We all want to shoot zombies. Or maybe that is just me. Zombie movies and zombie TV series have been all the rage for decades now. Resident Evil movies were a blockbuster sensation, and The Walking Dead completely captivated the world. Out of the zombie IPs out there, The Last of Us is one of the most popular, thanks to the two immensely popular video games and the recent TV adaptation starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. A character-driven story that asks questions about morality and grief, along with pitting the protagonists against marauders, government oppression, and, of course, the undead, proved the perfect formula for success. While zombie content isn’t usually the place we find style inspiration, the Wrangler x The Last of Us collaboration gives us the opportunity to look like stylish survivors and wear some of the best post-apocalyptic workwear you can find.
Part I is now available, Part II is on the way
While the first half of this collaboration hit the shelves last week, the second half will be available on May 1, round about the time we are halfway through or coming up on the end of our second go-round with Joel and Ellie. The tenacity of our favorite zombie fighters is the bedrock of the collection.
We’re honored to work alongside HBO® and Sony Pictures Consumer Products to create a collection that speaks to the resilience, ruggedness, and authenticity of both our brand and the show’s characters. These pieces are built to last, just like the spirit of those who fight to survive in The Last of Us. —John Meagher, Vice President of Global Brand Marketing at Wrangler
