While You Wait... The Blueprint
New material is coming but while you wait check this sick production done at the 5 Pointz in Queens, NY. This piece is a blueprint of architects that advanced the art of Hip-Hop culture. Starting at the top Kool Herc, Ken Swift, Skeme, Grandmaster Caz, & others rocking the final piece... the hat.

Adidas Shape Shifter Pattern Fitted
These fitteds were posted about 3 months ago (read) when they were available only through Bodega Boston. Now they have been officially released in limited quantities to other stores mostly on the east coast. So with the release here are close up shots of the caps. The fitteds are cotton with the shape pattern printed all over & specific parts in raised embroidery. The front logos are totally flipped with alternatating colors & come strictly in NBA with most teams available. These are definitely some of the illest fitted caps out now.

Crack from HUF
Check these upcoming 5950 fitteds by Benny Gold for HUF. Another "crack" pattern with a direct hook to the Nike / HUF Quake kicks. The larger pattern lets more of the fabric show giving it a more subtle appeal. The color combos are real cool especially the black tonal with neon green. Get yours soon at HUF SF.
