Athleisure label Champion works in collaboration with [artist and influencer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei) King Saladeen on a new collection that is exclusively available at Footaction and Champion's SOHO store location. The entire capsule is designed to emphasize King Saladeen's artistic style, using the label's [classic silhouettes as a canvas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenny-scharf-and-axel) for expression. The [bold graphic designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keith-haring-x-albino-preto) that are signature to the artist are translated onto the staple pieces. Notably, the collection also features the mural that the pieces' designs are based on.

The visuals are extremely vibrant and it is created from an angle that aims to encourage young artists to push their creative boundaries in creating and inspiring their passions. Some details include the Saladeen's bear motif and loud color palette with hues of metallic gold, silver, as well as red, black, white, and grey. The silhouettes feature parkas, hoodies, crewneck sweaters, and coveralls.
