This week’s drops sees another rotation of highly sought after pieces. Amongst the usual suspects like Supreme and Palace, names like Arc’teryx Veilance, A Bathing Ape, Moncler Genius, and Très Bien also make it on to the list. In terms of collaborations, Off-White™‘s highly anticipated see-through Rimowa Essential carry-on suitcase leads the pack, followed by a special collab between Italian retailer, Slam Jam Socialism and Cav Empt. Ending the list is a joint collection by Only NY and New York Magazine, to commemorate the publication’s 50th anniversary.
Elsewhere, Palace drops a Wimbledon Tennis collection with adidas. The Wimbledon collection is everything you would expect from a tennis-themed collection, as the majority the offerings are offered only in white. Supreme surprises with the sudden release of a graphic-heavy T-shirt collection — 7 tees in total. Other items that are sure to sell out include the “Alphabet” print shirt, Skull Pile tote, and the BACtrack Go breathalyzer.
It should also be noted that a portion of Supreme’s sales will go towards families and children affected by the immigration policies set in place by the Trump Administration. The proceeds will go directly to Act Blue where they will be distribute to orgnizations like Kids in Need of Defense and the ACLU.

Supreme SS18 collection drop 19 sees an unexpected return of the infamous “Alphabet” range, which was previously assumed to be cancelled due to a rumored cease and desist. However, it looks like the “Alphabet” water shorts and beach towels will be up for grabs this week. Another notable drop is the Supreme x BACtrack Go breathalyzer keychain with a folding mouthpiece, which might prove to be useful. The rest of the drop seems to be rather quiet, with a few honorable mentions such as the Supreme mesh baseball top and the Skull Pile denim tote bag.

After heavy anticipation, Virgil Abloh‘s Off-White™ x RIMOWA suitcase is finally upon us. The latest collaborative expression from the new Artistic Director of Louis Vuitton, the luggage option is a brazen, yet playful response to privacy culture that’s plagued by surveillance and anonymity.

Moncler taps Fragment Design as the first collaborative release to come out of the Moncler Genius project.

Led by Hiroshi Fujiwara himself, a slew of Moncler’s most celebrated silhouettes have been reinterpreted to mirror Tokyo’s urban street culture.
The special collaboration is a curious synthesis of Italian craftsmanship and bold logomania. From the Moncler Genius Poulsen Giubbotto jacket to the Davis Giubbotto, the familiar thunderbolts are placed next to Moncler’s historic logo. Featured items include T-shirts, mac coats, diamond quilted jackets, backpacks as well as a pair of jeans. The words “BACKSTAGE” can be found at the back, referencing the music-inspired theme.

Italian retailer, Slam Jam and fledging social space, Spazio Maiocchi, join forces for a collaborative capsule of exclusive Cav Empt grails.
Titled “The Clothes Themselves,” the collaborative capsule features a slew of garments that examine philosophical theories by Riccardo Manzotti, most notably his infamous “Spread Mind.” Topics such as the relationship between clothing and externalism are expressed through Cav Empt’s cerebral graphics, in which dystopian motifs and high-tech futurism converge. The special capsule includes a pullover sweater, long-sleeve shirt, and a short-sleeve T-shirt.
