BAIT works in collaboration with iconic anime series 'One Punch Man' once again following the duo's inaugural launch earlier this summer. The new capsule follows the same design theme, highlighting the hero of the shoe, Saitama.
However, the new joint capsule will also feature more familiar faces from the show to add more options -- this includes Garou, Genos, Tatsumake, and Crablante as well, who was one of the villains that Saitama faces. The color palette of the collection is bright, adorning the selection of long sleeve tops, sweats, and t-shirts in gray, white, yellow, and light blue. All of the items that are featured in the second collection are now available to shop online and at BAIT Chapter locations.
