NOAH x UNION – It must be nice to be friends with Chris Gibbs because Brendon Baenzien slapped some phrases across a few T-shirts, and created a collection. I’m joking of course (but, not really). Brendon is best known for his fifteen years at Supreme. With him at the helm, the brand continued to grow organically, and when he started NOAH, the stakes were high. NOAH took a brief hiatus, and is back now with a commemorative collection with one of the stalwarts of streetwear – UNION. The collection is simple and clean, but ultimately lacking. I’m sure great things are to come, but this has been a bit of a let down.
