NEW STREETWEAR:

To mark Gucci Mane and Young Jeezy‘s VERZUZ Battle, Travis Scott has released a special Cactus Jack T-shirt.

Available in black and white, the “CACTUS JACK FOR VERZUZ – TM:1017” T-shirt marks the event with the rapper’s signature iced out pendants emblazoned on the front. Screenprinted front and back, the heavyweight tee is washed and treated for a distinct look. Additionally, aside from the usual Small, Medium, Large, XL and 2X sizes, Travis has also prepared a “2005 ONE SIZE TALL TEE” option to celebrate the era of early 2000’s rap.

Priced at $48 USD, the “CACTUS JACK FOR VERZUZ – TM:1017” T-shirt for Gucci Mane and Young Jeezy’s VERZUZ Battle is available now on Travis Scott’s website.In Nike Sportswear‘s Air Max cannon, few models are as exalted as the Air Max 95“Neon” — a seminal Sergio Lozano design from 1995 that’s now serving as inspiration for a brand-new silhouette dubbed the Air Max 95 NDSTRKT “Neon.” Borrowing the colors and human anatomy-inspired build of its famous forefather, the NDSTRKT uses layered details, sturdy materials and design cues from Nike classics for a look that’s simultaneously fresh and familiar. 

Uppers feature a black base made of tightly woven mesh and water-resistant synthetic textile. This is quickly overlaid by six exposed silver and volt fabric strips, which on the OG 95 would usually be present under a mesh sheath. Atop this textile assemblage arrives gray rubberized overlays, which rise up high on the heel and midfoot before dropping down towards the forefoot and toebox. 

Branding is handled by green Swooshes towards the heel and a circular Air Max badge on the traditional white tongue. Laces are held in place by a gray throat overlay, and midsoles take on a classic “Neon” mixture of black EVA foam with bright yellow-green Air Max units. Outsoles with a winterized traction pattern round off the look.

The Nike Air Max 95 NDSTRKT “Neon” is set to release via Nike SNKRS Japan on November 29, and is priced at ¥24,200 JPY (approximately $233 USD). A US release date will likely follow in later months.Many of Nike Sportswear‘s in-line Dunk High releases from 2020 have pulled directly or borrowed heavily from OG ’80s Dunk style: the “Michigan,” “Michigan State” and “Pure Platinum” all use solid rubber soles and straightforward collar lining to lock in a heritage look. Now, however, the Dunk High “Varsity Purple” — an elegant women’s style — is diverging from the precedent set by its predecessors by adding modernized details to its classic base.

Uppers mix white and purple leathers in traditional Dunk fashion: the former hits toeboxes, quarters and collars while the latter supplies eponymous style on mudguards, eyestays, Swooshes, laces, collar flaps and heels. This simple-yet-effective colorblocking scheme is inherently familiar to any Dunk aficinado. What’s not familiar is the gold detailing on the Nike tongue badge and the premium satin collar lining. Down below, the mix of new and old is continued with a crisp white midsole atop a purple-tinted translucent outsole. 

Persons interested in this slightly-twisted Dunk style will have their chance when it releases in December: early reports have a December 3 release date on Nike SNKRSand a $120 MSRP pegged, though both of these points have yet to be confirmed by Nike.After working with Futura on a series of screenprints, Takashi Murakami has now reunited with PORTER for a new collection of bags. The collaboration marks the beginning of PORTER’s 85th anniversary celebrations, with a string of new releases and collaborations lined up between now and February 2021.

The collection consists of five classic PORTER bags and one cushion, all of which are designed with a glossy navy finish and adorned with Murakami’s signature flower motif. The bag styles range from the larger Doctor’s Bag, Tool Bag and Helmet Bag to smaller styles such as the Vertical Shoulder Bag and the Fanny Pack.

All of the pieces feature removable flower motifs and Murakami embroidery, with motifs from his work appearing on sections of the exterior and printed onto PORTER’s recognizable orange lining. Finishing each bag is a PORTER patch alongside a Tonari no Zingaro badge.

All of the Takashi Murakami x PORTER bags are available now from the PORTER web store, and keep an eye out for more special releases from the Japanese label to mark its 85th anniversary.
