Following a release to end 2020, BAIT and Initial D have come together for the second drop of their collaboration. Drop II of the capsule once again celebrates Kodansha‘s iconic drift street racing manga first debuted in 1995 and has spawned a hit anime franchise, popular arcade series and live-action movie.

Mainly comprised of premium Made in USA fleece hoodies and T-shirts, graphics center around protagonist Takumi Fujiwara and his iconic Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86. This time around, BAIT has also chosen to feature the Akagi RedSuns and Akina SpeedStars, the street racing teams that would go head to head in the earlier chapters of the manga. The release also features a limited skateboard deck and corduroy cap marked with the signature Initial D logo.

Check out the capsule above and shop the range online and at all US BAIT Chapter stores April 24.
