Many fashion brands draw inspiration from MTV — especially the network's iconic 90s shows like 'Daria' or 'Beavis and Butt-Head.' It is perhaps the factor of consumer nostalgia and the overall status of these entertaining cartoons as cult-favorites that draw the attention of brands.
Building on its first 'Beavis and Butt-Head' collection from October, adidas Skateboarding recently released a second installment for Spring 2019, ultimately "paying homage to the golden era of 90s skateboarding and the pop culture surrounding it."
The capsule includes chic iterations of the 3MC and Matchcourt High RX silhouettes which are adorned with graphics from the iconic show, as well as two crew neck tees, a slick windbreaker, a strap-back hat, and a short-sleeved 'Cornholio' jersey.
