In the constantly changing streetwear landscape, few brands create as much hype as Stussy and Travis Scott. Whether it's a fresh university collab or a surprise capsule hailing from Hawaii, these brands are constantly setting the tone for global streetwear. Lately, fans have been heading to the Travis Scott website for limited college gear, and Stussy has kept heads spinning with new releases from Stussy Honolulu and graphic-strewn Stussy tees. This piece delves into the new from both legends—celebrating recent releases, rumored drops to come, and how the iconic Cactus Jack McDonald's ad continues to impact Scott's merchandise aesthetic today. **Travis Scott College Merch: The Campus Takeover** Travis Scott is not merely an icon of music—he's a bonafide cultural phenomenon. His college drop collections are evidence that people want his style outside of arena concerts. These items are not simply about showing your school pride; they're about joining a bigger cultural moment. University of Houston x Mitchell & Ness x Cactus Jack In 2024, Travis dropped an exclusive college merch capsule with the University of Houston. Made in collaboration with Mitchell & Ness, the line was a celebration of Scott's hometown pride and included varsity jackets, letterman hoodies, and vintage sweatpants. The collection sold out in minutes, cementing college merch as a legitimate vertical within Travis Scott's fashion universe. The drop was only available on the **[Travis Scott site](https://officialtravisscottmerch.us)**, maintaining the exclusivity. Products featured discreet Cactus Jack logos in addition to university emblems, fusing school pride with street authenticity. **Why College Merch Works** Travis Scott's grasp of nostalgia and regional affiliation is paramount. College gear establishes an affective connection between his brand and fans' actual lives—where they went to school, were raised, or root for in March Madness. He turns plain university apparel into high fashion by adding the aura of Cactus Jack, a maneuver not that dissimilar from his successful Cactus Jack McDonald's marketing campaign, in which fast food was turned into high fashion. Look for more college-drop-inspired releases to come, potentially branching into HBCUs or even letterman high school collabs. Travis Scott's site is set to still be the sole gateway for these limited runs. **The Cactus Jack McDonald's Legacy and Merch Impact** Prior to immersing ourselves in Stussy's universe, we must look back at the Cactus Jack McDonald's campaign—a still ridiculously popular brand x artist collaboration among streetwear. In 2020, Travis’s collaboration with McDonald's redefined fast-food marketing. But more importantly, it produced a line of T-shirts, rugs, and collectible memorabilia that sold out instantly. Items like the “I’m Lovin’ It” graphic tee became grails. This merch established precedent: corporate collaborations could give rise to streetwear sensations. That same innovation from that release still resonates in Travis's college merch. It's not about logos—it's about blending disparate cultures: fast food and high fashion, academics and hip-hop. With more brands trying to replicate the success of Cactus Jack McDonald's, fans are craving the next surprise collab from Travis—another food giant, perhaps, or even a technology company. **Stussy's New Drops: The Return to Surf Roots** As Travis takes over the merch and music mashup world, Stussy has been keeping the surf-meets-streetwear corner locked down for decades. In 2025, they're far from running out of steam. **The Rise of the Stussy Shirt Again** The Stussy tee is in its moment. Famous for its script logo and cultural adaptability, new Stussy releases have reinterpreted the classic tee with more saturated colors, graffiti-print graphics, and high-quality dye techniques. This season's Spring/Summer collection features loose-fit tees with West Coast prints and collaborative logos from brands such as Nike and Converse. Although plain palettes are always in fashion, neon and acid-wash iterations have been warming up the secondary market. Stay tuned for limited-edition artist collaborations that will highlight the Stussy shirt as wearable art instead of another logo tee. **Stussy Honolulu Exclusive Drops** One of the most original retail experiences of the brand belongs to **[Stussy Honolulu](https://stussyofficialwear.com/collections/stussy-worldwide/stussy-honolulu/)**. This isn't merely a store—it's an idea center that feeds directly into the brand's origins in surf culture and island style. Recent Honolulu exclusives from Stussy have featured tie-dye tanks, floral board shorts, and vintage-washed Stussy tees you can't find anywhere else. The drops tend to tip into Aloha culture, with custom graphics that draw their inspiration from Hawaiian flowers, sea life, and even classic tattoo designs. Fans wait in line early at the Honolulu store or take their chances through online raffles. If you're a collector, these drops are essentials—not only for the scarcity, but for their cultural significance in Stussy lore. Future Drops to Keep an Eye on: Stussy and Travis Scott in 2025 Both Travis Scott and Stussy have both got big plans for the latter half of 2025. Here's what the rumor mill and insider reports are saying: **Travis Scott x Cactus Plant Flea Market** A new Travis Scott x CPFM collection is reportedly on the way. While it’s unclear whether this will involve college themes, leaked photos suggest varsity-style jackets, hand-stitched logos, and layered hoodies. Fans should watch the Travis Scott website closely for release dates and surprise merch bundles. Stussy x Levi’s Part Two After a successful first partnership, Stussy x Levi’s are rumored to be dropping a second capsule this fall. Expect distressed denim, utility vests, and oversized Stussy shirts that pay homage to ‘90s hip-hop silhouettes. Global Expansion for Stussy Honolulu As Stussy goes more international, we're hearing rumblings about a Stussy Tokyo x Honolulu crossover event. Limited merchandise will incorporate dual-branding, where they draw cues from island and city street cultures. If you thought Stussy Honolulu was rare prior, this event will set the bar higher. Why These Drops Matter to the Streetwear Scene Fashion is not seasonal anymore—it's event-based. Stussy and the likes of Travis Scott love the drop culture, where lack is luxury. What they create isn't clothing; it's narrative. From the retro appeal of campus merchandise to Stussy Honolulu's islander aesthetic, these drops are not just fabric—these are mood boards, declarations, and memorabilia. The Travis Scott website and official Stussy stores have become holy digital terrain for the fans. They are not merely e-commerce sites—they are cultural spaces. **Where to Cop and Stay Fresh** If you want to remain ahead of the curve, these are your go-to sources: Travis Scott Website: The sole source for official Cactus Jack drops, restocks, and college merch.
