Well, we certainly did not see this coming. Danish toy maker LEGO have teamed up with streetwear label HYPE. to launch a colorful streetwear collection inspired by LEGO Ninjago.
Never mind whether or not if a growth-ass person is into Ninjago (though it is very unlikely), but the sweet colors from the HYPE. x LEGO Ninjago Streetwear Collection is hard to ignore.
Obviously, HYPE. isn’t going to sell ninja-yoroi of Kai or Zane, or that black armor getup of Lord Garmadon. The collection will have colors and prints that draw inspiration from LEGO popular toy line/animated TV series.
Expect to find mesh paneling, embroidery, on-trend chunky taping, branded neck ribs and oversized graphics in this 28-piece collection, as well as metallic look that accentuate the prints and the use of metal D rings “emphasizing the power of the LEGO Ninjago Spirit.”
LEGO NINJAGO X HYPE. A collaboration apparel collection inspired by the neon colored universe of The Prime Empire and the iconic imagery of LEGO NINJAGO Legacy. Coming soon. @justhypeuk @kidshype @HypeBags#LEGO #HYPE #JustHYPE #LEGONinjago #LEGONinjagoXHYPE #Clothing pic.twitter.com/XksxpUde0l
