Announced yesterday on Instagram, the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat will release a new 18-color screen-print of the artist’s 1982-83 painting Boxer Rebellion, published by Flatiron Editions. The limited-to-60, 29-x-39-1/2-inch print will be sold exclusively through Pace Prints, starting on Wednesday, September 26 at 12 p.m. EDT.  Orders will only be accepted by email at basquiat@paceprints.com, with the ‘winners’ chosen at random. And before you open up a new email, pricing will be tiered, starting at $35,000 USD.

Back in January of this year, COMME des GARÇONS Shirt debuted its Fall/Winter 2018 collection up on the runways of Paris Fashion Week, unveiling an eclectic lineup that assumed sophisticated poise in some ensembles, while others flaunted off-beat design accents. Part of the seasonal lineup is a capsule line dedicated to the late, great Jean-Michel Basquiat, with a choice selection of the artist’s printed works emblazoned on a set of shirts.

With the upcoming seasonal shift just a few mere weeks away, individual pieces from the themed range are now making their way to shop shelves, as can be seen in this herringbone collared shirt. A clean white base sets the stage for the graffiti artist’s Neo-Expressionist depiction found on the front and back with a navy felted wool-blend panel draped over the yoke region. Priced at $546 USD, you can find this new COMME des GARÇONS Shirt item now at Matchesfashion.com.

Following a major Jean-Michel Basquiat retrospective at London’s Barbican last September, the impressionist works of the late graffiti artist turned rock star painter continue to break news stories with premier auction house Phillips gearing up for a new sale of one of his most iconic pieces.

Titled Flexible, the approximately eight-foot-tall painting was made by Basquiat back in 1984 when he was only 23 years old. It will be up for auction for the first time in Phillips’ New York Evening Sale of 20th Century & Contemporary Art this May. Moreover, the painting was consigned directly from the artist’s estate and is expected to sell for over $20 million USD at the upcoming auction.

“Our father’s goal in forming and maintaining our brother’s estate was to educate the public about Jean-Michel as an artist and to ensure that his creative output remains available to them in perpetuity. The sale of this stunning work will help us continue our important mission of stewarding and preserving Jean-Michel’s legacy, as he now continues to inspire a new generation of artists three decades after his passing,” said Jeanine Basquiat and Lisane Basquiat, the artist’s sisters and managers of the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat.

FRESH KICKS: NIKE / JORDANS

There’s been no shortage of Air Force 1 models as of late, but Nike continues to find new outfits for the iconic silhouette, most recently gearing up for Halloween with a QS “Skeleton” colorway.

This thematic AF1 features a white leather upper with a ghost-like skeleton illustration in grey along the sides. A white cupsole is completed with what appears to be glow-in-the-dark outsole, while embroidered bones-style Nike insignia at the tongue tab rounds out the special edition design.

The Nike Air Force 1 QS “Skeleton” is scheduled to release in October on Nike’s web store and select retailers.

Following in the footsteps of the Jordan Apex-Utility model, Jordan Brand has now revealed another silhouette from its Flight Utility range: the Jordan Proto-React.

The new Proto-React silhouette debuts in a handful of colorways — ranging from white, metallic silver and neon-accented editions — and combines Nike React technology with Air Jordan 1 codes. The model features a Nike React technology midsole, adjustable heel straps for custom fit and Flight Utility graphic details on the tongue and heel tabs.

The Jordan Proto-React will release in 2019.

Back in July, we offered a first look at Jordan Brand‘s Air Jordan 5 Retro “Wings” edition, the latest Chicago-themed sneaker to join Michael Jordan‘s Wings Initiative collection. Now, we present official imagery of the unique colorway with prospective release info.

This special edition Air Jordan 5 features a white leather upper with an all-over print featuring illustrations of Chicago and its neighborhoods. Each shoe has a unique print, making every pair one-of-a-kind. Other details include glow-in-the-dark, mint green Wings lacelocks and side panels, a 3M reflective tongue tab, embroidered Jumpman logos, a special “Everyone Can Fly” label in the inner tongue, and an icy outsole.

It’s reported that the Air Jordan 5 Retro”Wings” will be releasing sometime in October for $200 USD in very limited quantities at Nike’s web store.

Nike‘s recent push for Air Force 1 models isn’t halting at the NBA-assisted Miami Heat and LA Lakers editions. This time, the Swoosh gives its iconic low-top a glow-in-the-dark upgrade and design revamp, resulting in a new model dubbed the Air Force 1 Utility QS.

The debut Air Force 1 Utility QS colorway comes bearing a white leather upper with black canvas buckled straps in place of the original lacing system. The midfoot strap is emblazoned with a large white Swoosh while more contrast black canvas appears at the mesh branded tongue tab and D-ring heel pull tab to complete the military look. All of this sits atop a full-length glow-in-the-dark sole unit, which appears milky, off-white in normal light and turns to bright green in the dark.

Stay tuned for the official release date of the Nike Air Force 1 Utility QS, which is slated to release in the near future at Nike’s web store.
