As spotted on Variety, Lululemon is expanding its portfolio beyond the athletic apparel space. This week, the Vancouver, Canada-based label announced a partnership with the NFL. The move is significant for Lululemon, as this is their first-ever licensed merch collection. The drop includes all 32 teams, with pieces for both men and women. Included are some of Lulu’s signature styles, including the Women’s Scuba hooded sweatshirt and the Men’s Steady State crewneck. Developed in conjunction with Fanatics, the “Welcome to the Fam Club” campaign tapped some of the sport’s most influential personalities. Serving as the faces for the launch are the likes of Joe Montana, Ryan Clark, Emmanuel Acho, and more.
Lululemon senior leadership detailed why the collaboration made so much sense in a press statement. “True NFL fans wear their pride. For them, fan gear is more than apparel, it’s a badge of loyalty and a way to instantly connect with a community that is like a family,” said Celeste Burgoyne, President, Americas and Global Guest Innovation, at Lululemon. “We looked to honor that passionate devotion and are thrilled to be part of that ritual found throughout the NFL season.”
The National Football League was as equally excited to offer elevated team merch all backed by Lululemon’s commitment to quality. “Together with Fanatics, we are introducing an elevated collection that redefines modern fan apparel and is uniquely designed for everyday comfort,” said Renie Anderson, Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer, at the NFL. “Lululemon boasts a loyal fan base built on culture, meaningful connections and innovation, qualities that thoroughly reflect the NFL.”

The WNBA’s 2025 season has gotten underway, and the league’s top pick is primed to step out in style thanks to the legendary fashion designer Dapper Dan. He shared his experience designing a tracksuit for Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers, who the team picked first in their draft in Aprilwith her input.
Bueckers’ stylish new tracksuit was unveiled on Wednesday (May 21) through her Instagram account before the Wings took on the Minnesota Lynx at the Target Center in Minneapolis, her hometown. The zippered top bears a striking scripted “DD” logo, instantly harkening back to the visual sensibilities which made the Harlem, New York-born designer a cultural icon thanks to his previous clothing items such as his work with Gucci and his collection with The Gap. The tracksuit’s colors are rust orange and Radiant Lilac, inspired by the paint company Sherwin-Williams who created Radiant Lilac SW 0074, dubbing it its “Loneliest Color.”
“When designing Paige’s outfit, I was drawn to her confidence and elegance,” Dapper Dan said in an interview. “I knew I had to create something that captured how special she is — as a voice in a new generation of women’s sports, elevating the game and embodying the kind of self-expression I’ve always stood for. When it be menswear or womenswear, it’s all about the person behind it and the story they want to tell the world.” The designer was tabbed by Sherwin-Williams to create the color last year as a creative director, leading to the collaboration with Bueckers a.ka. “Paige Buckets” to create the tracksuit combining subtle Western influences and streetwear.“When it comes to how I choose to express myself, I always stay true to me. I love The Loneliest Color,” shared Bueckers in a statement. “Through my partnership with Sherwin-Williams, I want people to feel inspired and empowered to find what sparks that confidence for them—be it through fashion, sports, or the paint on your walls.”“Paige has already begun breaking barriers in women’s sports, and it’s important to me to celebrate the next generation of trailblazers,” Dapper Dan added. “The look we collaborated on for her debut hometown tunnel walk has so much meaning and as I always say, everyone should be proud of who they are—embrace it and express it unapologetically.”

Andre 3000 knows how to make an entrance. The fashion-forward rapper hit the 2025 Met Gala carpet literally wearing a piano on his back—and he wasn’t the only Hip-Hop favorite flexing on the red carpet, which was actually blue.
As HHW has previously noted, the 2025 Met Gala’s theme was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” was directly inspired by Monica L. Miller’s, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. Black Dandyism has a rich history and amounts to Black people going all out in expressing their creativity, and giving white supremacy the finger, and asserting their humanity by donning some epically fresh clothing.

The evening’s celebrity co-chairs were Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky and Pharrell Williams and they all understood the assignment, delivering some stunning looks. But 3 Stacks may have stolen all their shine thanks to his choice in attire. Coincidentally, shortly after the OutKast rapper hit the carpet in a Burberry-designed outfit, his label Epic Records released his new album called 7 piano sketches—thus the big ass (relatively) piano on hos back. Don’t expect any new fire rap verses though, since as the title implies, it’s strictly Andre 3000 on the keys.
Nevertheless, 3 Stacks still have some heavy competition as Future, Doechie and Pusha T are just some of the Hip-Hop heavyweights who understood the night’s assignment brought the sartorial fire to the event.
See for yourself in the gallery.
Where do you even store a portable piano like that?

Hate or it or love, Supreme is always good for a clutch collaboration. The ubiquitous streetwear brand has linked with Spike Lee to create a capsule collection with the renowned director’s 40 Acres & A Mule production company.
Source: Supreme / Supreme
The Brooklyn-bred director and screenwriter skyrocketed to fame after the release of his self-funded, black and white classic film She’s Gotta Have It. The flick also happened to feature Lee himself portraying the now iconic Mars Blackmon character, which Nike soon enough co-opted for the famed Air Jordan campaign considering he wore a pair of Air Jordan 1’s in the film. Lee discussed how it went down in a sit down interview (which also features plenty of dope insight into his decades of work) released by Supreme (see below).
But, there are no Air Jordan callbacks in this Supreme drop. Instead, Lee’s critically acclaimed Malcolm X and Clockers make their way into the mix. The collab consists of an ill black Varsity jacket, a couple of tees, a Clockers 6-panel hat and a baseball jersey. While one tee is attuned to Malcolm X, the other features a photo of Lee while he’s in director mode.
The collection releases Thursday, April 24 at the usual 11am ET online drop time, and in stores. Asian shops gets their product the next day. Check out detailed photos below.

The Silver Surfer rides again. SUPREME’s newest drop includes a Max B photo tee and the culture is here for it.
Source: SUPREME / Supreme
This week the popular street wear brand unveiled their forthcoming Spring 2025 collection. Included are six graphic tops ranging in several colors. The clear standout though is the photograph t-shirt featuring the Boss Don. On the chest is a classic flick of Max B taken in Harlem on the same day he conducted his infamous interview with Come Up DVD. During the informal Q&A, Max B flexed a big stack of cash and started counting the money while reciting “She loves me, she loves me not, she loves me, she loves me not” to coincide with every bill passing his hands. On the back of the shirt is a handwritten message that reads “Max B for Supreme The Waviest Of All Time 2025 Oww!”
Born Charley Wingate, Max B gained national acclaim due to his association to Jim Jones. The two would engage in a bitter feud that would find Max leaving the Byrd Gang camp and publicly dissing Jim Jones. In 2009 Max B was sentenced to 75 years in prison for orchestrating a robbery which turned into the homicide of David Taylor. In 2016 Max B’s convictions were vacated; he is set to be released on Nov. 9, 2025. You can watch his classic interview which inspired the SUPREME photo tee below.
