Streetwear and sneaker retail imprint BAIT introduces its new Astro Boy denim collection as it continues to work with a variety of brands and franchises. This time around, the beloved anime series sits in the spotlight -- the collection is made up of denim jackets, jeans, a tote bag, a bucket hat, and a baseball jersey.
Other items in the range also include a soft fleece hoodie, a graphic tee, and an 18-inch figurine. Notably, all of the denim pieces are detailed with mechanical drawings and blueprints printed on top of the premium denim. The hoodie is designed in blue and the graphic tee comes in white -- both of which sport a collaborative rectangular logo at the front.
