Streetwear that Speaks Volumes

Fashion enthusiasts have a lot to look forward to as well. The Kid Cudi x Star Trek “Boldly Be” collaboration will unveil a streetwear collection featuring tees, crewnecks, hoodies, a custom button-up t-shirt, and a standout leather varsity jacket adorned with detailed embroidery.

While glimpses of the jacket have been revealed, the entire line is inspired by Star Trek mantras, notably "Live Long and Rage."

The Inspiration Behind the Collaboration

While the collaboration seems out of the blue for some, it's rooted in a shared vision and ethos. Star Trek’s philosophy of IDIC (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations) resonates deeply with the collaboration.
