The Air Jordan 1 Patent Breds have finally arrived. Teased throughout all of 2021, the shiny sneakers bring a new twist to the classic Jordan 1 colourway and show the staying power that the black and red combo has for the Jumpman. Such an iconic colourway deserves to be met with the appropriate fit to match. StockX is here to help you curate A Perfect Fit.

The Air Jordan 1 Patent Bred was arguably one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year. The 36-year-old colourway plays a major role within Jordan Brand’s lineage, as the sneaker was one of the first to introduce Michael Jordan’s now-legendary line. Outside of Michael Jordan’s gravity-defying tricks and impeccable skills that showcased the AJ1, it was the Bred colourway’s “Banned” story that helped lead the sneaker into stardom. The tall-tale of the Breds was a marketing stunt from Nike that led the public to believe that the sneaker was truly banned from the NBA for its colours. And even though that story has since been proven to be false, the fact that it continues to be told for years after its debut shows the colourway’s impact on sneaker and streetwear culture. Whenever the colourway makes an appearance on the Jordan 1 High, it leads headlines and starts building hype the minute it is even rumoured to drop, making this year’s iteration a big deal. Make sure to come correct and meet the Jordan 1s with the respect they deserve with an appropriate fit that makes the kicks shine even more.

Supreme The North Face Faux Fur Nuptse Jacket

Time to get the big coats out as winter is upon us. Some are experiencing the first snowfall of the season so it’s important to be well equipped while looking your best. Supreme’s ongoing partnership with The North Face helps fulfil those two needs with their 2020 collaboration. Comprised of bright red fur throughout, this Supreme TNF Faux Fur Nuptse jacket comes with the usual 700-fill down insulation, keeping you warm during the expectedly cold winter. Further locking in heat is a cinchable hem and two adjustable cuffs. And with The North Face and Supreme logo patches on the right sleeve, the jacket carries the right amount of clout for the Air Jordan 1s. 

Fear of God ESSENTIALS Core Collection Sweatpant Stretch Limo

Another year of staying inside has made us cling to loungewear. And if you’re done wearing regular jeans and trousers, then look no further than your new favourite sweats, courtesy of Fear of God ESSENTIALS. The Fear of God ESSENTIALS Core Collection Sweatpant Stretch Limo is your answer for fall comfort. To help keep in all that warmth, elastic cuffs wrap around the ankles and waist. Long drawstring on the waist and FoG branding throughout lets people know that you’re up on trends.

 

BAPE 1st Camo Shark Zip Hoodie 

Darker greens are a great complementary colour to the striking red hits on the Air Jordan 1 Patent Bred, and you can find such colours from the classic BAPE Camo Shark hoodie. The Camo Shark hoodie helped put BAPE on the map as one of the top streetwear brands of the 21st century. Since its arrival, the Camo hoodie has been made popular by celebrities like Lil Wayne and Future. The signature BAPE Camo can be seen throughout, while printed graphics that mimic fighter plane insignias on the hood bring a pop of colour to the relatively muted army green garment. And don’t worry about the camo, everyone will be able to see how well this BAPE hoodie pairs with the Breds – you will not disappear into the background.

 

StĂŒssy x CPFM Heart Hoodie

Make the return to hoodie weather a special one with StĂŒssy and Cactus Plant Flea Market. Both California-based brands came together on a capsule of products including this boldly stated black hoodie. Pairing StĂŒssy’s love for avant-garde graphics and CPFM’s classic puff-prints, the Heart Hoodie features a large heart graphic with StĂŒssy and CPFM printed across. The graphic is printed on StĂŒssy’s soft cotton hoodie blanks, which are used for some of their popular designs, like their World Tour and 8 Ball graphics. This hoodie is warm and full, just like your heart will be as you get to experience the fall season the right way and jump into the biggest leaf pile you can find.

Yeezy x GAP Hoodie Red

Kanye West’s long-awaited Yeezy x GAP partnership is finally coming to fruition and the fruit is sweet. The collaboration’s first hoodies released in September, but with such high demand, you’ll typically be waiting for 4-8 weeks for yours to arrive. Luckily on StockX, Yeezy x GAP hoodies are always in stock and shipped by sellers within 3 days. As far as coziness goes, the hoodies are hard to beat. Made with a double-layered cotton construction, the hoodies are very heavy and it may feel like you’re even wearing something like a weighted blanket at times. As far as fit goes, these hoodies are also cropped relatively short, so be sure to size up if you’re looking for an oversized look.

StĂŒssy Dice Mohair Sweater 

Mohair sweaters have become more and more popular within streetwear culture. From brands like Off-White to Supreme, many of streetwear’s favourites have added the fuzzy material onto this year’s most popular apparel. Adding to that list is StĂŒssy and their Dice Mohair sweater from this past September. A part of their Fall/Winter collection, this knitted piece features StĂŒssy’s popular dice theme on the forefront of this mohair piece. It’s a thick sweater that is sure to keep you well heated during the winter, and not to mention stepping out clean with the Patent Bred 1s.

Louis Vuitton Chain Bracelet Engraved Monogram

If the sneakers don’t bring enough shine to your fit, add this Chain Bracelet from Louis Vuitton. This Monogram bracelet was designed under the creative direction of the late great Virgil Abloh, as the designer brought a streetwear approach to the luxury house. The Chain Bracelet features LV’s classic monogram engraved on each link. And although it’s an opulent piece, its subtle look will only bring an additional level of luxe to your fit, while not taking too much away from the Jordan 1 Patent Breds.

Telfar Shopping Bag Small Dark Olive

It doesn’t get any better than the traditional Telfar Shopping Bag. The Bushwick Birkin is made from 100% vegan leather and, most of the time, it’s offered in three different sizes. This Dark Olive colourway was released earlier this year, capitalizing on the converging plant and health and wellness trends dominating TikTok and Instagram. For so many, different shades of green are the colours to wear right now and if you’re looking for an accessory that’ll do the heavy lifting for you, this small Shopping Bag has you covered.

Chrome Hearts CH Hollywood Trucker Hat

The hold that Chrome Hearts has on the streetwear community seemed to almost come out of nowhere. Chrome Hearts has been around since 1988, but the brand saw an uptick in appreciation in recent years. One of their more popular items is their Trucker Hat, which is like a combination of luxe-meet-trucker chic. The crown of the hat features pure sterling silver studs, a common metal used within many of Chrome Heart’s most iconic pieces. Chrome Hearts logo and crosses in their classic gothic font emblazon the front patch of the hat, bringing additional attention to your outfit.Â
