April was yet another action-packed month in the streetwear world. Supreme dropped their highly anticipated 25th anniversary collection while BAPE, Palace, and Kith continued their quality, regular drops. It was a great month for collectibles too, as Bearbricks finally made their way onto StockX and Kaws dropped one of his hottest figures in years. Scroll down to check out what we added this month and don’t forget to click the photos to shop.

The KAWS monthly release streak looks like it may never end. The artist dropped yet another limited collectible in April, releasing the Pink BFF Plush, the final of the three BFF colorways. While not quite as dapper as the Dior version, the pink plush was still popular, fetching over three hundred sales and a 300% price premium. The Pink KAWS BFF Plush can be shopped on StockX here.
Bearbrick
One of the most notable streetwear catalog additions in April was the entire 400% and 1000% Bearbrick catalog. Featuring collaborative collectibles from the likes of BAPE, Atmos, The Andy Warhol Foundation, Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and more. Each and every Bearbrick of the 400% and 1000% variety can be shopped on StockX. We’ve curated a few of our favorites below, but you can shop the whole catalog on StockX, here.
Sunday Service
Over the last few months, Kanye West’s Sunday Service has been something of an internet phenomenon. The recurring (and often travelling) event has become a staple in Kanye’s recent array of public appearances and performances. In April, Kanye took his church choir/hip hop concert hybrid to Coachella, where he’d perform alongside DMX and Chance The Rapper. Naturally, the performance was accompanied by the opportunity to buy merch, first offered only at the venue, but later listed for sale via Yeezy Supply. Highlights from the merch collection include the Oxen colorway of the Holy Spirit Crewneck that gives off some interesting tie dye vibes and the Holy Spirit Long Sleeve Tee, featuring flames on the arms and body. The whole merch collection can be shopped on StockX, here.
FOG Nike

Late in April, after what seemed like a nonstop press train after their first release, Fear of God and Nike finally dropped the most recent iteration of their apparel collection alongside two new sneakers. The highly limited collection started trading on StockX almost immediately, with the Warm Up Pants kicking things off as one of the best selling streetwear items the weekend of its release. The whole capsule can be shopped here.
Other Collectibles
Bearbricks aren’t the only adds to our catalog as far as collectibles go. April was a massively busy month for us as we looked to curate a comprehensive yet relevant collectible section as a part of our catalog. Other new collectible adds included: Matt Gondek’s 2018 ComplexCon Exclusives, Hebru Brantley’s multiple collectibles with Billionaire Boys Club, Louis De Guzman’s Elevate Vinyl Figure, several Steven Harrington figures, Tom Sachs’ “Japan Deck” Playing Cards, and a host of new Takashi Murakami collectibles, including his limited Billie Eilish figure.

Slowly but surely, it seems every cool kid in Soho is wear double E’s on their pants, head, or chest. Eric Emanuel’s namesake brand has become popular over the last year for their colorful shorts and more recently, the brand’s collaborative relationship with adidas. Their first collaborative release took place last year, on December 7th, featuring just shoes. In April, the brands came together for both footwear and apparel, releasing sweatpants, polos, hoodies, and more. The full collection can be shopped on StockX, here, as well as several pairs of his highly coveted shorts.
