I don’t really get it, but if there’s one colorway that makes kaiju fans practically wet themselves, it’s pink. With clear pink, I’m guessing well, hopefully folks be close by a urinal. For open-minded fans who don’t bar western designers, this clear pink, Tim Biskup x T9G Rangeas is the new Triple Play. We previously [...]
