Exclusively available on the Complex Shop, make sure to cop before it sells out—only a limited quantity was made.
Nike by YOON Oversized Varsity Jacket
Release Date: Available now
Where to Buy It: nike.com, select Nike stores, and Nordstrom
Price: $550
Nike and AMBUSH designer Yoon Ahn have a longstanding history of collaborations. They reunited for this US Open season to create custom looks for tennis sweetheart Naomi Osaka’s return. Along with Osaka’s competition kit, they unveiled an apparel collection designed by Yoon. We picked out the varsity jacket for its vintage flair—oversized, slightly cropped, and with a big letterman patch.
MoMA x Nike Everyday Socks
Release Date: Available now
Where to Buy It: store.moma.org
Price: $18
Level up your everyday sock game with these MoMA-exclusive Nike crew socks. Made from a moisture-wicking cotton-blend weave, the socks feature a shock-absorbing cushioned sole. They come in five colorways, but we’re partial to the bright blue pair with a red heel and sole. Perfect for the gym or pairing with some AF-1s.
KidSuper FW ‘24 Face Zip-up Hoodie
Release Date: Available now
Where to Buy It: kidsuper.com
Price: $275
KidSuper presented his AW ’24 collection in Paris earlier this year, and the time has finally come for its release. Made from heavyweight French terry, this hoodie is washed for a lived-in feel. The face appliqués are reminiscent of KidSuper’s signature kitschy illustrations. Teased on the brand’s Instagram as a potential staple piece, this hoodie is well worth the investment.
Denim Tears Watercolor Jockey Button-Up
Release Date: Available now
Where to Buy It: denimtears.com and in-store at Africa Diaspora Goods
Price: $210
Denim Tears has mastered the art of storytelling through fashion. This shirt tells the forgotten history of Black jockeys who made equestrian sports, especially the Kentucky Derby, a key part of American culture that was not recognized for their efforts. The button-down features an abstract print spotlighting 11 of the most prominent athletes in the sport.
Brain Dead Bug Sunglasses
Release Date: Available now
Where to Buy It: wearebraindead.com
Price: $175
Brain Dead’s latest drop includes a new assortment of eyewear, designed to complement the brand’s Type 00 Denim relaunch. The ‘Bug’ frames are slightly upturned and oblong-shaped, adding a futuristic edge to your fit. Brain Dead suggests pairing these sunglasses with its Japanese denim jeans and pique tee for a complete head-to-toe look.
MSCHF Not Wheels™
Release Date: Available now
Where to Buy It: mschfnotwheels.com
Price: $30
Fashion’s favorite troll, MSCHF, surprised us with another quirky collab, this time with Hot Wheels. The ‘Not Wheels’ pays homage to the beat-up but reliable first car many drivers start their automotive journeys with. Modeled after 90s Japanese imports, it’s dented, rusted, and even missing a back tire. The packaging, as always with MSCHF, is fully committed to the bit.
Fear of God Essentials Bonded Nylon Field Trench
Release Date: Available now
Where to Buy It: fearofgod.com
Price: $195
Fear of God ESSENTIALS has dropped its collegiate-style Back to School collection. Following in the footsteps of previous collections, it’s all about athleisure in neutral tones with bold logos. The outerwear selection caught our attention the most this time. Made from double-layered stretch nylon, the Field trench coat is a perfect blend of casual and technical wear, making it a must-have for fall.
Kody Phillips Lasso Shirt
Release Date: Available now
Where to Buy It: kodyphillips.com
Price: $159
One of our favorite up-and-coming labels, Kody Phillips, just released the first installment of its Fall/Winter 2024 collection. The highlight is the Lasso Shirt. The cropped style features details like lasso piping throughout, a welt pocket on the chest, and hidden hook and eye closures in place of traditional buttons. Available in four colors, this blue-striped variation is the best of the bunch.
Milli Point Two Bable Shorts
Release Date: Made by request
Where to Buy It: Milli Point Two showroom

Milli Point Two, a contemporary menswear brand, is opening its first showroom on LA’s Canon Drive. To celebrate, it’s cooked up a showroom-exclusive collection, “Red Drive.” Building on its inaugural collection “Day One,” Red Drive follows a made-by-request model. The Babel shorts, made from Italian ‘nylonide,’ mimic the soft, slinky feel of silk. The thick waistband and wide-leg design evoke boxing shorts.
