Written By Bob Babjak - May 03 2021

While synthetic dyes are now the industry standard, we honor the ancient method for this capsule by hand dipping Made in the USA, 100% cotton, brushback French terry hoodies and sweatpants in all natural indigo dye. The clothes were then stonewashed to achieve the unique texture, finish and soft hand feel to go along with a quintessentially spring tone.

"GIVE FRESH AIR" TO THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF PHILADELPHIA

Written By Bob Babjak - March 23 2021

March, as almost every sneakerhead knows, has become synonymous with Air Max Month, celebrating the birth of Nike's revolutionary Air Max 1 sneaker on March 26. This year Nike is transcending the usual agenda of special releases by introducing Give Fresh Air, a community initiative that unifies the sneaker community around a shared passion to ignite change. Throughout March, we’re collaborating with Nike to inspire communities to give “Air” through shoe donations that support the Boys & Girls Club of Philadelphia (@bgcphila), specifically their Wissahickon chapter. 

Stop by the shop all month to drop off donations of new or gently sneakers in both kids and adult sizes. Together we can do more than just look fresh, we can help to provide a fresh start for the children of our city.
