Forever 21 and Honda merged forces to create a vintage-influenced collection that taps into the early action sportswear designs by Honda from the 80s and 90s. The classic Honda racing aesthetics have been incorporated into the clothing designs, available for both men and women. The men's series focuses more on streetwear and features garments such as t-shirts, sweaters and jackets, while the women's collection has a nostalgic inspiration and includes cropped tops in both short and long sleeve versions, plus long sleeve shirts and skirts.
The detailing of the entire collection pays homage to decades of the past through silhouettes, checkered patterns and the use of bright colors. The entire collection is available on Forever 21's website and in select store locations.
