PUMA launched the Nipsey Hussle Tribute Collection in commemoration of the late rapper, capturing his passion of his own brand, 'The Marathon Clothing.' His family works together with PUMA to bring Nipsey Hussle's vision through the design.
The collection features his family's work with the athletic brand as well as the forthcoming capsule made with contributions from Nipsey himself. The designs feature work jackets, graphic tees, and tracksuits made to serve the rapper's own measurements. The work jackets arrive in black and beige options with pants to match adorned in "MARATHON" embroidery. The tracksuits arrive in black and red and are adorned in branding logos that reference both PUMA and The Marathon Clothing. Rounding out the collection are two special PUMA California sneakers and graphic tees.
