To celebrate the March 8th opening of the Stussy Las Vegas Chapter, fellow LV retailers Undefeated and Fruition teamed up with Stussy to create a commemorative t-shirt. The shirt features an array of colorful ribbons emblazoned with slogans and logos from each of the brands. The shirt makes a nod to the parallels between the trifecta of winning retailers, and the Triple Crown honor awarded for sports excellence. There will also be 50 pieces in a special surprise colorway available only at Fruition.
Within the next few hours, two influential members of the Japanese fashion world, Tetsu Nishiyama of WTAPS and Shinsuke Takizawa of Neighborhood will open the doors to their Hoods venture. Hoods will act as a haven for both Neighborhood and WTAPS products as both brands establish themselves in their first venture outside of Japan. We recently had a chance to check out the space occupying a spot on the quaint little On Lan Street in Hong Kong’s Central district. The store, much like the surrounding spaces are long and narrow and encompass multiple floors and provides a sort of equilibrium effect with its immediate neighbors BBC | Ice Cream. A special exhibition involving custom tees is on display as part of the Previously Opening Exhibition taking place tomorrow until the stores opening April 1st. Currently the only items for sale include the Hoods Hong Kong “Bombers” t-shirt, retailing for $499 HKD (approximately $64 USD).
On the horizon is a new footwear release from Japanese brand Hectic. Some could say this falls well within the general scope of Hectic steez as they create a terry cloth court shoe in bold colorways. The shoe is named after the owner of Hectic, Yoshifumi Egawa who is often known as Yops or Yoppy. Expected release is rumored to be April.
