The new collection of old friendship from Kyiv-based brands Optimus Gang X Syndicate Kyiv is a tribute to childhood memories — those faded imprints from a time when it felt like time itself didn’t exist.
The pieces in the new drop evoke nostalgia for the final days of childhood. Familiar silhouettes, recognizable prints, and textures that feel like home — memories you can pull out of your closet any day. That mark of a ball, echoing back to days of running around in new jeans, when you’d unexpectedly bump into friends while crossing a field — and suddenly find yourself in a game you couldn’t say no to. Every scuff or mark left on your clothes is part of the story — the ball’s imprint from Optimus X Syndicate, carried through the years. It’s the football vibe of the streets — now wearable. The “square” scrawled hastily in chalk on the pavement, because you still need time to show off your brand-new sneakers. For now, they hang around your neck, waiting for their moment of glory — the evening match is about to kick off! The girl you like is watching the game. You gave her your hoodie, dirty from the field, so she wouldn’t be cold. For that moment, everything feels like pure happiness — at least until your mom calls you home from the window. Today, you put on your Optimus X Syndicate tee. And just like that, a flood of naïve but honest memories comes back — and you realize: this really is a new collection of an old friendship.
