The exclusive product releases included pieces from the BAIT x Voltron apparel collection, including the bold “Lions” tee, the 3M-detailed “Lions” coach jacket, and the blue and yellow “Lions” socks that double as Voltron’s legs. The event also helped launch a BAIT-exclusive black version of Finesse’s Voltron classic skateboard deck.
Meanwhile, the second floor of the BAIT LA store was converted into a special Voltron art exhibition. The walls were lined with various prints and paintings to celebrate the culture of Voltron. Contributors included DreamWorks and Tsunami Syndicate artists, who were on hand to answer questions about their work. The event was catered by the Grilled Cheese truck and Recess truck. DJ Long Island of the DUNKXCHANGE spun classic hip-hop tracks all night.
