CDG and Medicom Toy have released two editions of the BE@RBRICK t-shirt. The capsule features long and short-sleeved silhouettes available in black and white. The BE@RBRICK outline decorates the front of the long-sleeve shirts, with CDG branding filling the shape. The short-sleeve shirts have the CDG branding on the head. The year "2021" is printed on the chest of the black short-sleeve shirts, and "2022" on the white shirts.
Medicom Toy is known for being the manufacturer of the BE@RBRICK, a streetwear symbol that many seek out as collectibles. The BE@RBRICK originally comes as a mini bear statue, but collaborations between the brand and other successful streetwear retailers have resulted in multiple pop culture-inspired figurines. The collaborative collection goes on sale at CDG stores and the official CDG website on Friday May 20, 2022.
