The Oscar Mayer Street Meat collection introduces 13 limited-edition items that can be found in Los Angeles, Atlanta, and New York but only at hot dog carts. The first streetwear line from the brand is a capsule collection that offers a meaty take on popular styles like bucket hats, slides, tracksuits and more. These pieces actually double as the uniform for Oscar Mayer's Hotdoggers, also known as the drivers of the iconic Wienermobile.
Rather than choosing to make this limited-edition drop available online, the brand went the route of inspiring people to get out to hot dog carts in their local area. For those who miss getting to a cart in person, the Wienermobile itself will be hosting pop-up shops across the country in October, and the locations will be shared via Twitter.
