According to the New York Daily News, the fashion collaboration between Puma and Hussle’s TMC (The Marathon Continues) line will be available for purchase beginning Sept. 5.

As Hussle’s team explained in a post to Instagram, the β€œcollaborative capsule” collection was one that the slain rapper had been working on last year, β€œflying to meetings, reviewing samples, bringing in materials he liked, and most importantly ensuring that it reflected his style authentically with no compromise.”

No details yet on what all the collection will include, but, as the post indicates, it will definitely featureΒ khakis and track suits.

Hussle was no stranger to Puma, as Page Six notes, having served as a face of the brand prior to his death, and workedΒ with the company on various community service projects.

Puma and Hussle’s team teased the fact that the fashion collaboration was β€œcoming soon” this past spring.

And Hussle himself had shared news of the collaborationΒ in a post he made to Instagram March 4 β€” just weeks before he was gunned down in front of his Marathon clothing store in Los Angeles.
