A new windbreaker line comes from the collaboration between the timeless retro-inspired brand K-Way and the youthful, luxe label PLAY COMME des GARÇONS. The collection is set to launch on January 12th and it features a variety of playfully branded windbreakers for the whole family. This is an interesting direction for K-Way, a brand that revived itself in the late 2010s and is now embracing collaborations with various big-shot streetwear brands.
The windbreaker line features both labels' recognizable logos. The adult sizes feature a "distinguishing color block design" while the kid silhouettes boast monochromatic aesthetics in colors like red, silver, and black. Full-zip and half-zip windbreaker designs are available in both sizing streams.
The PLAY COMME des GARÇONS x K-Way windbreaker line ranges in price from $180 to $200.
