Hyperfly drops its latest collaborative collection made with POW! WOW!, which is an international art organization. The athletic apparel is made for jiu-jitsu, adorned in designs by Jasper Wong. The collection features a gi with pants to match, tote bags, and sweaters.
All of the pieces in the range are accented with Japanese emblems as the most notable item is the eight ounce canvas jacket. It is detailed with tiger motifs through intricate embroidery throughout the silhouette's sleeve with dark cloud designs at the collar and the lapels. Branding details nodding to both contributing efforts are found throughout the products. Hyperfly explains the collaborative project's theme, “To catch a tiger by the tail is to embark on a course of action that is difficult but cannot be abandoned."
