This limited-edition holiday pack will sure to be a hot item on Santa’s list.

 

The jacket will be available in 2 limited styles and will all feature the authentic Starter patch as well as an exclusive Ty Mopkins patch. The satin white body with red sleeves style affectionately named the “Candy Cane” will feature select NBA, MLB and NFL team logo’s executed in patent leather, the perfect match back to the collab’s LFS-1 shoes.

The Starter x Ty Mopkins LFS-1 features a special “Santa sack” filled with a variety of shoelaces to give your LFS-1 custom looks all holiday long. A heritage low-cut silhouette gives a clean, streamlined look featuring genuine patent leather, a bold rubber outsole, lace-up closures, and secondary red and white laces for the ultimate holiday look. The shoes will be available exclusively at Starter.com and will retail for $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. We will continue to raise the bar and celebrate sports license apparel by simply looking for the star” — Ty Mopkins.

 

Mopkins has collaborated with many prominent brands such as Nike, Adidas and New Era to add his unique touch to limited releases for the past several years. As a pillar for the city of Detroit, Mopkins continues to constantly give back to the community.
