February 10, 2017. Leave a Comment

New York artist KAWS aka Brian Donnelly is bringing back his insanely popular BFF plush toy, which crashed the The Modern’s webstore when it was first offered in October 2016. Donnelly has warned he only has a few of the dolls and also that his own website is “old and rusty” so the force will definitely need to be with you to pull off a cop.

The toy will go live at 12:00 EST on February 9, 2017. The price is $200.

Visit kawsone.com for more details.

We are doing a very small release of BFF tomorrow at noon (EST) on kawsone.com Basically I’m testing my old rusty website that has been suffering from depression from never being used… #KAWS

First in hand look at Nike's upcoming 2025 Ekiden

First in hand look at Nike's upcoming 2025 Ekiden collection comprising four performance running shoes that include Vaporfly 3, AlphaFly 3, Zoom Fly 6 and Rival Fly 4 (not pictured).

The capsule is a celebration of Japan's ekiden races, a long-distance relay race. The first ekiden race was held in 1917, and was run over three days between the old Japanese capital of Kyoto and the modern capital of Tokyo, a distance of 508 km (316 miles).

The shoes are distinguished by a flame on the front half of the shoe meant to symbolize "the fire that burns within all racers and the torches used during the night legs of the earliest ekiden competitions."

While Nike has been producing ekidon running shoes since the '90s, the flame on the 2025 collection is inspired by a Zoom Spectrum, designed by Steve Smith in 2003. In 2018, Nike worked with Supreme to relaunch the shoe.

While exact pricing isn't yet available, the shoes are expected to launch in December 2024.

Louis Vuitton officially ended its partnership with Takashi Murakami in 2015, following the departure of creative director Marc Jacobs in 2013, who first initiated the collaboration with the Japanese artist in 2002.

For over 13 years, Murakami developed an iconic portfolio of designs for the house, including Cherry Blossom (2003), Panda (2004), Cerises (2005), MOCA Hands (2007), Monogramouflage (2008) and Cosmic Blossom (2010).
