This collaboration between BREAKS KRU, Mishka and Extra Butter is a great example of how a breakdancing crew, a [clothing line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2) and a retailer can make visual magic.

The photo shoot is for Mishka's Spring 2010 line and it's packed with pop-locking goodness. The BREAKS KRU strike a bevy of high-energy moves while dipped from head to toe in Mishka's latest.

The [pop-locking lookbook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gap-and-parker-posey) was done in-house by Extra Butter and will sure bring plenty of folks into the store so they can look like the BREAKS KRU even if they can't pull off the moves.
