Ksubi x Lucia Pizzaria have unveiled a fashion-meets-food collaboration to hit New York City, bringing together the global streetwear label and beloved Brooklyn-born pizzeria. This exclusive partnership includes a limited-edition capsule collection and a custom pizza, designed to celebrate the city's iconic street culture.
Launched May 23, the collab features co-branded pieces such as Ksubi’s signature '4x4 Biggie tees' in 'Jet Black' and 'Optic White,' and 'Anti K' jeans in 'Noir' -- all adorned with unique Ksubi x Lucia motifs. Simultaneously, Lucia’s Canal Street location will serve a specially created 'Ksubi Pizza.' In a clever nod to the partnership, Lucia staff will wear upcycled Ksubi denim aprons.
Both brands have built cult followings rooted in community, creativity, and culture -- making this pairing a natural fit for NYC’s fashion and food lovers.
