Parisian skate brand FUTUR has teamed up with UNITED ARROWS imprint Monkey Time to launch a concise, four-piece capsule dubbed The FUTUR x Monkey Time collection.
The new capsule is the first collaboration between these two brands. And, as a result, it works to bring together the styles of both of their respective urban roots: FUTUR (Paris) and Monkey Time (Tokyo.) The four items included in the collection are a green varsity jacket, a black crewneck sweater, black sweatpants, and a wool cap featuring a zipper-lock strap.
The headlining item, however, is the varsity jacket from NorCal label GB Sport. It comes fitted with flesh-tone sleeves, silver buttons, black rib knits, and an eye-catching, multicolored graphic portraying a mystic-like figure emerging from a half pipe.
