The 2017 F/W collection featured inspiration from the cartoon Akira. The 2018 F/W collection focused on creating a crushing effect by garment-dying the fabric, and the 2019 F/W collection expresses the theme of spacesuits in a strong way.

=== REEBOK X KANGHYUK Collaboration === In collaboration with Reebok Advent Concept Team, SRS Sol Fury is produced. The new “Sol Fury” created by Kanghyuk reflects his philosophy, including dismantling, reconstruction, and original upcycling. The various torn airbag materials were arranged irregularly and the fabric that seemed to be sewn by hand was used as the upper part of Fury, and Fury's shoe lace system also added a barcode trademark in zigzag form. All the pieces were followed by the brand's signature stitching, and each shoe was given a unique number to add speciality.

=== Umbro X KANGHYUK Collaboration === Umbro and Kang Hyuk's first collaboration collection "DIAMOND MARS FC" was created under the theme of vast space and unknown Mars, starting with the question, "What will the first Mars (MARS) soccer team look like?" The two brands expressed the football scene on Mars, where everything will be newly defined, through the fictional team DIAMOND MARS FC, which has a creative interpretation.
