What if I told you the Jordan x Kaws collab won’t be his biggest release this year? A year ago, Kaws debuted his partnership with Uniqlo releasing a collection of t-shirts with his classic Companion prints. For the fans, this was the easiest pick-up of all time. The collection was available to all, even relaunching weeks later for the late bloomers. As it came to a surpise the collection did not sell, leaving bundles sitting on shelves. Not to mention the t-shirts were at a remarkable price retailing at just $15.If you remember a release like Original Fake x Kaws collection of t-shirts years back, this came to a huge shock that such a sought after collection was not sought after this time around. With a name like Kaws and his creative director Nigo, it raised questions.
Fast forward to this year, the name Kaws has been luminating through sites with his recent collaboration with Jordan Brand. The day of the launch, the sneaker sold out in minutes via Nike dotcom and the resell of the sneaker has reached 5x the original price. It seems like Kaws gained his hype back. All awhile we presumed Kaws would bask in his success of this collab, the artist himself released new information of yet another collaboration. This time working on part two with Uniqlo and curator Nigo. It seemed he had his hands full working on yet another collection of t-shirts this time re-introducing his Kaws Peanuts. The collection will release about 12 t-shirts of his classic Snoopy and the Gang. The collection will also have a Snoopy plushie in two sizes. No word on the official release date but it has been confirmed for this month. Needless to say with the hype of the Jordan release, this collection will not sit around for long. So don’t expect such an easy cop this time around.
