GUNTAS and New Balance come together to create a unique set of streetwear pieces for the warmer upcoming seasons. The brands' Spring/Summer 2018 vision was presented at Paris Fashion week. Milan-based designer Zeynep Guntas re-imagines the logo of New Balance and incorporating his vision into several pieces of apparel. This line is Guntas' second official collection and features Italian painted leather, large-fitted jersey silhouettes and the brand's trademark orange color.
GUNTAS and New Balance deconstruct classic streetwear pieces such as pullover hoodies, graphic t-shirts, ripped bottoms and cropped hoodies. In addition to the reinvented logo, the capsule embodies a unique new take on streetwear due to its nontraditional detailing. The unique deconstruction details are implemented throughout the collaborative collection, through stitching and zipper accents. The GUNTAS and New Balance collaboration will be arriving for Spring/Summer 2018 on GUNTAS' website.
