Whether in the studio or in the streets, KRINK has cemented itself as a go-to marker for prominent and emerging artists alike. Following a recent collaboration with Tiffany & Co., the paint supplier will unveil a special box set with legendary graffiti artist, Futura.
Known the world over for his iconic Pointman character, Futura (real name Leonard McGurr) has been at the pulse of graffiti culture since the 1970s. The upcoming box set was teased earlier today on the artist’s Instagram and will feature an all-black lineup of permanent ink markers, including the popular K-60 and K-70, along with a thicker K-71 and K-51.
Futura x KRINK does not have a price-point or release date as of yet, but expect the box set to release via KRINK in the coming weeks.
Beats by Dre and Futura Laboratories, a design studio and brand platform formed by pioneering graffiti artist FUTURA, have joined forces to create a special-edition pair of Beats Studio Buds.
Doused in the inventive artist’s signature “atom” motif, the Beats Studio Buds supply high-quality audio and offer Class 1 Bluetooth Active Noise Cancellation. Additionally, the earbuds feature a transparency mode and one-touch pairing for Apple and Android devices with up to eight hours of listening time. Notably, the device marks the second collaboration between Beats and FUTURA, following their previous Solo HD delivery in 2013.
In tandem with the collaborative earbuds’ debut, Futura curated an old-school playlist full of songs that resonate with his work and reflect his New York City background. The retro tracklist, titled “Futura Laboratories,” is available to stream on Apple Music.
“Music has always been a necessity in my creative space,” said Futura in a statement, “but music on my Beats Studio Buds take me to an entirely isolated inner space.”
The special-edition Beats Studio Buds will be available to purchase for $149.99 USD beginning Saturday, July 30, at 7 a.m. PT on Futura Laboratories’ webstore, END Clothing and Beats’ WeChat store. Take a look at the design in the gallery above.
