After the initial drop, Wale will continue to launch collections in collaboration with various artists, who will explore diversity and what it means to be a true WWE fan.
This July, Wale is teaming up digital artist Kazeem Famuyide for the next capsule, which will be followed by another in August. For the August launch, Wale will be working with Dan “Mache” Gamache. Another release is set to drop in November with the help of Jeff Hardy. Then in January of next year, Wale will team up with Alexander-John. Then again in April, for WrestleMania, Wale will drop a solo capsule.
