The Weekly Brief ✨ Tradition Meets Wanderlust: Jonathan Anderson’s second menswear collection for Dior draws inspiration from the “aristo-youth” flâneur, blending the architectural codes of the House with the fluid, globally-influenced opulence of legendary couturier Paul Poiret.
👫 Bridging the Gap: The silhouettes explore a joyful blurring of gender lines and formal expectations, featuring lean, shrunken Bar jackets and elongated tailcoats paired unexpectedly with long johns and lavallière shirts.
❤️🩹 Not for the Faint of Heart: The collection utilizes a somber yet rich tactile narrative, where technical outerwear is elevated into the dramatic through the use of brocade capes, Donegal tweeds, and glistening embroidery.
 🪢 Weaving Greatness : The latest collaborative collection spans four Air Jordan 3s and a complementary apparel range that bridges craftsmanship and sportswear.
👑 The Man, The Myth, The Legend: Spike Lee, one of the campaign’s central figures, sat down with us to discuss the collaboration, reflect on the importance of work ethic, and revisit his early interactions with Michael Jordan.
🎥 Spike Lee: “You’re not going to be great every day. But when you wake up in the morning, that’s the goal. You have to put the work in to be great. You don’t just show up and be great.”
 📍 Taking Over the Continent: Last week, the NBA took over Berlin, Germany and London, UK, with a series of events leading up to the Memphis Grizzlies v Orlando Magic games through its NBA House spaces.
🏀 All-Rounder: From Nike-curated workshops and panel talks to 3×3 tournaments and the debut of Ja Morant’s player-exclusive signature sneaker, basketball fans got a holistic NBA experience beyond the main event.
🎤 We Got the Scoop: Hypebeast went behind the scenes to experience the energy of the events. As well as getting exclusive access to the team’s practice sessions and sitting courtside to get a glimpse of who’s who – here’s what we captured from our time in both cities.
