Bomb Story: At the start of the lockdown, we were nervous about our audience's appetite for clothing. Our first collaboration out the gates was with Blue the Great, a close friend of the brand and a popular artist who has worked with TDE and the Jordan Brand. The Hundreds by Blue the Great not only succeeded, but it blew past all expectations. This collaboration set the tone for the rest of the pandemic year as The Hundreds' momentum climbed and Blue's artwork continued to explode. This is one of two pieces from that collection: Blue Adam incorporates the artist's signature ""mummification"" around our mascot.| 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.
