Top 10 Collaborations of 2024
Asap Nast x Alice hollywood
A$AP Nast may have stepped back from the music scene, but for those who follow his moves, he's still a powerhouse in the fashion world. In his latest collaboration, he joined forces with Shane Gonzales of Midnight Studios' sub-brand, Alice Hollywood, to drop a collection of double-brim caps. What sets this collaboration apart is its meticulous execution: the caps seamlessly fuse streetwear vibes with punk-inspired details, making for a bold and stylish accessory that speaks to those who value both aesthetics and practicality.
Korn x Adidas
Celebrating 30 years since their debut album dropped in 1994, Korn’s collaboration with Adidas brings forth a capsule collection that defies boundaries—much like the band itself. From sequined tracksuits to leather Superstar sneakers and layered striped tees, the collection blends iconic streetwear with the band's signature rebellious spirit. Each piece reflects Korn’s bold, genre-defying influence, merging edgy rock aesthetics with Adidas’ athletic heritage to create a truly unique collection that resonates with fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
Palace x Vivienne Westwood
A collaboration that exceeded already high expectations from two legacy brands in different fields. Palace and Vivienne Westwood merge streetwear sensibilities with a high-end touch, offering a perfect example of what a collaboration should be—something that unites two divergent audiences. The patterns, use of tartan, and accessories were all exceptionally executed.
424 x Seventh Heaven
I'm not sure there's been a better designer than Guillermo Andrade in the past few years. 424 has consistently walked the line between high-end fashion and streetwear, but the brand’s recent output has elevated it into a powerhouse. Waxed leathers, suedes, sherpas, rich textures, impeccable tailoring, and innovative boot designs have cultivated a unique mystique around the label. This year, Andrade brings John Ross’ brand Seventh Heaven into the fold, adding an extra layer of distinction to an already exceptional collection. The collaboration infuses fresh energy and visual appeal, making the entire lineup feel even more distinctive and forward-thinking.
Louis Vuitton x Tyler, the Creator
The Louis Vuitton x Tyler, The Creator collaboration of 2024 is perhaps the quintessential collab of the year. The collection blends Tyler’s whimsical, playful style from his Le Fleur brand with the refined luxury Louis Vuitton is known for. The result is a unique fusion that maintains both the fun and sophistication of each brand. The collaboration was so well-received that many have called for Tyler to take over creative direction, or at the very least, to be given another collection to design.
Martine Rose x Supreme
Whether you know it or not, Martine Rose has been one of the undeniable voices shaping men’s streetwear from behind the scenes for decades. Now at the forefront, she delivers a tasteful and rich collection with Supreme as the backdrop. The masterful use of textures in tracksuits and sets introduces a juxtaposed elegance, elevating what could be a purely street-based collaboration into something truly refined.
Tekken x Nike Foamposite
Some collaborations aren't meant to make sense, they just work — case & point, Nike x Tekken. Created to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the iconic Tekken franchise, this collaboration blends two worlds in a way that feels unexpectedly seamless. The Nike Foamposite, known for its futuristic design, gets a unique Tekken-inspired twist, with bold colors and graphics that pay homage to the legendary fighting game. The result is a shoe that captures both the high-octane energy of Tekken and the cutting-edge style of Nike, making it a must-have for gamers and sneakerheads alike.
Skepta x Puma
Skepta has already earned acclaim with his past collaborations with Nike, and he continues his winning streak with Puma. The British grime artist brings his distinct style to Puma’s resurging lineup, offering beautiful colorways, innovative designs, and standout merchandise that resonate with both his music fans and sneakerheads. Skepta’s eye for detail and flair for streetwear culture injects fresh energy into Puma, pushing the brand further into the spotlight while staying true to its athletic heritage. Each piece in the collection captures the perfect blend of fashion-forward street style and performance-driven design, cementing Skepta’s position as one of the top collaborators in the game.
Veneda Carter x Timberland
Some collaborations are so good, you’ve got to run them back twice, right? Veneda Carter made waves with her "honey bun" buttas last year, and now she’s doubling down with another collection for Timberland. This year’s drop features standout styles like the Silver 6-Inch Lace-Up Waterproof Boot and the Blue Patent Leather Women's Veneda Carter 14-Inch Lace-Up Zip Boot. Both designs embody Veneda’s bold aesthetic while staying true to Timberland’s iconic durability, blending street style with high-fashion elegance in a way only she can. It’s clear this partnership is just getting started, and fans are already clamoring for more.
Apro x AFB
Maybe the most esoteric collab of the year, Apro and AFB come together for an Asia-exclusive collaboration that’s absolutely mind-blowing. AFB, short for Anyways Fcking Btch, is a Japanese streetwear brand that’s been buzzing in recent years, with names like Yachty, and Nessly already spotted in their designs. Apro, an up-and-coming artist with a unique and captivating style, brings his vision to the collection, adorning each piece with his signature art style. The result is a striking fusion of streetwear and raw, artistic expression that has everyone talking.
