Sonic’s free spirit and sense of justice encourage friends to be their best—a resilient spirit I hope to reflect in my work,” De Guzman explained. “Shadow, with his confidence and drive, has also been an inspiration. It’s an honor to collaborate with the Sonic Team and share this collection with fans worldwide.”
