Hella Tight 'Land Of The Kings' Snapback Cap
Hella Tight has connected with Inglewood Hip-Hop group U-N-I to put together the 'Land Of The Kings' snapback cap. Titled after one of U-N-I's latest tracks, the cap styling takes it back to the old-school script theme made popular by Sport Specialties back in the late 80's. The color way is inspired by Lakers purple and gold with satin under visor and matching top button. The front Kings word mark is done up in raised embroidery. As always, each cap ordered from HT is shipped in a Hella Tight cap box. Available here.
