There are few brands in the streetwear space killing it with such consistency as Stüssy. The California streetwear brand’s Fall/Winter 2022 season is quietly rolling on, letting the clothes do the talking. After a summer of collaborations with Cactus Plant Flea Market and Nike, the brand has not been heavy on the partnerships this fall, opting instead for their own well-designed Fall/Winter must-haves. One of those must-haves is the sold-out Stüssy 8 Ball Sherpa Reversible Jacket, which features the brand’s iconic 8 Ball logo on its backside in an intarsia graphic.
If you’re looking to grab this season’s best light outer layer, the Stüssy 8 Ball Sherpa Reversible Jacket might just be the one. Made from a 100% Polyester Fleece material with a nylon lining that doubles as a reversible shell, the jacket is made for mild to slightly chilly weather. In terms of colourways, the Sherpa Jacket was made available in three different colours, Orange, Natural, and Green, all of which sold out. The jacket also features the brand’s iconic 8 Ball logo, which has been given its fair share of shine this year.
Stüssy’s 8 Ball logo has been one of the brand’s most used in 2022. So far, the logo has been used in two different collaborations, one with Nike, where it appeared on a t-shirt and with Cactus Plant Flea Market, where it appeared on a hoodie. For the brand’s Nike collaboration, the pairing replaced the number 8 on the 8 Ball with a Swoosh, delivering a must-have collectible for any Stüssy fan. Additionally, the brand has released several colourways of its traditional and iconic Stüssy 8 Ball T-shirt.
Stüssy’s 8 Ball Sherpa Reversible Jacket is a piece that uniquely integrates one of the brand’s most iconic logos into its design. The intarsia knit graphic seamlessly fits into the rest of the polyester fleece jacket and leads one to wonder what other kinds of interesting pieces Stüssy has been releasing. The answer to that inquiry would be “a lot.” Over the last year or two, Stüssy has delivered a number of designs that seem unconventional to the traditional streetwear offering. Though this fleece fits well into the traditional streetwear ethos, Stüssy has been at the forefront of mesh and see-through apparel pieces.
This season alone, they’ve delivered two mesh tops, a mesh zip hoodie, and several loose gauge sweaters that are relatively transparent. Additionally, the brand has taken up mohair as what seems to be one of their favourite materials. Last fall they debuted the mohair Stüssy Shaggy Cardigan, which received two new colours this season. The material has also been used on several other pieces this season from tennis sweaters to their Tigris Print Sweater. If you’re looking to expand your wardrobe beyond the traditional streetwear aesthetic in a way that’s both tasteful and more affordable than luxury brands, Stüssy is the way to go.
