You may have already heard about the collaboration between legendary artist Futura and Stussy for the upcoming Stussy spring line. Now pieces from this project, dubbed The Destiny Collection, are beginning to trickle into Stussy accounts worldwide, and we have some fresh images of two New Era caps that are part of this collection. Check ‘em out after the jump.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve been so psyched for a Stussy release. As much as I respect the consistency of the brand, it’s rare to see such a knockout Stussy release. For that matter, this is probably the first Futura product since his Dunk SB’s in 2003 that I’ve been interested in. There’s not a Pointman to be seen! Not being able to fall back on his traditional imagery may be the best thing to happen to Futura for this release. As great an artist as he most certainly is, much of Futura’s famous designs have begun to be a bit too predictable on his work, so this retooling is a great opportunity for both brands.

There is definitely some interesting camouflage type patterns in both of these caps. You can immediately sense the influence of Futura in the designs, particularly in the handstyled Stussy logos. Both of these are available now from Haven, and should be in your local Stussy accounts, as well as Stussy Direct, within the next week or so.
