The black-owned premium streetwear brand DIPLOMACY is back. The label returns, partnering with NBA New Orleans Pelicans player Wes Iwundu for an outstanding new capsule collection. Dubbed the Free The Future capsule, the collection features a timely, inspiring, and uplifting approach. A portion of proceeds from the capsule will be donated to Houston’s Boys & Girls Club, which is close to Iwundu’s heart.
The new collection includes a selection of streetwear staples. The lineup consists of statement tees, hoodies, shorts, socks, and accessories all made in California. The hoodies are crafted from high-quality fabrics such as combed cotton and brushed loopback, French Terry.
Iwundu spoke about the collaboration and the collection. He stated: “With virus raging across the world, and so much economic hardship, racial injustice, and political division, this is a time for all of us to imagine the world as it could be, adding “We may have physically been in lockdown, but the key to escape is in our imagination.”
Creative Director Eric Archibald also spoke, saying, “The NBA is where fashion and self-expression is today… basketball players have taken their style and activism to the next level.” The Free the Future, Diplomacy x Wes Iwundu capsule collection will be available for purchase on JUNETEENTH June 19th, 2021.
