Rapper Joey Bada$$ introduces his first collection of apparel alongside New York-based label PONY and retailer Urban Outfitters. The new collaborative capsule is comprised of four pieces -- a bright yellow long sleeve shirt, a red t-short, crew crewneck sweater, and burgundy leather sneakers. Every single garment from the new capsule is constructed from cotton materials and are accented with texts reading "Product of New York." There are also logo branding details including a red flame 'BADASS' on the front, back, and sleeves of the garments.
The standout item from the collection are the Lo Luxe sneakers that have a leather crafted upper, rubber sole, and a frontal lacing system. The new Joey Bada$$ x PONY collection is now available in store and online at Urban Outfitters.
