New 'LDRS Interlock' Fitteds Now on Sale
Leaders has added a new, secondary, interlock logo to their sheet. Unlike the four letter stack version we all know, Leaders takes a bit of a creative twist on this new interlock. The new logo interlocks three letters and also forms an R from the D by adding decenders. The multi-color up version gives LDRS alot room to release infinite colorways going forward. Leaders released the bottom three fitteds yesterday and most likely blew out. Available at both locations, phone orders also welcomed!
