Designer clothing store and label INITIAL Gentleman has worked with Capcom to design an exclusive 35th anniversary Street Fighter II capsule collection. The series consists of nine graphic tees and a kimono jacket inspired by the fan-favorite character Ryu.
The tees highlight the characters Chun Li, Blanka, Guile, Ken, Zangief, Dhalsim, E.Honda, and Ryu who are featured on the detailed semi-embroidered back graphics alongside Street Fighter II/INITIAL co-branding and stylized text prompts from the game including “PUSH START,” “INSERT COIN,” “CONTINUE,” and “GAME OVER.” The frontside displays additional collaborative branding drawing from the retro aesthetic of in-game text. Other pieces include a special “Electric Shock” tee and a navy kimono jacket featuring subtle back embroidery and oversized front pockets.
The Street Fighter II x INITIAL Gentleman collection is now available on the label’s website and physical location in Hong Kong. Items arrive in a special 35th-anniversary box resembling a retro Street Fighter II cassette.
