[G-Star RAW](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gstar-raw1) introduces the latest collection continuing the Hardcore Denim global campaign with [Snoop Dogg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moschino-x-snoop-dogg). As a playful touch, the famous rapper coins the campaign as 'Say It Witcha Booty.' Spotlighted in the collection is the new Grip 36 collection of denim jeans. It is essentially a loosely fitted iteration of the brand's classic 3D Grip jeans.

The new design features a relaxed fit with a retro design inspiration nodding to the 70s. The silhouette sees a construction from raw denim materials and offered in the hues of either Ecru or Steel. The legs have a knife pleat to complete the sleek look and give it a touch of nostalgia. The rest of the capsule includes tees and hoodies.
