LimeWire, the popular peer-to-peer file sharing app from the early aughts that was resurrected in 2022 as an NFT marketplace, is back once again. But this time it’s just the platform’s retro branding that’s making a comeback as part of a new officially licensed apparel collection from lifestyle brand Dumbgood.

The collection includes a $120 Playlist Work Jacket, a $90 Disc Burning Green Zip Up Hoodie, and a $90 Gnutella Network Beige Pullover covered in iconography from the burnable CD-R discs that were an important accessory for those using the original LimeWire app.

The collection also features a trio of $42 t-shirts, including a charcoal option with a schematic detailing how the Gnutella peer-to-peer file sharing network worked. All of the items are available now, with the exception of the work jacket which isn’t expected to ship until December 10th.

For those not into the retro vibes of this collection or who weren’t around during the internet’s heyday of music piracy, LimeWire also operates an online store with hoodies, hats, and t-shirts featuring the updated branding used to promote the current LimeWire token and network.
