"This year Stussy turns thirty years young. As with their XXV year celebrations, a special collection of colab tees have been minted to mark the mighty milestone. The roll call of brands involved in the Stussy XXX tee project reads like a who’s who of the street scene: Supreme, NEIGHBORHOOD, Bounty Hunter, PAM, Leilow, The Hideout, Slam Jam, Claw, HELLZ, Firmament, Last Laugh, Hyde SK and Forty Percent (a revival of 40% Against Rights, TET’s brand prior to W)Taps). It’s a two-tiered release, with the drops hitting the US on March 6 and March 20th."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: As my birthday week officially kicks into high gear, it is only right that I highlight my fellow progressive fashion aristocracy members @ Stussy as they, too, celebrate their "dirty 30".
Yes, once upon a time, when counter culture was NOT hawked over the department store counter and skateboarders actually knew how to skate, Shawn Stussy (NOTE: Whom later partnered with Frank Sinatra Jr. in 1984) transformed "Surf Wear" by simply designing surfboards, t-shirts, shorts and caps with himself and his tastes serving as the litmus test for living fresh. His handwritten "Stussy" signature was a Pilot marker prophecy come to life ... and the rest is history. Fast forward to 2010, and O.G. "skatewear" (NOTE: All "wear" labels ironed-on to generalized classificatory style names are painfully inept, but, do remain the "last best hope" that our current vocabulary has for describing dope ... lol) has been elevated to the heights of corner store couture. In today's largely post brand whore world, the aesthetically astute realize that Versace and Stussy can co-exist and even be worn @ the same time ... no need to marginalize brilliance.
Now, with 30 years in the game, the streetwear "Spawn Of Shawn" (NOTE: Patent pending ... lol) have assembled to toast this pioneering brand and ALL of the big names are here - Supreme, NEIGHBORHOOD, Bounty Hunter, Leilow, The Hideout, Slam Jam, Claw, HELLZ and Hyde SK, et. al. To commemorate this momentous occasion, each "son-son" brand has crafted a Stussy XXX Anniversary t-shirt with the big homie to show some much appreciated limited edition L.O.V.E.
This 2-tier release hits the US Of A on March 6 and March 20th. Cheers!
