Needles works in collaboration with UNION TOKTO on a new collection designed for the Summer 2022 season. There are four items that make up the seasonal range with a focus on track sets for a retro influence that nods to the late 90s. The latest iteration delivers a design language that bridges formal and casual together.
It is cut to a regular fit and offered in two different alternating colorway options. It kicks off with a bone-like off-white hue complete with piping accents in red and green for contrast. This is then followed by a darker black option that is detailed with blue and green details. Instead of a track jacket, it comes with a camp long sleeve collar shirt and pants.
