Los Angeles streetwear imprint Born X Raised works in collaboration with LAFC, the Los Angeles Football Club once again, marking their second time working together on a design project. The duo released a collection full of fitted caps and snapbacks along with some apparel options as well.
The headgear is detailed with co-branding accents that nod to both contributing efforts in a black chambray New Era cap mold with khaki details. It also features a white tee with branding in red for a bright pop of color. This is followed by a black hoodie and a graphic tee with Aztec prints along the front. The standout item in the capsule is the mustard yellow long-sleeve tee with bright red, white, and blue details.
