NEIGHBORHOOD works in collaboration with RUSSEL ATHLETIC on a new collection full of sportswear items that are designed with neutral tones. The capsule is made up of hoodies, crewneck sweaters, and baseball jackets in a minimal color palette.
RUSSELL ATHLETIC has over a century of creating progressive sportswear and refining their notable Pro Cotton Jersey which has moisture-wicking benefits. There are six items in the high-performance capsule in hues of grey, cream, and white. These are detailed with cloth patches and branded logos throughout the entire range. The most notable item in the collection is the baseball jacket that is buttoned down at the front with side seam pockets and a large embroidered logo on the back panel.
