The Originators x Mitchell & Ness Snapback Caps
LA based, The Originators, is gearing up to release two new snapback caps in connection with nostalgia company, Mitchell & Ness later this year. The first one is a standard wool 1973 cap using full raised embroidery on the year and "Birth Of Hip-Hop" in flat embroidery on the back. I am personally looking forward to this piece, there is just something about the big year look and the significant meaning behind this important year. The second is an Originators branded style that comes with light gray top button, eyelets, and top visor. Both caps are constructed using Mitchell & Ness' throwback, snapback shape, which has been popping off in the market lately. Stay posted on UA for official info on release date and availability.
