FTP
Early on in December, StockX added a new brandās full winter collection…and that brand was FTP. The add proved fruitful when the brand announced their collaboration with Undefeated shortly thereafter. The promotional video for the collaboration was announced via a video of the Lock Out Kit being used to aid in a “re-entry” of a Range Rover and Lamborghini that is in no way āunlawfulā. With the two big releases added in December, FTPās StockX debut was larger than most brands. Shop FTP on StockX here.
