to speak, but you could make an argument that New Balance has had the strongest release calendar of the year.

Brand: Nike Model: Air Jordan 1 “Patent Bred” Release Date: October 23 Price: $170 Buy: Nike SNKRS app Editor’s Notes: Debating the most iconic sneakers of all time could take you all day (or a lifetime) but predicting which silhouettes and colorways might make it into that debate may prove an easier task. For the well-versed sneakerhead, the Nike Air Jordan […]

We often speak about footwear essentials. Those pairs that every rotation should have. Often, these terms are used out of place, but when they’re used in connection to a pair of Vans, they’re always in the right place. Founded in 1966, Vans has not only become the final word in skateboarding but has also grown […]

Finally, Nast […]

Prolific sneaker customizer Dominic “The Shoe Surgeon” Ciambrone is capitalizing on DONDA fever with a spiky pair of YEEZY 700s inspired by the weapon-like, bear-fighting Balenciaga jacket Kanye West wore to his Atlanta listening party for the album. All-black from head to toe (or rather, laces to outsole), the 700s are studded with hefty silver spikes across the […]
