Anime-Informed eSports Collaborations

SNIPES and mousesports' Apparel Boasts Hip Hop Inspiration

Anime and hip hop inspirations are the key driving force in this collaboration between sneaker and streetwear label SNIPES and Berlin-based professional eSports organization mousesports.

The three-year partnership boasts a series of launches, including jerseys for the team, as well as a specially curated streetwear collection. In addition to this, SNIPES has also entered a collaboration with ESL — formerly known as the Electronic Sports League, that will place the company as the official fashion retailer for the event, as well as boast another co-branded apparel line.

SNIPES and mousesports make their partnership public with the launch of an anime-themed marketing campaign that is voiced by rapper Rick Ross, while the music is provided by DJ Premier. In addition, the hip hop inspiration behind the co-branded apparel line is extended as numerious rappers, including Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa, endorse the partnership.
