Highsnobiety
Double Tap to Zoom

In today's episode of The Dropcast, Jeff Carvalho, Jian DeLeon, Noah Thomas, and Chris Danforth tackle the question of the week: How long until we see a streetwear brand sponsor a major sports team? The writing's on the wall already: Angelique Gerber rocked adidas x Palace and won Wimbledon, France won the World Cup and one of its star players, Kylian Mbappe, already rocked Virgil Abloh's Off-White x Nike boots during his time at Paris Saint-Germain. Are we really that far off from seeing deals like Thom Browne sponsoring FC Barcelona and the Cleveland Cavaliers play out with streetwear brands?

Of course, like every week, savvy listeners who call in on the Dropcast Hotline (833-HIGHSNOB) weigh in with their own hot takes—and we're very surprised at what they have to say. Meanwhile, we also rate and review the latest drops and collections, from J.W. Anderson's toy-inspired Converse collaboration to Dries Van Noten's latest collection of marble-printed parkas, utilizing a process previously reserved for textiles.
