The new range features a Mast T-Shirt, a Worldwide Crewneck Sweater, and socks with experimental stitching. However, a standout piece is the lambskin hockey mask, which comes dressed in a leather jersey with python detailing. Another notable piece includes the Just Don x Bauer X T-shirt, which combines the styles of both brands perfectly.
