Jiu-jitsu apparel label Hyperfly returns with a new collaboration featuring original designs by Jasper Wong of international art organization, POW! WOW!. The partnership includes a gi with matching pants, sweatshirt and tote bags. All of the items are embellished with Japanese motifs. The standout item is an eight ounce canvas jacket featuring embroidered tiger elements on both sleeves and a dark cloud pattern on the lapels and collar. Co-branding labels are also featured in the design execution of all products.

“To catch a tiger by the tail is to embark on a course of action that is difficult but cannot be abandoned. Which is the theme of the latest Gi collaboration between mural festival POW! WOW! and kimono supplier HYPERFLY. POW! WOW!, which brings over a hundred international and local artists to create murals and other forms of art, was founded by Jasper Wong, who is the artist behind the Gi’s design,” expressed Hyperfly in a statement.

Check out the collaboration above and expect an official release on Hyperfly’s website this April 30.
