KILL WHITE TEE!

Thursday, August 22nd, 2013

When I was a young impressionable weblogger and I thought I could change the world via my internet connection I started my own clothing line. I called it KILL WHITE TEE! The thought was that plain white tee shirts could be killed with style and swagger.

Plain white tees did die tho’ under the influence of people with common sense. But now the scourge of white tees is returning with an even more ominous agenda… Kanye West collaborates with a high end fashion label to sell a $120 PLAIN WHITE TEE.

It was after that moment I received a call from longtime DP.com supporter GabeRockka, who recently ignited his own clothing brand called Artillery Concern. Gabe suggested that it was time to bring back KILL WHITE TEE! to return some sensibility to the white tee game and at the same time keep it evolutionary and funky.

The two(2) designs we are using for this hyper-limited run of KILL WHITE TEE! products will be the iconographic image of Tommie Smith, Juan Carlos and Peter Norman on the medal podium at the Mexico City Olympiad in 1968.

KILL WHITE TEE! will be placed above the image.

The ladies tee won’t take a step back in subtlety. We choose Pam Grier in her empowering role as Coffy to put an end to the plain white tee madness in ladies tapered sizes.

Support DP.com and Artillery Concern if you fux with fashion forward Hip-Hop. I’ll post a link for where they’ll be available as soon as the shirts are printed next week.

Thank you Internets.

The Kid Griffey always had fire shoes even if he never got his ‘chipwich.

The key to Outfit Architecture are your footings (foundation) and your roofing. I’m gonna build this ‘fit around the baby blue, blacks and grey on these Griffey Max. Heaven help me to find some 3M Scotchlite apparel to add on to this shit.

Hanging Out With The Sneaker Galactus…

galactus

Chad from Obsessive Sneaker Disorder nicknamed himself Sneaker Galactus. It’s pretty apropos for someone who has his kicks collecting skills and the 2,000 pairs to prove it. Chad invited me to the archives after we left the SoleXchange event and got back to Brooklyn.

Chad is a classic sneaker collector. He doesn’t focus on simply one brand or one style. His collection runs the gamut of everything under the sun. While I saw a bunch of shoes I loved I fell in love with a few of his LeBron 4 signature shoes. Its an evolved spaceboot complete with Nike Air for when you run out of oxygen.

The LeBron 4 ‘Fruity Pebbles’ are cracktavius. I feel like the inspiration for these came from a shoe I designed using the same nickname while at the Nike Lab on Elizabeth Street back in 2005.
