3M Reflective Print
"Glows under headlights — safety meets streetwear."
3M reflective printing uses retroreflective glass-bead technology that bounces direct light straight back to its source. Under headlights or flash photography, the print appears to glow brilliantly white.
It is widely used in technical streetwear, cycling apparel, runner-friendly jackets, and concept-driven drops where the light reaction is part of the storytelling — invisible by day, illuminated by night.
