The new 'Mitchell & Ness x mastermind JAPAN' capsule collection draws inspiration from vintage sportswear looks while remaining distinctly contemporary.
The collaboration leverages the Japanese fashion brand's signature black in a variety of old-school silhouettes including windbreakers, tearaway track pants, and t-shirt jerseys. Most of the collection's items include mastermind JAPAN's iconic embroidered 'mastermind' branding and skull logo. Other items offered in the collection include big face logo shorts and a dark, alpine green legacy football jersey.
The collaboration also presents two brand new accessories: bucket hats adorned with mastermind's skull and crossbones pattern, and black baseball caps donning an embroidered version of the same logo. According to the company, the new 'Mitchell & Ness x mastermind JAPAN ' collection is set to drop worldwide on August 27th.
