Akomplice’s roots in Brazil run deep. Our latest philanthropic effort stems from our satellite office in South Brazil and is a testament to our investment in youth culture. For the impending capsule collection, we have partnered with Original Kids on a two-piece collaborative t-shirt series. The capsule collection is our latest installment in a long lineage of philanthropy. Rather than follow the typical charity structure, however, we brought the beneficiaries, in this case foster children in South Brazil, into the creative framework. The children were presented with a pair of images and encouraged to add their own artistic interpretation through the medium of paint. The freshly reinterpreted images were then scanned, printed and emblazoned on a pair of truly unique t-shirts and crew necks. In addition to fostering creativity, we are going to donate 50% of the profits garnered from the capsule collection to the same foster care children that were tapped to collaborate. While we maintain a stronghold in hip-hop culture through our work with Raekwon, J Dilla, and Joey Bada$$, it’s our unwavering commitment to philanthropy that sets us apart within the industry. This is not the first time we have chosen to give back, and it will not be the last. Look for the capsule collection to be available worldwide at Akomplice retailers, and hit our webstore Saturday, April 26th at 2:26PM EST. Check out the rest of the photos after the jump.
The Akomplice Spring 2 Collection is inspired by some of the World’s most magical plants and depicts the journey from growth to experimental after affects.

Staying true to contentious subject matter, the collection’s inspiration draws from our Colorado roots where Marijuana has been recently legalized. From Poppy plants emblazoned across t-shirts to mushroom-clad socks, we begin the Spring 2 Collection by showcasing magic plants as they live in nature, but that’s only half the story. The second half of the collection deposits you thick into the affects of these natural phenomena. Free-flowing, cloud-like, omni-color prints seize your senses as they canvas sleeves, elbow patches, bucket hats and tank tops. The magic plants represented in the first half of the collection manifest as the images being depicted in the second half of the collection, portraying an entire process. The collection is available on our
