# Generation-Fusing Clothing Designs Wave Kentaro Launches the POCARI SWEATS 2.0 Capsule By Amy Duong | Published 2021-06-25 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocari-sweats-20 References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2021/6/wave-kentaro-pocari-sweats-2-0-collection-release) Wave Kentaro launches its new POCARI SWEATS 2.0 collection to celebrate Father's Day this year. The intention behind the designs are to blend together generations. Founder of the classic Japanese drink, Geoff Nishimoto, celebrates his son and how he has changed his life. Notably, a donation is made to the Japanese American National Museum in LA in his son's name. This way, his name would be engraved along with his father's and grandfather's on the walk. The capsule focuses on the pun "Pokari Suettsu" along with emblems that honor Wave Kentaro. The graphics makes its way onto pieces such as six-panel caps made from wool twill, fleece sweatpants, and socks with the help of Kyle the Knitter.
