He’s your “favorite influencer’s favorite influencer”.
Harlem-born street style icon Kerwin Frost wears many, many hats. From DJ to video producer to comedian to fashion designer to talk show host to viral internet sensation, Frost truly does it all. In 2015, Frost launched the NY-based youth artist collective “Spaghetti Boys”, a group of artists, musicians, and designers. Since its inception, Spaghetti Boys has collaborated with huge streetwear brands like Off-White. Over the years, Frost has channeled his creative energy into bigger (and crazier) design pursuits, including teaming up with the Three Stripes to create his own shoes.
Frost is now following up his 5X oversized black and white adidas “Superstuffed” kicks with something even more… outlandish? Absurd? INSANE?
Behold the friends and family version that comes with bundles. Yeah, that’s right. BUNDLES.
This collection features two exclusive sneakers: a Mr. Potato Head-esque “Headchives” Forum Hi and a vibrant color blocked “Benchmate” Forum Low. The former comes with detachable eyes, nose, and mouth pieces that can be moved around to your heart’s content. Royal blue pops on a bright white leather upper, topped off with a yellow “Kerwin Frost” logo on the tongue. The much more understated “Benchmate” features an animal cartoon character trio and a cartoonified version of Frost himself. A flashy blue and black tracksuit, two white graphic tees, drawstring shorts, denim jorts, and jackets round out the playful collection.
The inspiration behind the jolting collection is inspiring and heartfelt, much like the designer himself.
“My main message is to not be afraid to try new things and put your thoughts on paper and definitely not give a damn what people think,” said Frost in an official press release.
