In4mation marked 24 years the right way, with gear that looks built for real weather, real commutes, and real skate use, not just a birthday graphic dump. The XXIV Collection landed with the waterproof and windproof XXIV Jacket in black and white, a Dyneema Nylon Ripstop Grid Tote with rope cord straps, a HI20 XXIV Snapback, the XXIV Deck, and an XXIV T-shirt, and the sharpest move was making utility the headline instead of treating it like a bonus.

The jacket is the piece that gives the capsule its backbone. In4mation kept the silhouette focused and functional, then backed it up with construction that makes sense in Hawai‘i and beyond: waterproof, windproof, and stripped of excess. The Grid Tote follows the same logic. Dyneema nylon ripstop is the kind of material that signals abrasion resistance and everyday toughness, which matters more here than any nostalgia play. For a brand that built its name between surf sessions, skate spots, and street corners, that is the cleanest way to translate heritage into something wearable now.

The rest of the range fills in the lifestyle without turning soft. The HI20 XXIV Snapback arrived with HI front embroidery, a 24th Anniversary side patch, perforated back panels, waterproof construction, and an adjustable snapback closure, with a Friday, April 24 drop set for 8 a.m. HST. The XXIV Deck came in 8-inch, 8.25-inch, and 8.5-inch sizes, which keeps it useful for different stances and setups instead of boxing the release into one narrow lane. The XXIV T-shirt, built from a 90 percent ring-spun U.S. cotton and 10 percent polyester blend, carried the 24th Anniversary Wreath Print on both front and back, the kind of graphic treatment that lands harder once you know the brand history.

And that history is the real subtext. In4mation started in 2002 with its first shop in Mililani, then expanded across O‘ahu through Ward, Waikiki, Pearl Ridge, Nuuanu, Mccully, Ala Moana, and Iwilei. That retail trail gives the anniversary capsule weight: this is not a label mining its past from afar, it is a Hawaiian streetwear mainstay marking a footprint it actually built block by block. The brand calls itself “Hawaii streetwear since 2002,” and that still fits because the formula has stayed consistent, blending surf, skate and hip-hop culture into premium tees, hats and exclusive drops worldwide.

The heritage-logo graphics will mean the most to longtime Hawai‘i streetwear followers who already know the In4mation language. For newer buyers, the better argument is the product itself: a jacket that can handle weather, a tote that feels engineered, and a capsule that treats anniversary branding as seasoning, not the meal.
