Zane Styles x Paper Planes ‘Subway Series’ Is NYC’s Hottest Baseball Streetwear Collab

Zane Styles and Paper Planes Are About to Start a NYC Street War with "Subway Series" Drop

Let’s keep it 100 New York City doesn’t just have rivalries, it lives by them. And this Saturday, May 17, Zane Styles and Paper Planes are weaponizing the biggest one of all: Yankees vs. Mets. Their "Subway Series" collab isn’t just another drop. It’s a declaration. A middle finger to subtlety. A fitted cap and tee collection that’s about to have every borough picking sides like it’s 1999. Zane Styles and Paper Planes are set to drop their highly anticipated "Subway Series" collaboration this Saturday, May 17th, and if the teasers are any indication, this isn’t just another merch drop. It’s a full-blown cultural showdown between two sides of the city, delivered in premium streetwear form.

Seriously though , there’s something raw and unapologetic about the way Paper Planes handles collabs , they don’t just slap logos together and call it a day. Every drop feels like a cultural moment, whether it’s teaming up with rising stars like Zane Styles or bridging gaps between streetwear and unexpected worlds (like NASCAR with Raja Caruth). Their pieces strike that perfect balance between wearable and statement-making, like the "Subway Series" fitteds that turn a baseball rivalry into a street-level flex. It’s not just merch; it’s a badge of identity for people who care about where they’re from and how they rep it.

What makes Paper Planes stand out is their instinct for partnerships that mean something. They don’t chase clout , they tap into real subcultures, from underground artists to athletes like Jazz Chisholm who actually move the needle. Their collabs land because they feel authentic, not forced. When you cop a Paper Planes joint, you’re not just buying a tee or a hat; you’re buying into a narrative. And in a world oversaturated with hollow brand deals, that’s rare. That’s why I’m always watching for their next move—they’ve earned the hype.

The Collab That’s Turning Sidewalk Debates Into Full-Blown Fashion Beef

We’ve seen baseball-inspired streetwear before, but never like this. Zane Styles didn’t just slap logos on some tees and call it a day. Nah, this is a full-blown NYC mood in clothing form.

The Fitteds: Two 59FIFTY joints—Mets in that slick black, Yankees in that classic navy. Not some cheap polyester crap either. These are heavyweight wool with embroidery so clean it hurts. You’re not just wearing a hat, you’re strapping on armor for the borough wars.

The Tees: The white Yankees joint with "Just a Neighborhood Kid Who Got Lucky" scrawled across the back? That’s the one. No crazy graphics, no overdone nonsense—just pure, unfiltered NYC arrogance with a championship ring patch on the chest like you actually earned it.

And let’s talk about Jazz Chisholm for a second. Dude’s not just some random athlete they slapped on the promo—he’s the perfect bridge between baseball’s swagger and streetwear’s attitude. If you don’t get why that matters, you’re probably from Boston.

The Flagship Event: Where the Real Showdown Goes Down

Paper Planes’ Soho spot (252 Lafayette St.) is about to be a fashion warzone this Saturday. From 1-6 PM, it’s a watch party + merch drop + inevitable shouting match between Yankees and Mets fans.

In-store drop starts at 11 AM (good luck if you think you’re strolling in at noon and copping anything)

Online drop at 11 AM sharp (set alarms, beg your Wi-Fi to behave)

This is first come, first served, and you already know the vibes—resellers lurking, hypebeasts sweating, and at least one dude arguing that the Dodgers are better (he’s wrong).

Why This Drop Actually Matters

This isn’t just about sports. It’s about identity. In NYC, your team isn’t just a team—it’s your block, your childhood, your uncle’s nonsensical rants at family barbecues. Zane and Paper Planes bottled that energy and turned it into something you can wear.

The "Subway Series" isn’t trying to be some high-fashion, abstract take on baseball. It’s unapologetically for the streets—for the dudes who still argue about Jeter vs. Reyes, for the kids who learned the game on concrete, for anyone who’s ever yelled "BUSHWICK REPRESENT" unironically.

So yeah, which side are you picking? Because come Saturday, silence isn’t an option.
