SUPREME/YOHJI YAMAMOTO

Posted on 2020-09-14

Yamamoto is one of the most influential fashion designers living and working today. A master craftsman with a rebellious spirit, Yohji’s transformative impact is felt far beyond the runway. Over nearly 50 years, he has fundamentally changed how people dress in their everyday lives.

In an era otherwise dominated by hyper-feminine, form-fitting glamour, Yohji blazed a new path forward with masterful draping and playful androgyny. His protective, loose and exaggerated shapes – rendered in all-black, and with durable fabrics – disrupted conventional wisdom about the possibilities of modern clothing, and earned him a fiercely dedicated global following. Yohji continues to break barriers between catwalk and street, luxury and sport, tradition and the avant-garde.

Supreme has worked with Yohji Yamamoto on a collection for 2020. The collection features a Leather Work Jacket, Down Jacket, Parka, Wool Suit, Sweater, Shirt, Hooded Sweatshirt, Crewneck, five T-Shirts and a Beanie. The collection features original artwork by Sancheeto, Peter Saville and Yuuka Asakura.

Available September 17th.

Available in Japan September 19th.

ADIDAS SPEZIAL AUTUMN/WINTER 2020

Posted on 2020-09-10

The footwear releases are led by the HRMNY SPZL – a lesser known release from the original Torsion range that was/is revered by German football fans. Based on the adidas Harmony, it was originally a women’s shoe whose silhouette has been reworked by adidas Spezial into a wider men’s fitting and given a complete overhaul on the colour palette and materials. Next up is the Newrad SPZL – a brand new leisure shoe in light brown nubuck built on the Bermuda tooling and branded with an embossed ‘Mod Trefoil’ patch on the lateral side. To keep the fans of court shoes happy we have the Alderley SPZL – another new adidas Spezial hybrid that takes the foundations of its design from the mesh and foxing of the Rod Laver Vintage but heads into new territory with a distinctive perforated leather toe, ‘U’ mesh insert in the perforated tongue and heel guard. Lastly, Spezial takes the adilette slides and adds its own identity to these adidas icons with the debossed Mod Trefoil relief and Spezial branding.

The apparel sees the return of an adidas Spezial mainstay with the SL Haslingden jacket. The Haslingden is widely regarded as one of Spezial’s most popular jackets ever and this classic 4 pocket jacket walking jacket returns in black. This latest version is constructed in a super lightweight fabric (hence the SL name) with tonal 3 stripe branding.

The second jacket is the ST11 – a newly developed jacket that comes in a bold gold colourway and. takes inspiration from the silhouettes of the Standard Training of the late 70s/early 80s but updates the colour, materials and fit. To support these pieces is a brand carrier Mod Trefoil sweat in a chalk white Terry and a basic white logo carrier tee. There is a tapered navy track pant that uses cotton with recycled PES blend pique material as well as a trace green cargo short in the classic ‘Aldwych’ fit. A multi panel, peaked, logo cap in a warm beige with adjustable fit and three vent holes finishes the look.
