Italian streetwear imprint Numero 00 works in collaboration with sportswear brand LOTTO on a collection comprised of both clothing and footwear options. The duo draws inspiration from Italian culture and their admiration for soccer and the blue sea. The apparel selection boasts sporty structures to honor LOTTO's heritage and incorporates streetwear elements through the details. Some details include pinstripe infusion and a plethora of logo placements throughout the pieces.
The series of apparel features pieces such as lightweight outerwear, hoodies, tees, joggers, leather sneakers, and the highlighting set of a thermo-reactive jacket and bottoms. The set is complete in a bright orange and blue color palette, purposely selected to reference the Mediterranean sea. Other notable hues that decorate the range include red, white, and black. The collaborative Numbero 00 x LOTTO Spring/Summer 2019 collection is now available for preorder online at Numbero 00 before being launched on December 18th.
