Stussy 8 Ball

While Michael Hoban's leather 8-ball jacket was a cultural phenomenon in the early '90s (as well as its Dapper Dan remakes), only one brand can truly claim the 8-ball design motif as a signature style. Stüssy has used the Ball of Destiny since its California surf days in the early '80s, resulting in a longstanding use of the 8-ball to symbolize the win-or-lose mentality. Stüssy's 8-ball sherpa fleece jackets have become immensely popular in recent years (largely thanks to TikTok trends), but the 8-Ball has appeared in various forms. Jackets, hoodies, home objects, t-shirts and hats have all featured the classic black ball. Notable renditions of the Stüssy 8-ball are the 8-ball-shaped rugs, as well as the airbrushed versions in its 2023 collab with Born X Raised.
