What's going on good people? We've got another week of drops that are very fun releases to look forward to as we inch closer and closer to the official start of the summer of the season. The NBA Finals are still going on along with preparations for the NBA Draft, so we'll keep you post on any merch drops in relation to those two things these next couple of weeks. Also, Father's Day is next Sunday, so now would be a good time to start looking at gifts for dad if you haven't already. As far as this week goes, MARNI's FW 2023 collection is the highlight of our drop list as this is a dope collection that we've been anticipating for a while, along with the release of Nike's collab with Stüssy on the Vandal High. You can find out more info on the release along with our other drop selections below.
