Starter Taps Ty Mopkins for a special holiday capsule

Starter has teamed up for the second time with fashion and lifestyle director Ty Mopkins on a special holiday collection. The capsule consists of a classic Starter jacket and an LFS-1 sneaker in a red and white colourway.

The jacket, which is called Candy Cane, will come in two styles and will both feature the patch Authentic starter as well as an exclusive Ty Mopkins patch. The satin white body with red sleeves will also feature select NBA, MLB and NFL team logos in patent leather, a nod to the LFS-1 shoes.

The jackets, which will retail for $200 or $220, will be available at Foot Locker, select specialty retailers and the Starter e-commerce site in the United States starting Wednesday.

The sneakers, which feature a low-top patent leather silhouette with a rubber outsole, and lace-up closures, come with a special Santa bag filled with a variety of laces in red and white. They will be available exclusively on Starter.com and will cost $100.

"We wanted to bring some excitement to retail with this Christmas release and give our supporters something different in the market like we have done so many times before with special releases," Mopkins said. "We will continue to raise the bar and celebrate sports license apparel by simply looking for the star. "

In the past, Mopkins has collaborated with other sports brands such as Nike, Adidas and New Era.
