But don't get it twisted. In recent years, we’ve seen the brand rejuvenate its image and secure a place in the fashion conversation through cool collabs with brands like Palace and campaigns with some of music’s biggest stars like Mariah the Scientist.

In this photo, we see that Pharrell pulled up to the premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 with a fit that’s low-key better than the movie itself. A heather grey Billionaire Boys Club hoodie, OD beads running down from his neck to his wrist, and some distressed denim jeans perfectly complement the real centerpiece of this fit. Yessir, a classic pair of sheepskin Ugg boots made in collaboration with Junya Watanabe. No surprises there.

They do different colors and stuff but the flames, that was dope,” Yachty told Dazed when asked about the collaboration.
