Today we introduce the Good People tee, Akomplice’s latest Hyperlight print. When indoors the smoke is clear and glossy, but when worn outside the smoke turns a twisted mix of red, blue, and yellow. Some say this is our best Hyperlight graphic to date. Check out the print hidden on the inside of the shirt, as well as more colorways after the jump.
Mike and I had just flown back into Cali the day before Necessities, a group art show dedicated to good food and fine women hosted by Backside. We had planned to go back to SB when a broke down bus and Eric Flores, part owner of Backside, persuaded us to stay. With complimentary food and drinks, live DJ sets, a floury of talented artists showing their new works, and exclusive merchandise, this was the place to be for a good time. I brought a bottle of 100% Agave Tequila from Mexico to get the party crackin’. Before you knew it, I had every cool guy/girl in the building taking shots. What surprised me was how scared everybody was of tequila. Most people looked like they had seen a ghost just by looking at the bottle. But by the look in my eyes, they all new they didn’t have a chance saying no, plus there were too many cool guys in the building to say no. After we got it in there, Mike, Mona, Ligia and I rolled over to the homie David Flores‘s art studio. David has been hard at work with 92 year old legendary photographer Phil Stern for the upcoming art show at the Phil Stern Gallery. We saw some sneak peaks and they are amazing. David even tied in the Kill Mobil graphic in one of the pieces! If you live in the LA area be sure to make it out this Thursday, December 8 for the David Flores x Phil Stern collaboration series. This show is going to be huge! Check out more pics from the Necessities Exhibition after the jump.
Due to the great success of our first collab with the infamous hip-hop group Hieroglyphics, we are proud to announce the release of the Hiero x AK Mini Series available 12/9/11.
The Hieroglyphics x Akomplice snap back features Akomplice’s hyperlight bill (changes to red outside), a nice puff Hieroglyphics logo on front, and an Akomplice woven label on back. The hooded varsity jackets feature Akomplice and Hieroglyphics logos embroidered on the front chest. Both jackets are made with wool bodies, cotton sleeves, and are satin lined. Both feature a zip off hood. The tee shirts feature the Hieroglyphics logo with a hyperlight Akomplice bubble logo that appears inside the logo when the tee shirt is touched by sunlight. Each tee shirt is also hang tagged with a free download of an exclusive Hieroglyphics track. See more pics of the mini series after the jump.
Vernon Davis of the 49ers x Akomplice, project coming soon.
