BAPE x NBA Youngboy
Release Date: Jan. 22
Signature Item: Baby Milo T-Shirt
To commemorate NBA Youngboy’s Complex cover story, the superstar rapper collaborated with BAPE on some T-shirt. The highlight was a Baby Milo tee featuring YB in BAPE’s signature animated style. This collab also made history as the first instance of a rapper working with both BAPE and Supreme.
BEAMS Plus x Polo Ralph Lauren ‘Japanorak’
Release Date: Feb. 2
Signature Item: The Japanorak
This favorite among hardcore Polo collectors was given a reissue, thanks to BEAMS Plus. The Japanese label included this grail in its collab with Polo Ralph Lauren. It was the first time it had ever been given a re-release since debuting exclusively in Japan in 2010.
While a brand like Polo can never die, there is no denying that it is scorching hot again. The Japanorak is one of the big reasons why.
Kith for 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend
Release Date: Feb. 13
Signature Item: Satin Bomber Jackets
Kith has been going all out for its Knicks collabs for years. For 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend, Ronnie Fieg finally blessed the rest of the NBA with some gear. Throwback styles included short sleeve mesh jerseys and vintage-inspired graphic tees. They celebrated legends of the 2000s like Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady. Some of them even starred in the campaign.
Levi’s x Jordan Brand
Release Date: Feb. 20
Signature Item: Varsity Jacket
While most people were focused on the well-executed Air Jordan 3s, the latest linkup between Levi’s and Jordan Brand also delivered some great apparel. The standout items were a faded zip hoodie complete with double zips and a varsity jacket covered in a series of patches that alluded to the deep history of both brands. They even got Spike Lee for the campaign. Every aspect of this one was great.
Cactus Plant Flea Market x Nike ACG
Release Date: Feb. 27
Signature Item: Balaclava Hoodie
Cactus Plant Flea Market has become one of Nike’s most consistent collaborators. For its latest work with the Swoosh, it reinterpreted its ACG line for a series of vibrant outdoors gear. Lizard-shaped sidebags and rainbow fleeces added the perfect dose of CPFM’s youthful energy to the functional line.
STFU x Awake NY
Release Date: March 14
Signature Item: Airbrushed Vintage Summit Series Jacket
Awake NY tapped in with one of the best young artists in New York City, Omi, for a special series of vintage The North Face Summit Series jackets. Omi, who also operates his own brand STFU, is known for his detailed airbrush artwork. Applying that to these classic TNF pieces to make them true one-of-ones was a genius way for Awake NY to further establish itself as a platform championing the next era of New York City’s streetwear scene.
Supreme x MM6
Release Date: March 19
Signature Item: Box Logo Zip Hoodie
Supreme usually hits a home run when it works with a luxury brand. Its partnership with MM6 Maison Margiela is a prime example. The first installment came in 2024, and the two labels ran it back in 2026. Patchwork caps and money print Timbs were a hot commodity, but the real star of the show was the first-ever Box Logo zip hoodie. It’s not just one of the greatest Supreme piece of the 2020s, but might also be one of the brand’s best BOGOs of all time.
Slawn x Akimbo
Release Date: March 20
Signature Item: Clown Zip-Up
Usually, Akimbo Club strays away logos and graphics. The Utah-based brand has become known for its well-executed essentials like zip hoodies and sweats. So, it took us a bit by surprise when Akimbo announced a concise collection with UK artist Slawn.
Slawn applied his signature art style to a series of all-over print hoodies. While he’s made some waves with his bootleg collaborations in the past, this one was the real deal.
Palace x Evisu
Release Date: March 27
Signature Item: Daicock Print Selvedge Jeans
While we are still waiting to see Evisu can fully get back to its glory days in the 2000s, brands like Palace have done a great job of bringing the Japanese denim brand into this generation of streetwear. The latest Palace x Evisu collab featured some interesting knitwear and even a snow globe, but nothing was better than the two-tone denim variation on Evisu’s signature Daicock print jeans.
KATSEYE x GAP
Release Date: April 14
Signature Item: Daniela Hoodie
To mark the global girl group’s Coachella debut, KATSEYE collaborated with GAP on a series of hoodies inspired by each of the members: Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia, and Yoonchae. Thanks to their dedicated fanbase, they sold out almost instantly.
Jonn Geiger x NFL ‘Misplaced Series’
Release Date: April 23
Signature Item: Philadelphia Eagles Fitted Hat
John Geiger has applied his “Misplaced” style to everything from custom Air Force 1s to official WWE T-shirts over the years. To mark the 2026 NFL Draft in his home city of Pittsburgh, he brought his designs to the NFL. The limited release of New Era fitteds incorporated modern and retro team logos that sold out with ease. Some of them were even flipping for hundreds of dollars on the aftermarket upon release. Once again, Geiger proved that he knows how to make product that the streetwear community wants.
Joe Freshgoods x New Balance ‘Let’s Get Weird’
Release Date: April 25
Signature Item: “Finger Waves” New Balance 1890
Joe Freshgoods is arguably streetwear’s best storyteller. For his latest New Balance release, he channeled iconic hip-hop videos of the ‘90s like Busta Rhymes and Janet Jackson’s “What’s It Gonna Be” for a series of bright orange and purple 1890s complimented by matching apparel. It got weird.
Satoshi Nakamoto x Vans
Release Date: April 27
Signature Item: Vans Era 95 Gems
Satoshi Nakamoto’s embellished Old Skools from 2024 sparked the Vans resurgence we are currently in right now. The Los Angeles-based luxury streetwear brand hasn’t slowed up since. Case in point, its most recent drop that even caused mass hysteria and lineups in New York City. When’s the last time you saw that type of commotion for some Vans?
NIGO x Nike Air Force 1 ‘LO2’
Release Date: May 1
Signature Item: NIGO x Nike Air Force 1 ‘LO2’
This sneaker is a culmination of NIGO’s 30-plus-year career. Fittingly, the Japanese legend’s first Air Force 1 marked the opening of “NIGO: From Japan with Love,” an exhibition at the Design Museum in London that documents NIGO’s work. This isn’t just one of the best sneakers of 2026, but also one of the best streetwear collabs of the year, period.
Corteiz x Gabriel Moses
Release Date: May 1
Signature Item: Elitework Jacket
London’s young community of creators are running this era of streetwear. Two of the names leading the charge are Corteiz founder Clint Ogbenna and director/photographer Gabriel Moses. The two came together for a collab featuring imagery from Moses’ portrait series, “Regina.” Moses even shot and styled the campaign.
Swatch x Audemars Piguet ‘Royal Pop’
Release Date: May 16
Signature Item: Swatch x AP Royal Pop Watch
We don’t even know what it looks like yet and this collab already broke the internet. An affordable Royal Oak-adjacent timepiece, sign us up.
