MNTGE INTRODUCES FRUITS & VEGGIES JEANS COLLECTION

by John Russel Jones

On Wednesday, April 26th, MNTGE will release “Fruits & Veggies,” the brand’s first physical products, consisting of a limited-edition collection of custom tech-enabled vintage denim and graphic tees. This will be the first-ever drop that will live on the new site platform MNTGE Market, the official destination for all upcoming physical releases from the brand.

The first MNTGE Fruits & Veggies drop will include coveted vintage fashion pieces — including expert-sourced 1-of-1 Levi’s 505s with a mix of other styles, embroidered locally in Los Angeles in an all-over fruit and vegetable pattern designed by MNTGE co-founder Sean Wotherspoon, and NFC-chipped to deliver a one-of-a-kind numbered, collectible denim art token to the owner’s digital wallet.

“The MNTGE Market launch is just one of the vehicles we’re deploying to connect the dots between our physical everyday and blockchain,” said Sean Wotherspoon. “For our first product drop, I hand-picked Levi’s vintage denim because they’re classic and have so much history and heritage — these pairs, in particular, because they have more wear and a deeper personality and characteristics you can see in their wear, natural distressing, fade, and fit. I also love fruits and veggies, so I put some of my favorites on the pants.”

The MNTGE Fruits & Veggies collection will also include a limited-edition run of MNTGE branded vintage graphic T-shirts ranging from the 1960s to 2000s constructed of well-worn ultra-soft cotton-poly, featuring a broad range of nostalgic iconography. The t-shirts will be available following the denim drop.

“Our focus is on creating a brand that is both timeless and cutting-edge, drawing inspiration from a range of vintage items to create new garments. While technology certainly plays a role in our products, it is just one of many tools we use to bring our vision to life,” said Nick Adler.

The MNTGE Fruits & Veggies denim (priced at $200 for MNTGE Pass holders and $250 for the public) will be available for purchase on MNTGE Market, https://market.mntge.io/, on April 26: MNTGE Pass holders will have first access to purchase between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. PST and public access will begin at 5:30 p.m. PST.
