Here’s another collaboration with Sesame Street, and this time it’s with KAWS and UNIQLO. The UNIQLO shirts already released (and pretty much sold out), but there’s a winter line approaching featuring colder weather clothing. But along with the clothing are these plush toys featuring KAWS “X” signature design.
At $40 each, these release on Black Friday, and while a little creepy, they’re bound to sell quickly.
Recently, I’ve noticed a nostalgic push in collaborations between brands. The latest is this Sesame Street collab with Bombas. The sock makers took elements of your favorite Sesame Street characters and created these fun socks.
Not super obvious but you get just enough of a sense to know who the socks match up with. My personal favorite is this one.
Yup, that circle on the socks is none other than The Count’s monocle, and both you and I know where you learned what a monocle was back in the day.
Get these socks from Bombas for a Sesame Street fan. Available for men, women, youth, and toddlers!
Did you cop your KAWS collaboration with Sesame Street and UNIQLO? If not, I highly suggest you do so soon. Launched Thursday night online, physical stores started selling these graphic tees on Friday, including the Pop-Up location at Ala Moana.
While stock remained strong, there definitely was a steady stream of customers, all exiting with their neatly taped up UNIQLO bag. I didn’t get a picture of the people, but at times, the check out line almost reached the store entrance. The entire store had been rearranged with all the KAWS items at the back of the store to funnel people in.
From another fan, supposedly the Count shirt is popular and is sold out online. There were some at the store but less than all the other designs. Also, I had a hard time finding XL sizes. Not sure if they just weren’t put on the shelves or what. The stacks of folded shirts were small, medium, or large with a couple of XL mixed in.
I don’t know if this collaboration series is limited but judging by the traffic and popularity on day one, these shirts are not going to last long.
The man behind Sesame Street’s Elmo has been cleared of any wrongdoing with an alleged underage relationship. Sadly, this entire ordeal has taken a toll on puppeteer Kevin Clash who has taken time off from Sesame Street.
So if you don’t see Elmo on episodes or Elmo’s voice or mannerisms seem a little different, you now know why.
Sadly, kids nowadays don’t recognize the costume on the right. No, it’s not Elmo or a red Cookie Monster. Do you remember this Sesame Street character?
Sesame Street’s Grover teaches you the word “on” in this Old Spice spoof. Look at him, now look away, look back at him.
