Rubber Road co-founder Ben Grant told MCV: We have been working with the Bandai Namco team and the Tekken studio on this project since mid last year, to develop a range of cool retro designs, celebrating the forthcoming Tekken 7 launch.
It’s incredible to think that this popular franchise is now 22 years old, having been originally released on PS1 back in 1995. Retail support has been phenomenal, and we expect strong consumer demand on the limited stocks.”
