Kid Cudi har debuterat ett nytt samarbete med Off-White, med en specialanpassad rejal vit Out of Office-sneaker, grafiska hoodies och t-shirts. Kollektionen presenterades under Paris Fashion Week och via stämningsfulla svartvita bilder från en onlinekampanj, och hyllar den bortgångne Virgil Abloh. Detaljer om releasedatum och priser meddelas senare.
Kid Cudi, känd som Scott Mescudi, har lanserat ett samarbete med Off-White, streetwear-märket som grundades 2013 av hans bortgångne vän Virgil Abloh. Kapselkollektionen omtolkar Off-Whites Out of Office-skatesko – en rejal siluett inspirerad av tennis-skor från 1980- och 1990-talen – med vit-mot-vit läderövre del, modulär arkitektonisk panelning som bildar geometriska former på utsidan, kontrastsömmar och en mörkgrå yttresula för hållbarhet. Personliga detaljer inkluderar ett omdanat oversized pilmotiv med utsprungande armar. Complementing the footwear are oversized hoodies and t-shirts with co-branding, bold lettering such as 'Focus' and 'Artist' in parentheses, illustrative artwork on the back, and circular dot patterns resembling typography. The dark, introspective aesthetic blends Off-White's streetwear DNA with Cudi's artistic vision, presented in moody black-and-white photography. Cudi debuted the pieces during Paris Fashion Week, modeling them around the city on cobblestone sidewalks, with images later surfacing online to build anticipation. The partnership reflects the duo's shared history in Kanye West's circle, including Abloh's designs for Cudi's album 'Leader of the Delinquents' and Cudi's appearance in Abloh's Louis Vuitton show. Off-White was sold by LVMH to Bluestar Alliance in 2024; Ib Kamara is the current art and image director. No official release date or pricing has been announced, with further updates expected.
