Working on the PUMA x The Marathon Clothing collaboration with Nipsey Hussle remains one of the most meaningful moments of my design career. Nipsey was deeply involved in every creative decision, from fabric selection to fit, color, and silhouette. I still remember developing the sweatsuit design as he stood beside me, fully engaged, giving real-time feedback on proportion, feel, and detail.
Every piece in that capsule was built around his exact measurements and personal style, blending sportswear precision with street authenticity. The collection reflected his vision of empowerment, community, and legacy, a design story about perseverance and purpose. Following his passing, our team continued to honor that vision, ensuring that every garment stayed true to the intention he carried into each conversation and fitting.
