Bomb Story: This Adam Bomb is one of the most widely recognized and best-loved of all. It hit right at our 10-year anniversary mark and got the most mileage in an era where The Hundreds was widely distributed. Soon after this, we curtailed not just Adam Bomb, but The Hundreds, from much of commercial accessibility. In that sense, he symbolizes the end - or the BEGINNING - of an era. | Background Story: In the early 2000s, all-over-prints reigned supreme in independent streetwear. The trend was a response to the boring solids and understated color-blocking of the dominant skate and urban market. It also followed the footsteps of Nigo's A Bathing Ape camos. Smaller, T-shirt-based brands like ours tapped into the ancient screen-printing techniques of roller-printing, oversized screens, and belt-printing to execute messy patterns over seams, collars, and hemlines. In stretching our imaginations around repeating patterns, Bobby thought of Escher and tesselations. At the time, we were traveling a lot between LA and New York. Since The Hundreds was heavily influenced by the artists and culture that anchor these cities, Bobby drew a skyline that represents Los Angeles. When flipped upside down, it calls out New York City.
