Gap is leveraging a viral TikTok trend for its latest apparel release.

The brand is rereleasing its vintage brown logo hoodie after the sweater went viral on the social media platform earlier this year. TikTok users took to the social media platform in January to share videos of 2000s-inspired looks featuring the brown Gap logo hoodie, which led to the style quickly gaining in popularity. The hoodie’s social media popularity ultimately caused it to go as high as $300 on resale sites, like Depop and Grailed, and #gaphoodie had more than 5.8 million views on TikTok.

The Gap hoodie is one of the brand’s oldest and most recognizable styles. The style was introduced in 1995 and has since evolved into other styles with various logo fonts, colorways and design elements. The brown logo hoodie hasn’t been available to purchase through Gap since the early 2000s.

Gap is also teaming with TikTok on a social media campaign called the “Gap Hoodie Color Comeback” competition, where the brand is crowdsourcing ideas for the next colorway of the Gap hoodie to release this fall. Customers can vote on their favorite colorway through Gap’s social media accounts from June 26 to July 2.

Gap’s brown logo hoodie will be available for pre-order starting June 26 for $59.95 and is expected to ship later this summer.

  • Confounding US economic, inflation data muddy Fed's rate path

    The Federal Reserve's latest financial stability report was good news for anyone worried that a record run of interest rate hikes might overstress the banking system or trigger a recession with companies and households pushed into default through a broad credit crackdown. Instead, the Fed is wrestling with an economy that has sloughed off tight monetary policy to such a degree that U.S. central bank officials are without a clear view of what to expect and divided over issues like productivity, the economy's underlying potential, and even whether the current policy interest rate is as restrictive as imagined when they called off further hikes. A recently updated Fed index of overall financial conditions showed there was virtually no impact on economic growth right now from the central bank's monetary policy or the broader credit conditions it is intended to influence.

    UPS and FedEx are facing uncertainty in U.S. supplies of big, boxy electric step vans they need to replace their gas guzzlers and make a dent in the country's climate-warming tailpipe emissions. The path to electrification by the package delivery giants is critical to U.S. President Joe Biden's transportation climate goals. Achieving that aim, however, is hampered by battery shortages that are limiting EV supplies and keeping prices high, and by startup electric van makers that are running out of money and shutting down.

    All right, who’s for mixed doubles? Cinema has brought us love triangles in the world of professional tennis before – perhaps most memorably in George Cukor’s Pat and Mike and Woody Allen’s Match Point. But the sheer racquet-twanging steaminess of Luca Guadagnino’s new entry in the canon makes its forerunners look like games of back-garden swingball. Challengers must be the most purely pleasurable film of the year so far. Like a great tennis match, it’s a clash of sleekly honed bodies and minds,
