Ed Banger’s UFFIE recently collaborated with Japanese brand revolver to produce this comic book backpack.
Made in an army style, with lots of pockets, this backpack comes in three colorways: blue, black and orange/red, and a more subtle white.
As we approach the back to school season, I’m sure that more hip backpacks will start to come to market, but I’m not sure what the school authorities will say to kids with this UFFIE Revolver backpack, since it does have some racy female imagery on it.
