Blonded drops radio T-shirts ‘Focusing,’ ‘Radio Star,’ ‘Going Gone’
Blonded has released three new tees in nine colorways, each branded with Frank Ocean’s Apple Music online radio program, Blonded Radio. The vinyl reissues of Blonde (Dec. 2022) and Channel Orange (Jun. 2025) are also in stock.
The first T-shirt, named Focusing, features a motion-blurred graphic of Blonded’s “radio” wordmark. It comes in three colors. Ocean was first spotted wearing the same design on an unreleased zip hoodie in January 2024.

Secondly, the Radio Star ringer shirt overlays the Blonded Radio logo on a five-pointed star, surrounded by smaller stars; it’s available in four color options. The shirt may reference Ocean’s online radio concept in general. Alternatively, its design could be tied to the development of the “Recording Artist” character, Ocean’s fictional alter ego, who first appeared in Michael Marcell’s 2019 photo series for Blonded. A note later released on the back of two posters, shipped in January 2023, revealed that the series follows “the story of a fictitious Recording Artist as he navigates the radio system”—making him a ‘radio star.’
Finally, the Going Gone tee, featuring the word “Going” on the front and “gone” on the back, is available in black or white. The phrase “going, going, gone” is commonly chanted by auctioneers to close out a round of bidding. The front is also tagged “blonded 008,” an episode that premiered on Apple Music back in October 2019. It appears the product was initially scrapped, either because it was not produced in time for the show, was based on an unreleased concept, or did not fit in with the rest of the PrEP+ merchandise released alongside 008, after the first “blonded live radio event” in NYC.
