Gcores Industries and PlayStation™ Join Forces Again
The worlds of fashion and gaming collide once again as Gcores Industries returns with an exciting launch of their second installment in the PlayStation™ licensed apparel series. Kicking off on July 26th at the SOMSOC GALLERY in Harajuku, Tokyo, this collection can only be found in-store, marking an exclusive opportunity for fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
Gcores Industries, renowned for its innovative approach to design, first collaborated with PlayStation™ back in 2019. Their debut collection not only showcased the iconic industrial design of the original PlayStation™ but also blended it with a retro sports aesthetic from the 90s, resulting in highly acclaimed fashion pieces. After six years, the two have once again teamed up to present a fresh collection, this time inspired by the latest generation of PlayStation™ consoles. The duo promises to redefine classic elements while introducing a series that resonates with both nostalgia and modernity.
A Closer Look at the New Collection
The new line-up consists of five high-quality pieces that are perfect for the upcoming season, ideal for casual wear and gaming events. These include:
1.
Gcores Industries x PlayStation Color-Blocked Hooded Zip-Up Jacket
This stylish jacket features a symmetrical pattern inspired by the iconic 'P' silhouette, skillfully crafted with three varying shades of the same color. The design includes modular color blocking that provides a multi-dimensional optical effect, while reflective piping along the shoulder line enhances its contours. Made from lightweight, water-resistant fabric, it incorporates anti-static treatment and UPF30+ for sun protection—perfect for sporting activities.
2.
Gcores Industries x PlayStation Color-Blocked Short-Sleeve T-Shirt
This T-shirt reimagines the evolutionary journey of the gaming console through a striking combination of light gray and dark blue colors.

Crafted from all-cotton materials, it ensures comfort alongside a modern aesthetic.

Featuring a double-layered design split between knit and woven fabric, these shorts showcase stylized curves inspired by the PlayStation™5. The durable, yet soft, material promises comfort while maintaining a firm grip on style. The PlayStation embroidered logo along the side adds a distinctive touch.
