Releases you don't want to miss this week
First look at fall collections from Paratodo, Brigade, Awake NY, and Dime. Plus, new footwear from REGAL Shoe&Co., thisisneverthat's latest collaboration, and more!
September is off to a great start, brands are pumping out their Fall collections left and right, collaborations are flowing… the drought is over!!! August felt extra dead in terms of releases and having that break was nice, but I’m happy to be back to dish out all of the recommendations that will leave that wallet hurting.
Today we’ll be covering upcoming releases you should know about: thisisneverthat + GORE-TEX, Palace + Vivienne Westwood, Dime Fall ‘24, and REGAL Shoe&Co. x F/CE. We also have a few sneak peeks at upcoming collections from Paratodo, Brigade, AwakeNY, and more!
thisisneverthat + GORE-TEX
The hunt for outerwear has officially begun, and there’s no better way of starting your search then with this collab from thisisneverthat. One of my favorite South Korean brands that consistently drop simple, easy to wear streetwear. Their newest collection with GORE-TEX is set to drop
The upcoming GORE-TEX collection is filled with solid, non-branded outerwear that will be so easy to insert into anyones daily style. I’m also enjoying the color palette for this collection in general. For sizing I suggest going with your true size when shopping at this brand in general.
The collection will be dropping on the thisisneverthat website on September 5th, at 9pm EDT.
PALACE + VIVIENNE WESTWOOD
A collaboration I was not expecting, but I love it. Overall I think the execution on this one was just right. The collection perfectly captured both sides which ended up merging into a pretty fun collection.
The full preview is available to view on the Palace website here.
Below are a few of my favorite standouts from the collection — that zip sweater is an absolute cop for me, the wallet is also a nice piece. I didn’t showcase the various accessories but there are a lot of good ones.
Full collection will be dropping this Friday, September 6th, on the Palace website.
DIME FALL ‘24
First off, a huge moment for anyone who follows skating out there. Andrew Reynolds is officially on the Dime team! Huge!! I’m not going into the lore here but if you know anything about skating then you know what significance Reynolds holds for the culture.
Anyway, the new Dime Fall ‘24 collection is just around the corner. Accessories this time around are pretty hot. Solid belts, wallets and the variety of beanies are going to leave my bank account empty, but it’s going to be worth it.
The lookbook is available to view here, and keep your eyes out on the Dime website when the collection drops on September 7th, at 1pm EST.
BRIGADE FALL ‘24
Blogging about clothing is fun, but seeing brands grow and evolve is the best part. I’ve been following Brigade for years and seeing them grow from when I first started following it to where it is now is honestly an incredible to watch — I’m simply happy for the homies, they continue to push their vision and it shows in each new collection. Really excited for them to continue on this stride of great releases recently, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
The new Fall ‘24 collection teasers have hit their gram recently and things are looking exciting. Crispy leather pieces and the knits are looking solid. It seems as though this might be a NYC exclusive drop. Hopefully we’ll see an online drop shortly after, but for those in the city keep your eyes peeled for the release on September 21st.
PARATODO FALL ‘24
It’s really not looking good for my wallet. The kings of wild patterns are back with a bunch of heat for us to enjoy. Paratodo is never shy when it comes to colors and patterns, and for someone who usually wears darker tones like myself, it’s fun to get sucked into their world — the stuff is great. It’s always fun to throw in a splash of color once in a while, and I find that Paratodo is one of the few brands that can get me to do so.
The collection is jam packed with great gear, and while I won’t highlight the whole thing I did decide to share an exclusive sneak peek of the collection that will be dropping on the Paratodo website on Friday, September 13th. Hit their Instagram here for even more photos.
REGAL SHOE&CO. + F/CE.
REGAL is back with another GORE-TEX footwear hit. This is a brand that has recently grabbed my attention and I’ve covered them before, but for our new readers it’s time to catch you up to speed. The Japanese based brand focuses on exclusively footwear, creating all of their products using the Goodyear welt method — so expect nothing but superior quality and durability from their products.
For their newest collection REGAL has linked up with F/CE. to bring a couple of various versions of their U-Tip lace ups. Ok, let me be real for you for one second. Goodyear welting + GORE-TEX is not cheap, but everything considered I still think these are priced really well in comparison other options in the same realm. This is a shoe you’re going to keep for 10+ years easily, or even longer if you take care of them properly.
These will be dropping on the REGAL website on September 9th. There is a US size conversion chart but from experience I suggest going with your true size. I do have narrow feet, but there seemed to be solid amount of room in the toebox.
BEAMS + ARC’TERYX
I don’t usually talk about Arc’teryx on the blog because of the whole memefication of the brand, but sometimes they collaborate on some heat that’s a bit too hard to ignore. Beams and Arc have a long relationship of creating various patchwork jackets that may seem like a trick that has been done a few too many times, but I don’t mind it that much.
I always enjoy a good earth tone palette, and patchwork is something that I will always have a soft spot for. Everyone always goes for the jackets, but that backpack might be a bigger hit if I’m being honest with you. As of right now, there is no release information, but I’ll keep you posted if anything changes.
AWAKE NY FALL ‘24
To close us out, I wanted to highlight the upcoming Fall collection from Awake NY, which I really think did a good job at executing a particular style that’s recognizable in New York City right now. Excited to see the full collection when it drops on Friday, September 6th at 1PM EST.
Imma buy like 2-3 items
Ok I’m in love with PARATODO
