Stüssy x Denim Tears Collection
Denim Tears and Stüssy are back at it, joining forces for a fresh collaborative collection that blends heritage, culture, and streetwear sensibilities. The upcoming release was first teased by Stüssy insider Dion Lewis, who shared glimpses of the highly anticipated pieces on his Instagram Story—immediately sparking buzz across the fashion scene.
Led by Tremaine Emory, Denim Tears brings its signature storytelling through patterns, colour, and text, seamlessly fusing with Stüssy’s unmistakable aesthetic. Standout pieces include co-branded designs featuring the iconic cotton wreath pattern, which merges to form the Stüssy moniker. The motif makes a statement across khaki chinos. At the same time, other key items teased include a brown collared shirt emblazoned with “Jamaican High,” a co-branded t-shirt, a belt, and a camo-patterned messenger bag or duffle.
After weeks of anticipation, the entire collection has been revealed—boasting a 17-piece lineup inspired by Emory’s high school years in Jamaica, Queens. The range reinterprets uniform-inspired staples, such as blazers, cardigans, chinos, and messenger bags, infusing them with bold graphics and symbolic elements. Notable designs include the Double S Wreath and the Pan-African American flag, which celebrate the cultural identities in which both brands are deeply rooted. Additionally, the collection pays homage to the game of Spades, featuring Annie Lee’s painting Six No Uptown, a powerful reflection of African Diaspora artistry and tradition.
The collection ranges from $55 to USD 650 and will be available on February 14 at 10 a.m. PST/1 p.m. EST via Stüssy and Denim Tears’ websites and select flagship stores. Expect pieces to sell out fast, so mark your calendars and move quickly.
