Foot Locker stores across North Texas are set to unveil an exciting new collection crafted by two Dallas-based Latinx creators. Named 'Chrome Angels,' this latest collection from Malcriadas Collective will spotlight a range of T-shirts and shorts, showcasing a fusion of artistic expression and streetwear flair.
Founded by artists BB Velez and Rosa Rodriguez, Malcriadas Collective draws inspiration from their Mexican-American upbringing and deep appreciation for Chicano culture. Their artwork, now wearable through their streetwear brand, reflects a blend of cultural heritage and contemporary urban style.
Malcriadas collaborated with Dallas-based artists Felipe Velez and Haze Soto to develop three designs. The lineup highlights a ballpoint pen rendering of the Malcriadas Collective logo prominently on white T-shirts and shorts. Additionally, the collection includes two black T-shirts and shorts sets featuring graffiti-style lettering with the phrases "El Futuro Es La Mujer" and "Chrome Angels."
