BAIT X DISCOVERY CHANNEL

Posted on 2020-08-03

Discovery Channel and BAIT are celebrating the 32nd installment of Shark Week with a duo of T-shirt releases.

Both pieces pay homage to the great white shark (carcharodon carcharias), also known as the king of the sea and possibly the largest predatory fish. The first offering highlights the shark’s painted profiles across a blue tie-dye backdrop, while the second is designed as a fight night poster alluding to Tyson Vs. Jaws: Rumble on the Reef, Mike Tyson‘s bout against a great white shark for the week-long event.

PRINCE X BRAIN DEAD

Posted on 2020-08-03

When Brain Dead first began brainstorming ideas for this collaboration, they knew that their foray into the world of Tennis could only be done in an original way, one that represents the splendor and controversial nature of the sport during the 80s and 90s. Tennis has embraced the cultural shifts and fashion trends of every decade without straying from its essence and ideals. But even as the sport continues to evolve and adapt to commercialization, brands like Prince are steadfast in their ability to capture and characterize the spirit of Tennis – both on and off the court.

With this collection, Brain Dead draws inspiration from Prince, an original tennis brand that has triumphantly captured a lifestyle synonymous with its legacy and the players that made it famous. Starting with the legendary Prince Ace Face collection, Brain Dead plays with the idea of Tennis counterculture, envisioning the sport as one that is radical and free-form.

The mesmerizing, all-encompassing patterns and color-blocked panels convey the image of a holistic player, one who draws parallels between sport, design, and art. The Brain Dead x Prince player is a multifaceted individual who is not restricted by the rules and sets new standards for themselves and others.

ADIDAS NMD R1 STAR WARS SHOES

Posted on 2020-07-27

Celebrating the 40th anniversary of “The Empires Strikes Back,” these sneakers take cues from the elite stormtroopers. One-piece Primeknit uppers are done up in white, with the standard Three Stripe graphic removed to provide a clean look. A healthy dose of black flecks nods to the two-tone nature of stormtrooper armor, and a stormtrooper visage sits on the tongue badge under the black eyestays. Interchangeable lace deubres provide the shoe’s signature detail, allowing the wearer to switch between a classic Star Wars graphic, first generation stormtrooper helmets and a stormtrooper spellout.

Memorable “Close the blast doors/Open the blast doors!” text hits taken directly from Episode IV appear on the heel tabs, while the midsole bricks feature blue ridged detailing on the heel and an adidas Originals logo towards the forefoot.
