Designing cool shit for Hot Wheels. I do a full new merch collection because this one ain't it. Starting off strong with the racetrack belt. The belt is the iconic rank, and the buckle is a silver car. The car purse, where the leather is embossed in the shape of a car. The tire track wallet. The orange racetrack scarf, where the cars are printed to look like going straight down the track, the tire print jeans, and the matching jacket, where the back tag is a piece of the track, the leather car backpack, a card case inspired by the track, a sweater printed with an actual hot wheel, blue wallet with the car embossed into it, leather duffel bag that looks like a stack of tires, an all over printed crewneck, boxers, a car tier shirt that looks like it's burnt, another t shirt, the full Hot Wheels collection. Hot Wheels, let's make this happen.
