Silicon Valley, CA — September 2026

KOLAK is preparing a two-part streetwear release built around fighting-game culture, Silicon Valley energy and the overlap between technology, conventions and the street.

LIMITED DROP — AVAILABLE FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY

This is a limited KOLAK drop. Pieces from both chapters will be available only during their respective release windows. Once a drop closes, availability is not guaranteed to return.

PART I — OCTOBER 2026
PART II — COMING LATER

KOLAK ENTERS PLAYER ONE

KOLAK’s next chapter is taking shape at the intersection of gaming, technology and streetwear.

The upcoming release draws from the visual language and competitive energy associated with fighting games, while keeping the execution rooted in KOLAK’s own Silicon Valley identity. Rather than approaching the idea as traditional gaming merchandise, the brand is treating the project as a broader design world—one built around character systems, arcade culture, digital interfaces, competition and collectibility.

The result is intended to feel equally at home in a convention center, a tech campus, a creative studio, a sneaker event or on the street.

BUILT FOR SILICON VALLEY

The collection is heavily influenced by the environment surrounding KOLAK: late nights behind screens, convention halls, gaming setups, developers moving between panels, collectors tracking limited releases and streetwear enthusiasts occupying the same spaces.

That crossover defines the project’s audience—tech enthusiasts, gamers, convention attendees, designers, developers, collectors, cosplayers, sneakerheads and streetwear fans.

As KOLAK has continued developing the concept, the project has built a dedicated following around that overlap of fashion, technology and gaming culture.

THE DESIGN LANGUAGE

Expect the release to explore references to fighters, bosses, character-select screens, hidden stages, futuristic interfaces, arcade graphics and final-level energy.

Those influences are being filtered through KOLAK’s own silhouettes, graphics and styling rather than reproduced as direct game merchandise. The goal is to create pieces that feel like they belong to a larger KOLAK universe—recognizable to gaming fans, but still grounded in streetwear.

STREET FIGHTER RETURNS TO THE BIG SCREEN

The timing of KOLAK’s first chapter also lands during a major moment for fighting-game culture.

On October 16, 2026, Capcom’s Street Fighter returns to theaters in a new live-action film directed by Kitao Sakurai, with Paramount Pictures handling theatrical distribution. The film brings Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and the World Warrior universe back to the big screen for a new generation.

For KOLAK, the release window reflects the same larger cultural shift already driving the project: gaming, technology, character design, competition and streetwear increasingly occupying the same space.

AN UNOFFICIAL, INDEPENDENT RELEASE

KOLAK’s upcoming collection is an independently developed, unofficial release inspired by fighting-game culture, including Capcom and Street Fighter.

It is not an official collaboration, licensed product, sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation with Capcom, Street Fighter, Paramount Pictures, Legendary Entertainment or the 2026 film.

PART I — OCTOBER 2026

The first KOLAK releases begin arriving in October 2026 as a limited-time drop, opening the first chapter of the project. Part I will only be available during its release window. Part II will follow later with additional designs and references expanding the world.

Consider October the character-select screen.
