10 Drops You Don't Want To Miss This Week
Those suitcases are going to cost ya.
This week’s 10 drops you don’t want to miss is yet again overshadowed by Supreme and its bold move in collaborating with another one of LVMH’s premium-house brands. Choosing to work off Rimowa‘s iconic 45L and 82L suitcases, Supreme has catered to two sides, as they offer both a bold red color, and a less conspicuous black iteration, although let’s be honest, it’s going to be very hard to miss spotting the large “Sup” printed across the entire body of the travel companions.
Elsewhere, we see a number of healthy collaborations in the form of HYPEBEAST’s very own pop-up with Arthur Kar, a Champion x BEAMS artist-focus collection, the highly-anticipated Undefeated x adidas drop, the previously-teased James Harden x Y-3 capsule, and the sacai x fragment design “Official Bootleg” range. Exclusives stay strong as A Bathing Ape celebrates 12 years in Hong Kong with a special Shark hoodie + BE@RBRICK combo, while BBC pays homage to Tokyo with a set of kanji-heavy basics. Cannabis fans are also represented with OGs in the game, HUF, once again showing its support for the plant as they release a special “Hotel Smokers Lounge 420” collection just in time for the joyous date of 4-20.

Y-3 meets West Coast native James Harden for a special collaboration. Extending its transpacific collaboration to encapsulate the NBA player’s style of play and Yohji Yamamoto’s design lens, each piece was methodically designed into each other’s fold. Y-3 stays true to its original DNA by keeping to its monochromatic base, while inflecting elements of Japanese culture in standout hues. The symbolic Botan flower is seen throughout the collaboration, a flower often used in ikebana, a reflection of honor, respect and good fortune. Other design details are informed by Harden’s off-court style sensibilities in the form of shorts, hoodies, a reversible blouson, a bomber and more. Choice footwear rounds out the collection — the Y-3 BYW BBALL, Tangutsu and Bashyo.

“I think there’s a space within sacai that’s never been explored,” says Hiroshi Fujiwara in our interview on HYPEBEAST Radio. What started out as a small project between Hiroshi and Chitose Abe has progressed to an exclusive collection of “official bootlegs” intended on exploring the idea of bootleg merch. Spanning various tees, coach jackets, sweatshirts and New Era hats, the collection pays tribute to a range of satirical graphics — for example, graphics such as “SACAI / (NOT sacai)” or “Approved Bootleg” are emblazoned throughout. Hidden plaid materials are tucked inside the coach jackets for bonus material, while subtle sacai and fragment design branding show out at the front of the tees in typewriter typeface.
