One of the most notable pieces in this collection are his Balenciaga Triple S sneakers. These serve as a perfect representation of stylish practicality—for someone who is always moving and dancing comfortable footwear is a must. However, these oversized sneakers, which retail for $795 USD, are any- thing but ordinary and casual. Beyond just footwear, J-Hope has been spotted in bucket hats, beanies, and ball caps galore. During a V LIVE in September 2018, he elaborated on the story behind 25 his acorn hat—an oversized orange beanie that RM had given him. He goes on to give us some context, mentioning that he enjoys wearing items RM leaves on his bed. RM is another member frequently recog- nized for his distinctive fashion sense and his love of shopping. While all of the members each have unique personal styles, RM and J-Hope share a similar aesthetic and have been spotted wearing the same streetwear brands such as Undercover by Jun Takahashi. The other members have frequent- ly poked fun at J-Hope’s choice in purses and acorn bags but none can deny they are one of J-Hope’s trademarks at this point. When vacationing in Malta, RM picked out a new acorn bag for J-Hope at the Sunday market, ultimately deciding on the cheery flower design. When landing in Los Angeles for the 2018 Billboard Music Awards, J-Hope made a splash by sporting a clear plastic tote from the brand A-COLD-WALL. The accessories inside were bright and fun, featuring a Kaikai Kiki flower keychain and a Supreme x Undercover dynamite pouch. Notably, during the North Ameri- can dates of the Love Yourself tour, he wore a red Love Yourself pouch which he personalized himself with stickers. One lucky fan was gifted this iconic pouch during the Citifield show.
