Chinese Hypebeasts Come To Blows Over KAWS x Uniqlo Collection [Video]

KAWS x Uniqlo 2019

Remember when you had to be ready to knuckle up at a sneaker camp out in the United States? Well China is bringing those feels back in 2019.

As spotted on High Snobiety the recent launch of the highly anticipated KAWS x Uniqlo drop caused a real scene at a Chinese retail location. So much so that consumers sprinted into the mall location. Even before the gate was lifted fans crawled in to get first dibs. The frenzy was so lit that they eventually started ripping the wears right off the mannequins.

While this is nothing we haven’t seen at a Black Friday sale things went left rather quickly when some shifty shoppers couldn’t cop their wish list. Footage shows one individual tussling with another male in an effort to rip the t-shirt right off him.

The KAWS x Uniqlo collection sold out immediately online when it was originally released on Monday evening, China time. Thankfully there is more to go around as it is also hitting Europe on June 6. More clips from the madness below.

The MacBook despite the rising popularity of Apple’s tablet the iPad is still a staple among today’s popular culture and to celebrate the importance of the device Apple unveiled its new “Behind The Mac” ad featuring celebrities and other famous creatives to hammer home that point.

Apple kicked off the campaign earlier this year with in-depth videos highlighting Grimes and blind photographer Bruce Hall and how the MacBook was influential for them on their creative journeys.

The new ad is a beautiful/powerful montage and highlights big names such as Oprah, Anna Wintour, Lena Waithe, Virgil Abloh, Serena Williams, KAWS, Paul McCartney, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Dave Grohl, legendary tea sipping muppet Kermit The Frog as well as children and up and coming creatives with their MacBooks right by their side.
