New York’s NOAH recently teamed up with Los Angeles rock band Fishbone for a capsule centered around a blend of politics and presentation.
“Rage at injustice, a positive mental attitude aimed towards a better world, frustration that we can’t get to it fast enough, and a need to express all of that with complete freedom, is evident in the assemblage of Summer staples. Lightweight layers like a zip-up jacket and fleece hoodie are accompanied by rugby shirts and T-shirts marked with Fishbone skeleton fish logos and hues drawn from the Rastafarian flag. More aggressive messages appear on the rear of hoodies and embroidered across cotton twill bucket hats, while a simple illustrative “FISHBONE” appears at the front of the long-sleeved shirts.

ASICS is continuing its collaborative streak with its latest Reigning Champ team up. Set to be delivered in four collaborative drops, the duo’s first clothing capsule and footwear take cues from the history of the former Japanese capital, Kyoto.

The result is an array of summer-ready garments and function-focused running shoes. Notable pieces include a dip-dyed jacket and black tracksuit sporting anatomical seams, accessible pockets and breathable panels. Other items come in the form of running shorts, leggings and socks executed in monochrome hues. The footwear encompasses both an ASICS GEL-Kayano 5 OG and the cutting-edge GEL-Kayano 25, each imagined in beige tones to complement the lighter-hued garments.
