Defy Tracksuit Preview!

2009-12-08T12:06:00.007Z

Don't adjust your screens...that's right, you really are looking at the brand new Defy Tracksuit! We had an overwhelming number of requests to design a new tracksuit so we listened to all your comments and suggestions and decided to create a limited release just in time for Christmas. This tracksuit is so limited we have only made 200 pieces in total and they'll only be available at selected stores including the King Website and Pop-Up Store in Covent Garden.....so once we sell out you'll have a hard job getting your hands on one.

The Defy Tracksuit will be available online and at the Pop-Up Store from Friday 11th December.
