Bomb Story: It's safe to say that youth culture hones in on two decades prior as a focal point for nostalgia and trend resurgence. In the early years of The Hundreds (early 2000s), we scanned '80s comics and '90s cartoons. Twenty years later, we hearken back to the 2000s thesmselves, which emphasized anime as the preferred storytelling form. Bobby grew up on Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, Trigun: The Planet Gunsmoke, and Cowboy Bebop. Most recently, The Hundreds collaborated with One Piece. Anime Adam tips its hat to a significant piece of Asian pop culture that went global. | Background Story: Horizontal stripes, especially of the yarn-dyed variety, are a staple of The Hundreds' collection. Earlier on, they were derived from the surf knits and beachgoer patterns that graced the backs of Californians in the 1980s. Examples include Hang Ten, OP, Quiksilver, and Gotcha. In the following decade, independent skate brands and rave companies capitalized on stripes across boxy, baggy tops. Whether they're fatter stripes across neighborhood-sanctioned Charlie Browns or pinstripes across suiting or a baseball jersey, The Hundreds' stripes speak to a spectrum of subcultures.
