Colab has been doing their thing since their first collection, I did a feature on eBoy x Colab sunnies. Colab continues to bring a dope selection of designers and artists together for their release of Colab Season 2. The line up includes: Dmote, Geneviève Gauckler, Josh Petherick, Marok and Tonite/Fergadelic.
