Longtime friend and family member of the Stüssy tribe A$AP Nast is known for getting his hands on the coolest of garments earlier than the average consumer.

His Instagram is worth a follow for that reason alone, as it usually gives a sneak peak of everything Stüssy related and was the first place we saw their last few collabs with Our Legacy. Now, it’s a preview of the Californian brand's next big name partnership, courtesy of the A$AP Mob rapper, that’s got Stüssy heads feeling hot and heavy.
Dries Van Noten is seemingly the culprit behind the upcoming partnership, another contemporary designer from Europe, keeping in line with Stüssy’s favour towards the likes of fellow EU members Our Legacy, who have proven to be a worthy companion for the L.A based lifestyle brand, through many successful releases.

The teaser didn’t give much away, other than showing that the collaboration will likely be print-heavy, which comes as a surprise, considering Dries’ sartorial background, alongside the minimalistic route Stüssy has followed in recent years.
Since the initial preview, Stüssy themselves have dropped a short video that showcases an illuminati style varsity jacket, with the caption “c-ya soon”.

Stay tuned for a full break-down of the upcoming collaboration.
