More details below.
All “MPU5” mesh athletic pieces feature color-block paneled cut-and-sew construction, with a combination of graphic treatments including prints, embroideries, and woven labels.
Both tops and bottoms feature the Wave Relay text and logo prints, as well as a NBA-style logo embroidery featuring the silhouette of their flagship product - the MPU5 smart radio.
The tops uniquely feature a NBA-style woven size label on the exterior.

The MPU5 Mesh Jersey is inspired by Wave Relay’s own in-house basketball jerseys that were used by members of their team in basketball tournaments against nearby tech companies.
We took the concept of their initial simple screen-printed blanks and elevated it to a fully-fleshed NBA concept.
The original in-house team jersey was also famously worn by Post Malone on several occasions, including the Joe Rogan Podcast, and Kill Tony.
The Alpine/Blue colorway on offer is most closely inspired by the team jersey worn by Posty.

An alternate colorway of Wave Relay’s in-house basketball jersey that QILO Tactical’s founder Mike was gifted on his first visit to Persistent Systems HQ in NYC.
Perhaps our favorite color combo of the collection.
The Alpine/Blue features the Wave Relay logo in accordance with their corporate brand guidelines - the unmistakable shade of Blue that is their corporate color, as well as being fitting for a tech company.
The color-blocked side panels match this corporate blue color.
All shorts feature internal waistband drawstrings and are 7” inseam - the perfect goldilocks length for a short of this style.

MPU5 POOL FLOAT
Created as a SHOT Show ‘26 special for the pool party at Circa. A maximalist representation of Wave Relay’s flagship product - the MPU5 smart radio.
These are truly oversized - measuring about 10 feet in overall length (mostly due to antenna).
NOTE: these do not ship with motorized inflation pumps, but those can be purchased for cheap on Amazon or elsewhere.

The (MPU)5-Star Hotel Robe
Have you ever stolen the bathrobe from a 5-Star Hotel? Well that’s the feeling you get with these….
Nice, thick, absorbent French Terry material, Wave Relay embroideries with matching blue piping along the lapel, center opening, and pockets.
Ideal for pool parties, saunas post-workout, smoking a cigar while reading paper, or a really nice bathroom setup.
