Now that August is finally kicking off, it’s time to put together some great fits for the last weeks of Summer. Thankfully they are a number of great releases to consider this week. For those looking to get ready for winter, Arc’teryx has just released its new “System_A” collection. For those looking for some great looking gear that also promotes wellness, check out “Palaste” Palace’s new collaboration with Adidas. Of course, a lot of sneakerheads will be taking some L’s tomorrow trying to cop those Travis Scott x Fragment x Air Jordan lows.
