Market Studios x Mountain Dew have launched an exclusive capsule collection that blends nostalgic design with contemporary streetwear aesthetics. Inspired by the thrill of discovering rare treasures in local thrift stores, the collaboration celebrates the fusion of Mountain Dew’s heritage with Market Studios’ bold, design-driven sensibility.
The collection reinterprets iconic Mountain Dew imagery from the 1990s through a modern lens, featuring standout pieces such as the 'Mountain is Calling T-shirt' and polar fleece jacket, the 'Drink Up Bear T-shirt,' the 'Do the Dew' hoodie, dad hat, and chalk bag. Each item showcases UV-activated graphics, retro outdoor motifs, and collectible design details that evoke the spirit of vintage streetwear reimagined for today’s audience.
Complementing the apparel, a limited-edition 12oz 'Regular Mountain Dew' can features exclusive artwork inspired by the capsule’s thrift-store aesthetic, creating a distinctive connection between fashion and beverage culture through a shared appreciation for creativity and nostalgia.
