NIGO Gives the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon a Moncler Touch

by

As a gamer who’s always been fascinated by the intersections of fashion, automobiles, and technology, this collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and Moncler, orchestrated by the legendary NIGO, is nothing short of a masterpiece. The G-Class Past II Future is a testament to how 90s urban culture continues to shape our contemporary world, much like how retro pixel art has evolved in video games over the years.

Mercedes-Benz has started a fresh phase in its partnership with Moncler, presenting the limited-edition G-Class Past II Future at the “City of Genius” show in Shanghai. This unique model, styled by fashion legend NIGO, represents an advancement from a 1990s G-Class, blending timeless design with modern opulence for a contemporary look.

NIGO’s unique vision for the G-Class is demonstrated through “Project G-Class Past II Future,” a singular art piece that has sparked a fresh limited edition series. The redesigned G-Class sports a streamlined, two-toned olive green and grey exterior, accented with black and gold details, as well as distinctive features like a foldable windscreen and a rear-mounted spare wheel. The interior cabin reflects the past with its plaid seat upholstery, while golden and orange accents link the vehicle to the collaborative fashion line.

20 pieces of the revamped G-Class II from the future will be manufactured, making it a unique piece in Mercedes-Benz’s 45-year history of the G-Class line. This exclusive model aims to combine nostalgia with modernity, showcasing how NIGO’s reinterpretation of ’90s urban culture has given it a contemporary allure.

Beyond just the G-Class, this partnership encompasses a line of fashion capsules scheduled to debut in April 2025. This collection embodies the same blend of vintage and contemporary aesthetics, showcasing unisex streetwear adorned with vibrant patterns and classic shapes.
