LEGO continues with the trend of unexpected collaborations with this new announcement of an adult clothing range featuring LEGO Ninjago. Produced by UK clothing company Hype the range launches January 15th.
The range includes shirts, jackets and shorts as well as accessories like bags and hats. Some of the designs are a bit out their and probably not my style but I do like some of the items. I’m just going to chuck up a huge gallery and you can make your own call on these.

ABOUT HYPE.:
Reality creates dreams, and dreams become reality.
Who would have thought, the words ‘Get Your Own’ inscribed onto a lighter combined with a simple script over a floral-printed tee would turn into a household name. Becoming an instantly-recognisable global brand.HYPE. started off with a small office space in Leicester, rapidly taking over the whole building. Employees would grab a skateboard to get from unit to unit, dodging security, and taking photoshoots on the roof.
With the use of Social platforms, HYPE. made their mark in the fashion world. With global superstars such as Jay-Z, Cara Delevingne and Tom Hardy representing the brand.
Currently, HYPE. have two offices, one in the heart of Shoreditch, London, and the headquarters residing in a-then-abandoned warehouse. Transformed with the Trotters Independent Trading Co three-wheeler, The Hype and Hounds pub, a games area with Time Crisis 2 and interior and exterior graffiti.
The first batch of stock sold out within a matter of hours after winning a t-shirt printing competition on Facebook. The magic just keeps on happening, and HYPE. can now be found in over 175 UK stockists and 27 territories worldwide.

The cynic in me says I wish they’d just focus on getting sets into stores. That said, I accept I’m not in the demographic this is targetted at ;).
Man this range is a hot mess
The LEGO Group has strayed so far from the swim lane they’re in another pool! But as Andrew states, we not in the target demographic.
This is ridiculous. Why don’t they concentrate on making sure that there is sufficient stuff available rather than doing this nonsense……..
