This Pokémon collab sold out in seconds (but here’s the only pair that matters)

Hey ya’ll

My bad y’all… I scheduled this for 3 PM instead of 3 AM 😭

But honestly? That just gave me more time to sit with this week’s drops, and yeah…

Here’s what’s actually worth your attention this week:

What it is: The one pair from the PUMA x Pokémon 30th anniversary collection that actually passes the Anti-Weeb test.

Why I'm obsessed: Beige canvas. Alpine Snow and black colorway. These give Jonah Brown, Yeezy-adjacent energy, and nobody outside the fandom is clocking them as Pokémon sneakers. That's exactly the point.

The rest of the collection? Oversized tees and a yellow hoodie that aren't doing anything special for people who actually dress with intention. The Umbreon and Espeon pairs are cool to look at, the pink suede Espeon is bold if you can pull it off, but the Mimikyu pair won the whole collab without breaking a sweat.

The catch: They sold out before anyone could even speak about it.

Worth it if: YES! No explanation needed.

Skip it if: You wanted the loud pieces or you're still mad they sold out. (Check resale, but don't pay 3x retail.)

Where it dropped: puma.com (sold out)
Price: $110 - $140
Anti-Weeb Rating: 8/10 ⭐

The clothing wasn't for us. The Mimikyu sneakers? Different story.

HASHIRA STUDIOA - WIND BREAKER

📅 Drops: April 16, 6 PM CST

💰 Price Range: TBD

🎯 What to know: Furin High-inspired pieces, this is one of those collabs where the aesthetic actually translates well into streetwear. Clean uniforms, strong silhouettes.

U-TREASURE - D.GRAY MAN

📅 Reservation: March 31 – April 30

💰 Price Range: ~$160 (silver) – ~$1300+ (platinum)

🎯 What to know: Character-inspired rings (Allen, Kanda, Lavi) with engraved detailing and real jewelry materials (Silver 925 / Platinum 950).

⭐ My take: This is how you do anime jewelry. Subtle, stackable, actually elevated. Not for everyone’s budget, but the direction? Correct.

GOLDEN ANT - HEART *****

Details: TBD

So I’m building something for you:
A quiz that tells you your Anti-Weeb Fashion style identity, your fashion energy, and the anime characters that match your aesthetic.

posted something on Instagram this week that took me 4 years to figure out:

“I sat through 4 years of bad anime brands so you don’t have to.”
