Part of the London-based brand's sports-themed spring/summer 2017 collection, the Palace YAMAN Tracksuit is a racing-inspired two-piece set that features updated takes on a number of iconic logos and is available in blue and white or blue and black.
Although sold out on the Palace website, the tracksuit can be seen listed for resale on various sites at increased prices. The Palace YAMAN Tracksuit is one of several examples of streetwear and streetwear adjacent brands taking inspiration from utilitarian auto-related designs. A recent collaborative collection between Stussy and MOONEYES paid tribute to the mythic car culture of California in apparel featuring imagery related to the motorsport.
Other pieces in the innovative spring/summer 2017 collection include hunting-inspired outerwear, pastel-colored anoraks, referee-style polos and a number of accessories.
