Primitive Shoes '90 Infrared' New Era Fitted Cap

Primitive Shoes has just released their Air Max 90 Infrared Pack, which includes the infamous Air Max 90 kicks, the Justene Jaro tees, and their latest 2Tone P New Era fitted caps. The colors are obvious connections to the Max 90's but Primitive steps it up a bit by inserting two extra fabrics to the mix. The crown is set off with standard wool which is hooked up to a gray, melton wool visor. The final touch comes in a performance mesh inside lining, similar to the one found on the sneaker's toe box section. Purchase the cap now through Primitive in-store or online.
