DJ Khaled & SNIPES Come Together for a Capsule of Streetwear Staples

SNIPES and DJ Khaled have teamed up once again for a sharp and considered capsule collection of streetwear staples for the summer months.

The DJ Khaled * SNIPES collection riffs off the music mogul and social media star’s hometown of Miami, with pieces heavily inspired by the breezy beach, bball and football jerseys that keep you cool by the coast, while pops of turquoise and orange nod to the iconic buildings and colors that define Miami Beach.

The highlights are two light quarter-zip tracksuits in white and black with the turquoise and orange color gradients, backed by the SNIPES ’98 football jersey along with its matching SNIPES 98 shorts (also available in white and black). Two SNIPES essentials round off the drop: the SNIPES pocket tee in bright orange with small patch pocket, and the snow-white SNIPES basic logo hoodie, featuring SNIPES’ iconic black logo lettering across the chest.

7 High-End Skate & Surfboards For Serious Collectors

You may recall our recent coverage of a particularly flex-worthy skateboard and surfboard from none other than Chanel. The boards – priced at $7,700 and $8,900 respectively – were made from lacquered wood, shiny glass, and aluminum, and featured the late Karl Lagerfeld’s iconic interlocking Cs. But Chanel isn’t the only brand with high-end boards to gawk in amazement at.

Whether you’re looking to flex on the waves or at your local skate park, or you’re simply looking to blow some cash on an insane collector’s piece, there are plenty of ways to invest in this sphere.

From French erotic illustrator Petites Luxures – who released a limited series of three skateboards featuring the artist’s “The 3 Graces” print, paying homage to Greek goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite– to Diptych Surfboards, who designed two surfboards with a print of François Boucher’s “The Triumph of Venus” painting from 1740, an even more limited edition of only 10 sets. What’s more, the latter designs are hand-made in France, coming with hooks to hang them on your wall if you’re too scared to scuff a $3,780 board out at sea.
