This marks the first partnership between the stylish sportswear label FILA FUSION and the eclectic urban fashion brand TEAM WANG Design.

Blending Athleticism with Fashion in the FILA FUSION and TEAM WANG Design Collection
Drawing inspiration from the innovative sport of parkour, this unique collaboration capsule between Jackson Wang and FILA FUSION infuses Wang’s personal athletic preferences into FUSION’s flagship functional clothing. This results in versatile garments suitable for a variety of situations. The collection features traditional Eastern printing and dyeing techniques. Moreover, it was highlighted by the iconic blue and black hues synonymous with both brands.
Adhering to TEAM WANG design’s established gender-neutral ethos, the capsule showcases sleek silhouettes and understated color schemes. The collection blends seamlessly with FILA FUSION’s athletic and fashionable essence. The minimalist design trend prevalent among contemporary youth, who fluidly move between athletic and everyday settings, is fully embraced in this collection, offering consumers a fresh and upscale dressing experience.
“As a brand representing the Orient, TEAM WANG design desires to convey our shared beliefs and visions, as well as the importance of「DONG」for each of us. We constantly seek our own paths to happiness in our world, moving towards our dreams and life destinations.
All the unseen perseverance becomes meaningful because of our passion. This challenging journey with ups and downs always broadens our understanding of life. However, please believe that we are the core of it all. Amid difficulties and obstacles, you are the answer, not someone else or something external. Keeping moving forward, KNOW YOURSELF, MAKE YOUR OWN HISTORY.”

The video stands as a homage by FILA FUSION and TEAM WANG design to the essence of niche, trendy sports. Additionally, it serves as an inspiration for the varied lifestyles of modern youth.
