In this week’s biggest fashion headlines, athletic and lifestyle brands flex healthy growth and monumental partnerships, Japanese brands expand horizons while looking back nostalgically, and innovation comes to the fore with new creative appointments and material applications. While Amer Sports , the owner of Salomon and Arc’teryx , reports impressive growth, Fear of God ESSENTIALS leans further into its sportswear roots with a multi-year NBA partnership. As BAPE celebrates 20 years of its iconic hoodie with an expansive re-issue, PLEATS PLEASE ISSEY MIYAKE places itself among cutting-edge fashion neighbors in NYC. Crocs is doubling down on creative evolution with the appointment of Steven Smith to an innovation-focussed role, and lastly, Stone Island unveils new applications of its thermosensitive technologies. Below, Hypebeast has rounded up the top fashion stories of the week so you can stay up to date on trends in the industry. Salomon and Arc’teryx Owner Amer Sports Reports Major Boost in Q3 Report Salomon Amer Sports , the parent company of Salomon , Arc’teryx and Wilson , has released a redemptive Q3 report, rebounding strongly from a lackluster February IPO with major growth across its portfolio. Amer Sports’ latest report showed revenue increasing by 17% year-over-year totaling $1.4 billion–on track with the raised guidance issued in the second quarter. Additionally, the report showed that the company’s net income grew to 257% over the prior year to $56 million, leading toward full-year sales growth between 16-17%. The company saw outstanding growth in China, where its largest individual shareholder Anta Sports is based. As competitors in the apparel space continue to post varying results towards the year’s close, market trends signals a shift toward hobbyist and activity-based spending rather than luxury for luxury’s sake. Fear of God ESSENTIALS Announces Multi-Year NBA and WNBA Partnership Fear Of God Essentials Fear of God , headed by Jeremy Lorenzo has announced a multi-year partnership with the NBA and WNBA under its ESSENTIALS label. In addition to marking a major milestone for the streetwear purveyor, it establishes a new level of collaboration between sports culture and streetwear brands. On the partnership, Lorenzo said “Sport shapes and informs the emotion, point of view, and the very fabric of what we do and who we are as a brand. Our nuanced understanding of this space and its parallels to fashion are embedded in our DNA. It is truly an honor to embark on a multi-year partnership with the league, collaborating with franchises across the NBA and WNBA.” The first installment of the partnership will celebrate the brand’s connection with basketball with an apparel capsule repping the league’s many teams including, the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, New York Knicks, Chicago Sky, Los Angeles Sparks and New York Liberty. Fear of God motifs will appear across the collection, which includes signature silhouettes printed with each team’s monikers. The forthcoming Fear of God ESSENTIALS x NBA collection will launch on Fear of God starting on November 20 and NBA on November 27. Steven Smith Hired as Head of Creative Innovation at Crocs Brad Barket/Fast Company/Getty Images With names like New Balance , adidas , Reebok , FILA , and Nike on Steven Smith ‘s roster of collaborators over his almost 40-year career, it’s no wonder Crocs is tapping him for Head of Creative Innovation. Following his termination by Ye during the adidas YEEZY conflict, Smith will now focus attention on pushing the legendary foam clog brand into the future. In his new role, Smith will be responsible for designing for both the Crocs brand and sub-label HEYDUDE . According to the official announcement from Crocs, the company hopes Smith’s creative vision will conceive novel silhouettes and evolve its brands’ distinct design aesthetics. “I have a penchant for taking design to new places and I’m grateful for the opportunity to bring my knowledge and expertise to these storied brands,” Smith shared in a statement. “There is incredible potential to explore new forms and functionalities across the company’s iconic product portfolio and continue pushing boundaries through innovation,” he continued. BAPE Is Bringing Back the Original Shark Hoodie Bape To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the coveted streetwear staple, A Bathing Ape will reissue the Shark Full-Zip Hoodie. The first and second editions of the iconic design will be made available in an array of archival colorways and with all the original design details including the face-covering zip hood and the original sharp-toothed mascot. In a statement, the brand said “This hoodie has always represented the freedom to stand out, brought to life through creativity and Japanese craftsmanship.” “The Shark Full-Zip Hoodie is not just a garment; it is a bold reinterpretation of everyday wear and an innovative take on the silhouettes of elevated streetwear,” they continued. The first-edition Word Gone Mad (WGM) design includes the old FrankenApe design details along with the original woodland camo print across a set of five colorways. Across the back of the hood, the second-edition hoodie features the Point Of No Return (PONR) graphic originating in 2005, and boasts a special thermal lining for the winter months.

The jacket is made with a lightweight nylon rep in two colorways: a beige “Dove Grey” and a blueish “Green Gray.” Once exposed to cool air, the Dove Gray reveals orange undertones, while the Green Gray shows a muted shade of indigo. The extensive range of additional styles includes cargo pants, half-zip fleeces, down vests, tees and sweatshirts. While the cotton canvas underlayers do not share the color-changing properties of the Ice Jacket, they continue the new camouflage patterns in varying silhouettes.

Over 20,000 jobs for working families are at risk in California’s Inland Empire. The reason? Fallout from a regulation raising concerns amongst businesses, labor groups, government officials, and even environmental advocates . Let’s take a step back. Founded over 50 years ago, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has been a world leader in air pollution control, smog reduction, and climate science. And the air across Southern California is better for it. However, CARB’s new “In-Use Locomotive Regulation,” mandating railroads like Union Pacific and BNSF set aside hundreds of millions of dollars today for the technology of the future, risks undermining this precarious balance. While the goal of reducing emissions is commendable, the technology required to meet this mandate is not yet commercially viable to move freight across the country. BNSF has said that its planned $1.5 billion investment in the Barstow International Gateway (BIG) is in jeopardy if the regulation moves forward. As a result, this regulation could jeopardize over 20,000 direct and indirect jobs in the high desert. BNSF plans to develop the 4,500-acre Barstow rail yard, intermodal facility and warehouses for transloading freight project in the next few years, creating thousands of jobs and reducing truck miles traveled from the 130-mile trip from the ports to the Inland Empire along the Interstate 15 corridor. The project would also reduce vehicle miles traveled up and down the Cajon Pass from high desert residents who would have job opportunities closer to home. However, the costs of complying with the regulation and transitioning to non-existent technology would divert capital and resources from railroads, threatening the viability of significant investments like BIG. The potential loss of the BIG project would deal a significant blow to the local economy, particularly to the working families in the region. Moreover, over 86,000 businesses and one in nine jobs in Southern California connected to the San Pedro Bay Port Complex depend on efficient rail connections. Maintaining these connections is essential for the region’s growth and stability and we cannot afford increased traffic congestion and carbon emissions from continuing to force freight onto highways.

Commentary | As Los Angeles prepares for Olympics, transportation money gets shuffled toward fiber network Commentary | Democrats welcome Trump ‘the fascist’ with open arms Freight rail, which is responsible for 40 percent of U.S. long-distance freight but only 1.7% of transportation emissions, is one of our most efficient means of moving goods. BIG is also touted to be a state-of-the-art answer to many of the regional and national supply chain issues we’ve all felt over the last several years as our ports have been winning back trade from importers because they are rail connected. While the goals of CARB’s locomotive rule are aligned with our shared commitment to addressing climate change, the regulation’s timing and feasibility are out of step with current technological realities. Our organizations agree with CARB on this: we see a path forward for zero emissions locomotives; we need to convene to align timing, technology, and transition. As Californians, we understand the urgency of transitioning to a zero-emission future, but we must also ensure that our policies support both environmental and economic sustainability. By aligning climate goals with technological capabilities, we can protect jobs, support economic growth, and continue to lead in the fight against climate change while maintaining good jobs for working families in our region. Jon Switalski is the executive director of the Rebuild SoCal Partnership. Sarah Wiltfong is the chief public policy and advocacy officer at the Supply Chain CouncilWASHINGTON — There were no trays of cheeseburgers and other fast-food items stacked on a table at the White House on Thursday as President Joe Biden welcomed the reigning NBA champion Boston Celtics. That could soon change, however, with the return of Donald Trump. It was less than six years ago, in January 2019, when that surreal scene greeted the college football champion Clemson Tigers in the executive mansion’s ornate State Dining Room. Trump, still in his overcoat after returning from a day trip, welcomed the squad with a spread of McDonald’s and Wendy’s delicacies on silver platters that the White House said he personally paid for — as a portrait of a pensive-looking Abraham Lincoln hung in the center of the room. One longtime political observer could not stop laughing when asked last week about some of Trump’s Cabinet and senior staff picks, before contending: “The country’s getting what it signed up for.” That, in part, would be the return of an avid sports fan who has not been afraid to weigh in on or directly influence sporting matters. Alabama GOP Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who noted he has “played a lot of golf” with the president-elect, said there was “not a bigger supporter of sports than President Trump.” “I think he’s gonna be very hands-on,” the former college football coach said, but with a caveat: “But you’ve got to look at ... all the things that he’s got to do — his first 100 days are going to be packed.” Trump, as he did in the first term, will likely not be shy about making political hay out of sports moments and issues that become broader cultural matters, as he did with athletes kneeling during the national anthem and, more recently, calling for the NFL to change its new kickoff rule, which is designed for player safety. But he will likely also have a role to play on several topics that could be on lawmakers’ radar come January. “In the second Trump presidency, I expect lots of sports dealmaking, and I expect sports to get more political again,” Daniel Roberts, editor in chief of Front Office Sports, a business-focused newsletter, wrote earlier this month . “American sports leagues should buckle up.” “You cannot ‘stick to sports’ when the president of the United States has deep ties to sports,” Roberts added, “and you cannot separate President Trump from his sports ties.” The possible list of issues includes a House-passed measure that would give the Washington, D.C., government control of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium site. If the Senate does not send that measure to Biden’s desk before Jan. 20, both chambers could take it up again in the new Congress, giving Trump, a big football fan, a big say in the stadium’s fate next year. (The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee sent the House version of the legislation, without amendments, to the chamber floor in a 17-2 vote earlier this week.) Lawmakers from both parties have for two years expressed concerns about a potential professional golf merger between the U.S.-based PGA Tour and the Saudi-owned LIV Golf. Outside of holding a few hearings, members have not yet found the right clubs in the legislative bag that might give them a collective say over the slow-moving merger talks. Would avid golfer Trump be too focused on other things during his first few months in office? “I wouldn’t be so sure,” Roberts quipped in his opinion piece. After all, Trump has hosted several LIV tournaments at his Florida and New Jersey golf clubs. And about the PGA-LIV merger talks, he recently told sportscaster Jim Gray and NFL coaching legend Bill Belichick on the “Let’s Go!” podcast that “it would take me the better part of 15 minutes to get that deal done.” One Democratic Senate Judiciary member who has been against the proposed merger had a warning for Trump: “I don’t think a president should be involved in any private business deal,” Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Thursday. “The question is whether the Saudis would use it to ‘sports-wash’ its image,” he said, referring to a term for the usage of sports by governments and other entities to improve their global reputations. In June 2023, Blumenthal called the joining of the American-based and Saudi-funded golf leagues a “national security threat,” saying he was “extremely worried” about it. But Tuberville said he is confident that Trump “wants to be the intermediary to do it,” adding: “ He’d be the perfect one to do that deal.” Tuberville also dropped another potential sports issue on the president-elect’s list: college football conferences allowing players to be compensated for use of their name, image and likeness, or NIL, for short. “We’ve got to do something for college football, with all this NIL,” the Alabama Republican said. “We’ve got to do something for college sports.” A Thursday throwback As was the case Thursday under a setting autumn sun on a crisp late-November afternoon, Biden has opted to keep such White House sports celebrations much more mundane. Or, rather, a lot more by-the-protocol-book and in keeping with decades of pre-Trumpian tradition. Jazz tunes played on the South Lawn as invited guests and White House aides held cups of a warm beverage to keep their hands warm. Biden touted the Celtics’ rich championship history and dropped a self-deprecating joke about his own age. As Massachusetts lawmakers and other bigwigs looked on, the celebratory event was brief and highly scripted, as reporters whispered to each other about how such low-key episodes might soon give way for Trump-focused spectacles once again. Trump’s forays into sports have not always paid off. Take his attempt in November 2019 to convince Louisiana State University college football fans to back the Republican candidate in that month’s gubernatorial election. At a rally in Monroe, Trump had touted his upcoming appearance at a game between LSU and the University of Alabama: “I’m a football fan. I hear you have a great quarterback. We’re going to see him,” he said of Joe Burrow, then the star quarterback of the second-ranked Tigers. “But I’m actually going to the game. I said: ‘That’s the game I want to go to.’” “Two great teams, two great teams that I look forward to,” Trump said to cheers from the pro-LSU crowd, who booed each time the No. 3 Crimson Tide was mentioned. He then touted the GOP businessman challenging the incumbent Democratic governor:: “So, I came to get you for early voting for Eddie Rispone.” A month earlier, Republican candidates had combined for a majority of the vote in the first round of voting in the gubernatorial jungle primary. But Rispone went on to lose to Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, in the runoff. Not that such a setback is likely to deter the incoming sports fan in chief. “Sports, that’s a big part of our country and our culture,” Tuberville said. “I mean, the Olympics, they’re coming here during his [second] term, right? And the World Cup will be here, right? All of that is coming. Obviously, he’s got a lot of other things to do, but I hope he will get involved.” ©2024 CQ-Roll Call, Inc., All Rights Reserved.
