Gone are the days of Ivy League prep being all about polished blazers, stiff white shirts and looking like you’re about to close a deal on Wall Street. Let’s be real, campus style today is just as much about laid-back streetwear as it is about buttoned-up tradition. Rising stars Les Deux clearly got the memo after a successful first drop with Yale University—and now they’re back with a second limited-edition release, launching this time with Zalando.

For this collab the duo leans further into the sportier, street-style side of college life. Creative Director of Les Deux Mathias H. Jensen said: "Preppy and street are our history as a brand, so this release explores the history of preppy and street. Yale is one of the original pillars of collegiate style, so we paired that all-American authenticity with those slouchy '90s streetwear cuts." Retaining that unmistakable Ivy League energy, the pieces are now amped up with new prints and boxy fits. Think mesh tanks, denim double sets, and technical nylon varsity jackets that will have you looking like you’re straight out of a ‘90s coming-of-age film. And because no Ivy League collab is complete without some good old school pride, the pair have sprinkled in classic Yale graphics, including the legendary Handsome Dan bulldog.

More neutral tones get a fresh upgrade thanks to rich Ivy League green and golden yellow accents, with the color palette staying true to tradition. The best part? With unisex pieces and kids sizes everyone can get in on the action. Future Yale alumni, anyone?

To celebrate the launch, Les Deux and Zalando transformed Villa Elisabeth in Berlin into the ultimate playground for hoops, music, and community last week. Teaming up with FBL and the Berlin Braves, they brought Berlin’s top ballers together for a tournament of 1-vs-1 games to test their skills. Who doesn’t love a college basketball game?

The limited Les Deux x Yale collection is now available at Les Deux and Zalando.
