When it comes to his outerwear, the Creator has made sure you will keep cosy this winter, and your wardrobes happy. The collection features block, colourway puffers in red and blue, brown and pink, and icy white and blue. Alongside an electric, neon green leather bomber boasting a large, white hazardous symbol – and if worried about your fingers – don’t be! With dangerously slick leather gloves to match. 

it seems to be all about standing out in outlandish gear for Golf Wang this season, with the brand also giving us the chance to spice up our homes. Offering up warm yellow mugs and a Golf branded ping pong set.

It is time for round two – are you ready? 

In only a matter of months, KAWS and TNF are gearing up to release a second collection. But this time, it is all in the simplicity as the duo retire their bright colours and cuts and instead opt for a more understated look. Identifiable throughout the collaboration are the classic KAWS XX pattern, couple admirably with a black and white colour story. 

Pieces released this time over have their fans in mind – featuring timelessly popular jackets including the Nuptse and Denali coats. Accompanied by ThermoBall Traction Mules, duffle bags, Nuptse mittens and pullover hoodies.

Breathing new life again into the classic Croc silhouette, designer Salehe Bembury brings you the new Crocs Pollex Clog “Kuwata” releasing on October 22nd at 12pm. 

The shoe calls on Bembury’s signature fingerprint pattern, this time remastered in a shade of salmon. Taking to his Instagram, Bembury has revealed this colour choice to be the result of inspiration taken from cherry blossom trees. With the toe of the slip on and its hardware features maintaining a darker shade, there are some correlations between the “Kuwata” and the previously released collaboration in 2021.
