In August 2023, Blackstock & Weber collaborated with the fashion brand Kith on a line of premium loafers made in Portugal.[12] In the same year, Blackstock & Weber collaborated with Bee Line, a sublabel of Billionaire Boys Club, a streetwear label founded by Pharrell Williams.[13] The company also released an all-black leather loafer as a collaboration with JJJJound[14] [15] [16] and a tennis-inspired loafer as a collaboration with the Danish menswear brand Palmes Tennis Society.[17] [18]

Blackstock & Weber has also collaborated with fashion brands such as J.Crew and 3sixteen.[19] [20] [21] The company also contributed to Lapstone and Hammer's collaboration with the Philadelphia 76ers, which featured designs from streetwear brands in the 76ers' team colors.[22]
