The last piece of the 4 part puzzle between Upper Playground and adidas’ “You Ain’t Gotta Lie to Kick It” collection comes in the form of Brazilian artist Herbert Baglione. Baglione’s previous experiences have included work with the FIFTY24SF gallery. No definitive date has been set but we’ve been hearing something in the 2nd half of this year.

The Original Fake website has been updated with a new graphic of the KAWS Companion in the missionary position with the Grim Weeper. This artwork by the artist KAWS most likely has the hidden meaning “Fuck Death”. This interesting graphic will be used on an upcoming t-shirt from KAWS’ brand, Original Fake. Look for this tee to drop at Original Fake in Japan or at Original Fake dealers.
