In its third season, Andrea Pompilio x Onitsuka Tiger represents the perfect union between the sportswear heritage of the Japanese brand and the Italian creativity of Andrea Pompilio.

For SS14 the designer took inspiration from the musicians, artists and breakdancers that enliven the streets of underground neighbourhoods in Los Angeles.

The prints, Andrea Pompilio’s signature feature, blend together with Onitsuka Tiger’s Collection in a kaleidoscope of computerised, sprayed and tattooed graphics that recall the artworks of urban artists.

The tiger, icon of the Japanese brand, is reinterpreted as if it is free to express all its strength, and applied to outerwear, sweatshirts, trousers, shorts and t-shirts.

For the first time, a capsule collection for women is added to the traditional men’s line, maintaining its strong street style personality.

The colours recall the freshness of California, with clear references to Downtown L.A. graffiti.

The accessories line of backpacks, caps and visors has a touch of the original Los Angeles ’80s Hip Hop style revisited with a contemporary vision.
