STYLE: LAND ROVER DEFENDER / SUPREME / BAPE x ADIDAS

Despite ending the productions of its Defender series, Land Rover recently revealed a 70th anniversary old school excursion model.

Limited to 150 units, the 70th anniversary Defender includes a 5.0-litre naturally-aspirated petrol V8 engine making it the most powerful and fastest model of the now discontinued series. Clocking a top speed of 106mph and a 0-60mph acceleration in 5.6 seconds, the limited edition Defender is sure to make it to the top of any Land Rover enthusiast’s wishlist.

Available in eight standard body colors and two satin finishes, the 70th anniversary Defender comes kitted with an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission, 18-inch diamond-turned Sawtooth alloy wheels and all-terrain tires. While Windsor Leather interior trim accents the dashboard, door panels, headlining and Recaro sports seats found in the interior of the car.

Priced at £150,000 GBP (approximately $207,000 USD), the limited edition 70th anniversary V8-powered Land Rover Defender is set to release later this year. For more information on the model head over to Land Rover.

Streetwear brand Supreme has taken to Instagram to tease its upcoming and highly-anticipated Spring/Summer 2018 collection.

Details on the drop are vague, yet the social media announcement teased a multi-colored leather jacket layered over a pastel, tie-dye hoodie. The detailing on the outerwear piece includes raised, white dots on top of the bold, enlarged letters spelling out “SUPREME.”

UPDATE: Following a NBA All-Star Weekend debut, the BAPE x adidas Dame 4 will receive a wider launch on February 18 on adidas.com and at select adidas retailers.

Fresh off the unveiling of some new branded long-sleeve T-shirts and a lean line of limited-edition MA-1 flight jackets, BAPE teams up with adidas for a new spin on the Dame 4 silhouette.

Originally released last year, the adidas Dame 4 is Portland Trailblazers guard Damian Lillard‘s signature shoe and comes equipped with a mesh upper, Bounce cushioning, and a sturdy gum sole. The style was initially produced in an “un-dyed” white and cream colorway and a red, white and black “Rip City” version. For this latest spin on the Dame 4, A Bathing Ape outfits the sneaker with different takes on its signature shark and camouflage graphics to create a pair of new colorways known as the “Green Camo” and “Black Camo” models.

You can take a look at the BAPE and adidas Dame 4 above, while the shoes themselves will drop in limited runs next month. For those interested, the new Dame 4s will only be available for purchase at adidas’s 747 Warehouse Street showcase during February’s NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles and are set to sell for $150 USD.

STYLE: KIM K

Social media mogul, reality star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian covers the February issue of Vogue Taiwan. Wearing a full face of her own KKW Beauty line, Kardashian talks building her empire, her love for cosmetics and the beginning of her brand. She also touches on her recent fragrance addition, revealing that she has always been fascinated by scent saying, “Fragrance represents your mood, and can also reveal a person’s personality.”

To read the full interview, head over to Vogue Taiwan, and click through the gallery above to see all the images the feature. Don’t miss Kim on the cover of ODDA Magazine while you’re at it.

Ahead of Milan Fashion Week, Italian ODDA Magazine is releasing its 14th publication titled “Queen Be.” The issue features none other than Kim Kardashian on the cover, sporting a full Fendi outfit posing next to her now infamous Louis Vuitton trash cans. Shot by Sita Abellan, the magazine is set to release alongside fashion week.

Calvin Klein‘s #MyCalvins campaign returns with new campaign featuring America’s most buzzed-about family – the Kardashian-Jenners. The images include Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, alongside Kendall and Kylie Jenner in Calvin Klein Jeans and underwear.

Shot by Willy Vanderperre, the sisters appear in a barn-like location, speaking to creative director, Raf Simons‘ version of Americana. The new collection is also an ode to the brand’s successful ’90s period in which simple undergarments reigned supreme. The denim pieces feature distinct detailing – jeans with striping and dramatic highlighted chest pockets on collared shirts.

According to a statement by the brand, the #MyCalvins campaign is inspired by family and is a “display of unity between strong individuals” which “captures these bonds and brings to life different ways we can inspire families – both born and made — to connect with one another, and celebrate the things that unite us.”

ADIDAS x PHARRELL

Earlier this month, Pusha T teased us with an early picture of Pharrell‘s new friends and family adidas Originals Hu NMD. Now, its VP of adidas global entertainment & influencer marketing Jon Wexler‘s turn to give us another peek at the shoe.

The latest pair boasts purple-colored uppers alongside earthy tan panels and white BOOST midsoles. On the vamp, you can see Japanese characters and the word “Respira” — breathe for Spanish – stitched on in white. Finally, you also have what looks to be salmon-colored laces striped with green coloring. As a caption for this post, Wexler just adds how “honored” he is to have received the pair.

After early teaser images and much speculation surrounding its impending drop, Pharrell’s collaborative tie-dyed Hu NMD silhouette alongside adidas, which sits in part of the upcoming Trail Holi” pack, now has a set release date. Additional images recently hit our radar — granting us a better look at this vibrantly-hued BOOST model.

Said to be inspired by the Holi Festival observed in India, a lively celebration of color and love, this particular model sports a tonal mashup of “Chalk Coral,” “Flash Green” and “Lab Purple” along the upper, while a white BOOST midsole and “Coral” outsole round out the design. This rendition will retail for $250 USD and will make its debut on March 2 online and select adidas stockists.

After several teasers and closer looks, additional images of Pharrell x adidas Hu NMD silhouettes continue to hit our news feeds ahead of their impending drop dates. With that said, these new photos provide us our best look yet at this off-white rendition, which first grabbed our attention back in November.

Now believed to be part of what’s being called the “Blank Canvas” pack, these iterations feature an off-white Primeknit-constructed upper with splashes of clean white making its way onto the collar lining, side cage, BOOST midsole and grooved outsole. Rounding out the new design is the text “WORLD” found embroidered on the topside — running from toe to tongue. Set to a price of $250 USD, this new Pharrell x adidas HU NMD Trail model will arrive at adidas’s online store and select retailers on February 23.

adidas Originals’ Pharrell Williams Tennis Hu is back with a makeover on its previous “Multicolor” iteration. The knitted upper welcomes back a selection of colors with a lighter shade to follow up the previous launch from July. The waffle-textured midsole makes its way back into the fold in white to complement the branded heel tab, inner lining and laces done in the same color. Black branding serves as a contrast on the aforementioned areas as the finishing touch to the “Multicolor” sequel.

Currently, there’s no confirmed launch date for this colorway, stay tuned for further information regarding its drop. Take a look at the images above and let us know how it stacks up against the model’s original release. Recently, adi dropped a star-studded Original Is Never Finished 2018 video campaign video.

Pharrell Williams and adidas Originals’s Hu NMD series is set to return with a few new options. Geared to be a part of the Three Stripes’ fall 2018 lineup, the offering falls under the “Afro” moniker and welcomes a selection of three colorways.

Each iteration boasts a unique striped pattern along the Primeknit upper while large wording returns similar to previous releases. BOOST cushioning makes its way back in addition to the Hu NMD trail outsole this time around. Stick with us as we get more information on this colorful pack.

After just being granted a look at a trio of newly-revealed adidas x Pharrell Hu NMD iterations, it appears as though another new model has come to light known as “Body & Earth.” The uppers take on a light blue mesh-comprised textile with the word “Body” landing on one shoe, while “Earth” appears on the other. Clean white adds ample contrast, which not only is seen on the signature text, but on the cage system, BOOST midsole, EVA inserts and trail rubber outsole.

Price and release date still has yet to be confirmed, so be sure to check back for future updates.

JORDAN BRAND:

Shortly after official images surfaced of the OVO x Air Jordan 8s, October’s Very Own shared a first look at the apparel complementing the collaborative footwear.

Full-zip jackets boasting a choice of black or white coloring join the drop with red and gold detailing found on the Jumpman and OVO Owl respectively.

Do you plan on trying your luck in copping the next OVO x Air Jordan collab on February 16? In related OVO news, Roy Wood$ has announced his Say Less tour.

The holiday spirit continues as Jordan Brand anticipates Chinese New Year ushering a series of decorative footwear.

Early next year, we’ll see the Air Jordan 6 Retro “Chinese New Year” dressed in a traditional black, gold and red colorway. The upper comes decked out in floral embroidery and detailed firework paneling. A black suede toebox off-sets the vibrant shoe along with a gold lace lock. Black and gold lining highlights white midsoles while a classic red logo completes the soles.

Although the official drop of Air Jordan 6 “CNY” is slated for January –  ahead of the February 16 holiday, they are currently available in select sizes at Stadium Goods for $349 USD.

Back in March, news surfaced that the Air Jordan 3 “Katrina” would be making its retail debut with further confirmation landing this November. Set to hit shelves on May 12 of 2018, here we have our best look yet at the upcoming Air Jordan model.

The Air Jordan 3 “Katrina” was originally auctioned off in 2006 to help raise funds for Hurricane Katrina Victims. Similar to the initial images of the “Fire Red” and “Black Cement” 3 that surfaced, the “Katrina” colorway sees its elephant print treated in black and white. Tumbled leather coats the entire upper as red detailing is placed on the midsole’s heel, behind the tongue, and on the tongue’s Jumpman logo.

The Air Jordan 3 “Katrina” is set for a May 12, 2018 release at Jordan Brand retailers for a price of $190 USD. In the meantime, check out the official images of the Nike Air Foamposite One “Alternate Galaxy.”

After receiving a first look last year, let’s now take a closer look at the multicolored Air Jordan 1 Flyknit “BHM” releasing in celebration of this year’s Black History Month. Giving the updated iteration of the classic 1985 AJ1 a Pan-African flag makeover, the Flyknit upper of the shoe is dressed in bright red, green and black — accented by leather Jordan Brand and Swoosh insignias. A contrasting pure white midsole and tri-colored outsole round up the design of the shoe. Check out this closer look at the Air Jordan 1 Flyknit “Black History Month” and let us know what you think about the sneaker due to release next month.

STREETWEAR: Backstage At Raf Simons' Fall/Winter 2018 Runway Show

Raf Simons‘ Fall/Winter 2018 show fulfilled its anticipated role as New York Fashion Week: Men’s highlight runway event. The drug-fueled, literary-inspired collection made its way down a catwalk fringed with heaps of food, bottles of booze and bunches of disheveled flowers. The set, which looked like the morning-after of a hedonistic Last Supper, was catalyzed by laser lights and a techno music soundtrack that mimicked an underground warehouse rave party.

But behind the scenes, it was calm and order. The premise to the presentation, which was titled “Youth In Motion,” nestled in the stairwells of midtown Manhattan’s Sir Stage 37, where white cinderblocks and austere emergency door exits brought out the stoic elegance of Raf’s garments. Here, we’re offered a coolheaded look at the sculptural outerwear, graphic prints and eclectic knitwear that has become linchpins of Raf Simons’ collections.

The collection’s buzz continued off the runway, post-show, inciting reactions from all corners of the fashion industry. Read what insiders had to say about the Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2018 runway show and stay tuned to all our coverage from New York Fashion Week: Men’s.
