Sp5der hoodies come in four main versions: the OG puff-print web, the VVS rhinestone web, flocked or velvet variants, and Punk graphic hoodies built around skull and text prints instead of the web. Each version changes both the price and how a fake gets spotted — rhinestone pieces cost the most to copy convincingly, while the OG puff web is the most counterfeited. The version you pick decides your budget and how loud the piece reads.
| Version | Retail price | Print / finish | Best for |
| OG puff-print web | $238–298 | Raised puff-and-flock, multi-pass | First purchase, easiest resale |
| VVS rhinestone | $375–450 | All-over tonal rhinestones, 13oz fleece | Standout grail, hardest to fake |
| Flocked / velvet web | $280–350 | Soft raised velvet texture | Middle ground, smaller drops |
| Punk graphic | $200–260 | Flat print, skulls and lettering | Quieter flex, easier to find in stock |
The OG puff-print web hoodie
The original silhouette is built on 400–450 GSM cotton fleece with a raised puff-and-flock print across the front, back, and sleeves — which is why it keeps its texture after repeated washing better than a flat screen print. Common colorways include the pink, black, and “Beluga” webs from 2022–2023 drops. This is the version most people picture when they hear “Sp5der hoodie,” and it’s also the most heavily copied, since the print technique is now well understood outside the brand’s supply chain. It’s the standard entry point, and the easiest version to resell later because demand for it never really dips.
VVS rhinestone – why it costs the most
The VVS version swaps puff print for rhinestones set directly into the web pattern — there’s a full deep-dive on the VVS hoodie if that’s the piece you’re eyeing. The short version: stone-setting is slower and costlier than machine printing, which is why the FW24 VVS Black listed at $375 retail — 13oz cotton fleece under an all-over tonal rhinestone application — and drops in smaller quantities than any printed colorway. Collectors usually treat VVS pieces as a separate tier from the printed lineup, and resale listings reflect that — they hold their premium longer than any standard colorway.
Flocked, velvet and Punk graphic versions
Flocked and velvet web variants use a soft raised texture instead of the glossy puff, priced around $280–350 and released in smaller runs than the core colorways. The Punk line drops the web entirely for skull imagery and gothic lettering at $200–260 — closest in feel to a standard heavyweight hoodie, and less recognized by casual observers, which makes it the lower-key way into the brand. Between these, the choice comes down to texture, maximum flex, or a quieter design.
Which version to buy first
For a first purchase, the OG puff web makes the most sense — most recognizable, safest price, easiest to resell. VVS works as a deliberate second buy once you know you want a standout piece. If the glossy puff feels too common after a season of everyone wearing it, the flocked version is the middle path; if you’d rather the brand without the loudest graphic, go Punk. Whatever you pick, check what you’re actually paying for before defaulting to the newest drop — and if you’re still comparing brands, see how Sp5der stacks up against Gallery Dept and Hellstar.
