Konami has announced a line of clothing inspired by Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. The threads go on sale April 11, 2011 and encompass a wide variety of products. Sadly for the ladies, it’s a men’s clothing line. Here are some details from the press release:
Available for purchase online in US and Canada beginning on April 11, 2011, the collection, featuring well-known Peace Walker images, will include coats, sweatshirts, pants, t-shirts and hats, all inspired by clothing worn by characters in game. Additional items in the clothing line will be released quarterly and surrounding certain special events throughout the year.
The clothing line was created in partnership with musterbrand LLC, a global design group focused on bringing digital creations to the real world.
It’s a good thing Konami didn’t send this press release out on April 1 because I would have dismissed it as a joke. As it is, I want to know if you would proudly wear some Peace Walker branded threads. Perhaps I’ll grow a Solid Snake mullet to complete the look.
…what?
I know that some codes gave you T-shirts for costumes and such, but actual clothing? That you buy? Pardon me for asking, but WHY?
Lots of people love wearing videogame clothing. Some people want to be like Solid Snake. Personally, I tend not to wear videogame shirts, simply because I get so many for free. There are way too many game writers that wear nothing but videogame t-shirts. I tend to dress a little bit better than those guys.
