Streetwear imprints Off-White and UNDERCOVER join forces for a collaborative project with a capsule entitled 'UNDEROFFWHITECOVERS,' merging the namesakes together. The collection features streetwear staples including denim, athletic shorts, hoodies, graphic tees, and waist bags. The two feature graphics that are described as 'dark matter' by Jun Takahashi.
This image is blended in with the iconic markings that reference Off-White including the stripes. Additional details include the snake GILAPPLE, hunched over skeletons, clawed hands with a color palette of black, red, yellow, and white. All of the designs boast co-branding details nodding to both contributing brands with a series of 'UNDEROFFWHITECOVERS' adorning graphic tees, shorts, and hoodies. The campaign that accompanies the capsule nods to traditional Japanese comedy in the 80s and the 90s.
