Etta Loves x Keith Haring

Keep your baby wrapped and radiant with the Etta Loves x Keith Haring, a muslin baby blanket patterned in Haring’s iconic Radiant Baby figures. The flip side pattern is Haring’s multi-colored Brazil, with both sides scaled and colored (by an expert orthoptist) to enhance visual and cognitive development. Stylish and smarty-pants.

Tom Sachs x Nikecraft General Purpose Shoe GPS

For performance art on the go, take a peek at Sach’s sneaker collabs for Nikecraft. Since 2012, Sach has been designing sneakers for Nikecraft and in 2022, he launched the GPS as the most basic sneaker declaring “Your sneakers shouldn’t be the most exciting thing about you”. Funny thing is that along with being comfortable, the GPS are too cool to be norm core, especially with the artist-signed tags. To get your hands on a pair, stalk the SNKRS app for the latest launch.
