A good collaboration is always guaranteed to get attention. Two brands coming together to showcase their respective design ideas with one collection, more often than not, results in something you never might have seen from either brand otherwise. Sometimes they sell out immediatley and fetch tons of money on the market. Other times they become coveted pieces for core fans of each brand, but they certainly get people talking.
This week of style releases is highighted by numerous collaborations including a massive capsule from MR PORTER with various Japanese designers, the latest offering from Supreme and Vans, new looks from Undefeated and Adidas, the most recent work between Opening Ceremony and Columbia, and more.
Check out a detailed breakdown of all of this week's major drops below.
