The Rise of Cowboy Couture, Sneaking into the Met Gala, & More YEEZY GAP Engineered by Balenciaga
It's the weekend, baby!
This week we've seen plenty of releases, including Stüssy x Nike's Air Force 1 Mid sneakers, a patchwork collection by Human Made, JJJJound x New Balance 990v3, Pleasures x Dr. Martens, and plenty of others.
Additionally, we launched Highsnobiety Sports, which includes plenty of fun collaborations. From Jack Wolfskin to Satisfy Running, we've got you covered whether you're hiking a mountainous trail or lounging on your sofa.
We also threw a great party in Amsterdam and launched a whole new branch there.
Elsewhere, we saw a drop from Acne Studios' FACE collection, goop's weird luxury diaper prank, logo overload with Fendace, and Burberry announcing a collaboration with Pop Trading Company.
To make sure you don't miss anything, we've rounded up this week's biggest news for you to sit down, relax, and catch up.

The TikToker Who Almost Snuck Into the Met Gala Would Like a Word With Anna Wintour
"On the first Monday in May, Brenna Lip had a blonde wig, a MacGyvered press pass, and a plan to sneak into the 2022 Met Gala. Lip, the self-described "queen of sneaking into things," built her massive TikTok following (828,000, to be exact) with seriously stealthy skill.
Young Thug’s YSL Has Nothing To Do With Yves Saint Laurent
"No, Yves Saint Laurent isn't involved in any criminal scandal (at least, not to my knowledge).
