The latest retro statement in the fashion world comes from the FILA x Pepsi collaboration. The two brands join forces to bring their respective aesthetics together in a capsule that features a variety of t-shirts, sports bras, shorts, leggings, and other sporting essentials.
What is curious about the FILA x Pepsi collaboration is how the branding identities of both companies mix so well with one another. The label's nostalgia-inducing color palettes are seamlessly integrated, while the logo motifs are styled to perfection.
In addition to the garments offered through the FILA x Pepsi collaboration, the two brands also debut two sneaker silhouettes -- the Creator and the Disruptor 2. Both carry the same retro-inspired vibe as the rest of the collection.
The FILA x Pepsi capsule is made available exclusively at DTLR/VILLA.
