Kaws is known for his multidisciplinary practice spanning painting, sculpture and design, as well as his reinterpretations of recognizable characters through his distinctive style.

The collection will debut in person at the Fanatics Fest NYC from July 16 to 19, while the full collection, will launch globally on July 20 through Fanatics, MLB Shop, the MLB Flagship Store in New York City, Nike and Complex sales channels, as well as select Yankees and Dodgers team stores.
