French skateboard squad Hélas come through with a killer range of goods with the Hélas Summer '16 Quickstrike range.
The range sees a welcome return of previous styles but updated through different colours and details alongside some new graphic prints and outerwear styles.
After staying under the radar for the beginning of the season we get the fruits of the Hélas teams labour with a mix of 90's infused sportswear, vintage american sports logos and the cleanly executed logo goods that Hélas do so well.
The timeless 'Baller' 6 panel cap makes a return just in time for summer and we're happy to have the easy to wear style gracing our shelves once again, Contrast Hélas Baller embroidery features with the signature Hélas branded buckle closure.
The latter part of the head-wear range sees the very 90's Hélas 'H' 6 panel cap in a trio of summery colours. The cap takes cues from vintage 'dad cap' construction and has an unstructured crown for a mellow fit. A hit of Hélas 'H' embroidery adorns the front of the cap and looks like a logo from a decades old designer sports label that never was, a perfect homage to the clothes that influence the guys behind Hélas.
The Hélas Summer '6 range features a mix of classic styles from previous drops such as the super clean Hélas 'Classic' T-shirt in both short and long sleeve versions alongside the 'Bando' design which features a colour-block update on Hélas' signature Umbrella logo. Their light hearted take on vintage sportswear logos feature with the return of the 'Polo Club' motif whilst we get a fresh design from the French designers with the Hélas 'Supersonics' T-shirt-A colourful nob to both the French roots as well as their sport styled aesthetic.
Rounding off the collection is a duo of jackets which given the current state of the English summer is completely on point for the season.
The light weight 90's inspired Hélas Olympic Squad Tracksuit Jacket is packed full of throwback details, from the branded rubber zip pull and red seam piping that's reminiscent of Gary Lineker's England football jackets to the two-tone arm panelling-all in all it is the perfect jacket for those summer evening skates and barbeques.
Finishing off the Hélas Summer '16 Quickstrike range is the water resistant Hélas Rain Jacket which is kitted out in all black with a contrast hit of left side branding, a panelled hood with adjustable draw-cord and a sealed full front zip.
