You know Mighty Healthy is 40 Dawg’s family. Them cats is my peoples too, and maybe one day they might could retro the Albee Square Mall t-shirt, esoecially since the developer is demolishing the building at this very moment.
I fucks with these cats because they represent for true Hip-Hop heads. Mighty Healthy gets down kind of like this website does. They produce shit that you have to examine for the subtext and layered meanings. I know what you’re thinking now, “GTFOH! These dudes are just a t-shirt company!” Yes and no. T-shirts now are first and foremost lifestyle items. They transmit your influence and your state of mind. I find a blank white t-shirt to be the favorite item of people with nothing going on in their brains.
Mighty Healthy studies pop culture on a professorial level. Seriously. That may be the thing that that has stopped them from going nuclear is the fact that they are too smart with their designs. I hope they get a liftoff this summer. With soooo many brands in the streetwear game it is gonna be a dogfight out there (no Michael Vick). I’m rolling with Mighty Healthy. Are you with me?
i been down since “LISTEN TO GHOSTFACE”…
yea better late than never right?
“They produce shit that you have to examine for the subtext and layered meanings. I know what you’re thinking now”
well what does it mean when its just a shirt that says mighty healthy on the front
^ see, exactly, you are confounded by all the possible meanings.
just really getting into the line. But I’m not really a t-shirt type of dude
Never go the chance to cop it, but that “Listen To Ghostface” shirt was brilliant. And if you can’t figure out why, it may be too late.
Their style is immaculate.
There needs to be a Mighty Healthy store in Philly. Dallas, please make this happen.
FACT: 99.8% of white in Brooklyn do not know the term “Bucktown” (see cap above), and that includes half of white who own Talib Kweli or Mos Def records (er, “downloads”).
It’s a strange world.
^And those are just some of the subtle details spawned of the creative minds behind it.
Trying to keep pace with the “Old New York”, before neighboorhoods we’re Corcoranized with 4-6 letter names with alternating capital and lower case letters and run ramshod by carpetbaggers, “luxury” tenements, and real estate speculators.
We’re all born and bred 30-something NYers who knows that life in New York ain’t nothing like “Friends” or “Sex In The City”. Its not about appealing to the lowest common demominator, or making witty “urban safari” souvenir shirts. Its paying an intelligent homage to our youth and our memories and keeping that spirit alive.
Take a look around the site and the store. Thanks Dallas and thanks everyone here who takes a look.
40D aka Mighty Drewpreme aka Accounts Payable aka Fuck You Pay Me
Just the name of the brand referencing my fav. song gains a W imo.
