Duck Down Records x New Era Custom 59Fiftys

Legendary Hip Hop recording label Duck Down Records recently collaborated with New Era to produce a set of custom 59Fiftys representing nothing but the best of Bucktown, USA.

The first fitted cap carries the namesake of emcee and original black moon member, Buckshot Shorty, and features a raised embroidered script on a Dodgers blue 59Fifty.

The last two 59Fiftys lay it down for the Boot Camp Clik's one and only Sean Price. For those in the know ( ie. NYC heads, circa early ninties), the the white on white fitted pays homage to Sean P's DECEP roots, with tonal white embroidery and the P in the wordmark in Decepticon purple. These caps are fire.

Look for these custom 59Fiftys online, or at premium fitted retailers near you.
