RZA and crew are teaming up with Live Nation Merchandise for relaunch of a classic clothing line.
Originally launched in 1995, Wu Wear was one of hip-hop’s first clothing lines and was sold at major retailers like Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s until being discontinued in 2008. Nearly a decade later and nearing the 25th anniversary of the release of the group’s iconic 1993 album “Enter The Wu-Tang Clan: 36 Chambers,” Diggs and Grant are revitalizing the brand for 2017 with new designs and high-end items for the next generation of Shaolin warriors.
“Wu Wear was the first hip-hop brand to be in the windows on Macy’s 34th St.,” RZA told Billboard. “Now that we are aware and re-energized for our legacy, we felt it was the proper time to reenter the market. Not in a boutique way, but to go big, once again.”
The collection makes its first debut this week during Agenda in Las Vegas, Nevada (Aug. 14-16) with pieces available shipping to retail in October for the 2017 holiday season, as well as select pop-up locations. A spring 2018 launch will incorporate printables as well as fashion knits, jackets, wovens, bottoms and accessories.
