Streetwear label HIP has once again teamed up with footwear giant new balance to launch a new unisex clothing collection titled 'Created for Everyone.' The collection offers a cohesive range of garments that share a rich navy and brown color scheme.
Specific items in this 10-piece collection include chocolate brown quarter zips, navy vests, and relaxed-fit trousers. Since its launch in 1987, HIP has been a purely men's clothing brand. However, this year the company launched its first womenswear line in April and began stocking women's clothing at its flagship store in England. Now, the company has offered a progressive take on classic wardrobe staples by partnering with New Balance on a range of gender-neutral pieces.
For those interested, the HIP x New Balance collection is now available to purchase at HIP's store in Leeds and will be released online via the company's website on May 27.
