Staple uses mesh nylons, patterned polyesters, yarn-dyed jerseys and chambrays to make the transition from heavy outerwear to light, breathable casual wear for the warmer months ahead. This collection introduces a new collaboration with British artist Dave White who incorporated his stylized brush strokes into the brand’s signature pigeon. The collection is also home to a collaboration with Jack Stocker — recognized for his minimal, iconic sneaker illustrations – who takes the Jordan 1, Air Max 90 and Staple x Nike Dunks and puts them onto graphic T-shirts. Additionally, the second delivery of the collection will include a polarized, laser-etched Knockaround Sunglasses collaboration that features the signature Staple colorway of grey and pink. The Spring 2014 collection will be available at select retailers beginning February 5.
