The Weekly Brief

How a Cancelled Fugazi x Vans Collab Led to $5 USD Shoes

🚫 From PFW Buzz to Full Cancellation: Originally debuted during Paris Fashion Week in June, the Fugazi x Vans collab was scrapped due to backlash from the famous punk band that bears the same name.

🚐 Fugazi Did It Their Way: Despite the cancellation, the clothing label dropped a video following a branded Fugazi van advertising $5 shoes, captioned with the simple instructions:”$5 Shoes. Cash only. No change”.

😏 Cash in Hand, Shoes Out of Sight: Photos from the in-person release show packed lines, cash in hand — and the shoes themselves completely blurred out, a subtle wink to the now-defunct campaign.


Awake NY’s AJ6 Is Bootleg by Design

🥊 Back for Round Three: To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Air Jordan 6, Jordan Brand and Awake NY have joined forces for their third collaborative release, exploring street-level luxury through a distinctly New York lens.

👟 Bootleg, but in Premium Leather: Inspired by founder Angelo Baque’s early memories of New York bootleg culture, the project subverts traditional notions of high fashion by leaning into design choices that evoke street market knockoffs.

🗓️ Mark Your Calendar: An online EQL raffle for the Awake NY x Air Jordan 6 sneaker opens on August 23, 2026, with the full capsule to officially release on the 24th.


What Went Down at Hypebeast Cup’s Closing Party with Depop

Two Worlds, One Pop-Up: Hypebeast Cup’s monthlong pop-up in New York City was home to all things football and fashion – with Depop’s rotating Depop Clubhouse activation emphasizing the enduring connection between the two worlds.

🎉 Ending the Month Right: After hosting a selection of vintage sellers on-site at the pop-up all month long, it was only right that Depop host one last watch party for the most important football match of the past four years.

📸 The Final Night, In Full: Here’s what went down at Hypebeast Cup’s Closing Party with Depop.
