Streetwear brand The Hundreds and the nostalgic video game Tetris introduce 'Future Vintage,' a retro-futuristic collaboration centered around the iconic game title. The collection includes a pullover, graphic tees, and, most notably, a World's Smallest The Hundreds x Tetris keychain game that transports consumers back to the 80s. Serving as the perfect way to commemorate Tetris' 40th anniversary, the 'Future Vintage' capsule appeals to consumers interested in vintage games and streetwear aesthetics.
All of the designs spotlight the colorful and geometric Tetris Tetrimino shapes. Additionally, co-branding and small references to the Tetris game and The Hundreds brand can be found throughout the collection.
The Hundreds and Tetris will launch their collaborative collection on November 20.
