Kidrobot continues to push their clothing as well as their toys and especially the way they keep releasing monthly new goods just like they used to do with their toys, makes it pretty interesting. For the month of August they also have some nice releases waiting for you. We present them to you now here.

In terms of clothing they releases new hoodies, trackjackets, and crewnecks. Most interesting is for sure the TILT Thought Bubble Crew Neck and kicks to match! A black colorway of the hugely popular print from the French bubble fetishist limited to 256 pieces. And the new KR x TILT x JB Classics hi top goes along with the crewneck.
In terms of toys the most exciting release is for sure the 8″ Insa Dunny. Otherwise you will see some interesting new works by artist Kozik and more.
Check it out after the jump.
