Rapper A$AP Rocky and his creative design studio AWGE have launched a collaborative clothing capsule titled the AWGE x Mercedes-Benz collection.
The new capsule consists of a wide range of staple pieces, including hoodies, sweatpants, long-sleeve t-shirts, and snapbacks, all of which are available in either black or white. In addition, each piece comes fitted with Mercedes-Benz's signature star and laurel wreath logo in a blue and green colorway, which is displayed alongside AWGE branding.
As a whole, the new capsule arrives as a continuation of A$AP Rocky’s work with PacSun, where the rapper is currently working as Guest Artistic Director.
“To be able to incorporate my relationship with Mercedes and my partnership with Pacsun to release select items from the first drop, echoes my original sentiments of creating premium products based off my love for nostalgia and heritage brands that are accessible at different price points," said Rocky in a recent press statement.
