This week’s release roundups include the usual Supreme and Palace deliveries as well as treats from Stüssy, Balenciaga, KITH, adidas Originals by Alexander Wang and more.
With the weather finally getting properly warm for Spring/Summer 2018, we have a handful of new eyewear in a variety of flavors: Supreme’s nineties-era clout goggles and Guy Fieri shades, SSENSE x Gentle Monster’s Matrix-inspired tiny glasses, and Palace x Oakley‘s unapologetically reflective sportswear sunglasses.
Keeping with accessories, Supreme gets playful by dropping Bogo hair tie boggles and a chicken dinner plate ashtray, while Palace keeps it functional with camo and orange bags and a collaborative Oakley “Thermonuclear Protection” hat. The clothing category sees big name brands Balenciaga and adidas Originals by Alexander Wang release their highly-anticipated new seasons, while KITH, Warren Lotas x Fear of God and Stüssy x DSM x Photo London flex some streetwear authority.

This week’s Supreme drop has a little bit of everything. First up is the Spring 2018 sunglasses collection, which features five different vintage ‘90-inspired styles in a bevy of colors and bearing details such as stars studs and gold-tone Supreme hardware. From the SS18 mainline, we have a balanced offering of statement pieces — the patches denim jackets and monogram football jersey — and standard streetwear essentials — fleece crewnecks and hoodies, velour shorts, graphic logo tees. What really tips the scale, however, is the accessories range, which treats us to quirky collectibles such as the Supreme Bogo hair ties (set of 2) and the MVP of the week, the chicken dinner plate ashtray.

London’s Palace pulled out a few big pieces for the third drop of its Summer 2018 collection.

The Palace mainline release has a handful of highlights, too, such as the pink seersucker tracksuit, the panda crewneck sweaters, and the orange and camo waist packs and sling sacks.

WTAPS‘ Spring/Summer 2018 collection is a mixture of new additions and what we’ve come to expect from the Japanese label. Ideal for more temperate regions, the collection goes heavy with outerwear, knits, and denim. As always, WTAPS’ penchant for military and Americana is seen in returning themes such as the “MIKE” name patch and WTVUA (WTAPSVISUALUPARMORED) branding. Standout details worth mentioning are the various typefaces and untraditional placement of front zippers — with an inclination towards the half-zip.

UNDEFEATED‘s latest drop is an ode to the early days of sportswear. A modern assortment of staples like the jersey, anorak, polo, coach jacket and shorts is blended with throwback cuts and graphics. On the color side of things, bright pastels are favored, but just enough hits of black and gray are mixed in for some balance. If T-shirts are your thing, this collection has you covered — there’s even a sports towel thrown in for good measure.
