Bomb Story: In the mid 2010s, we came across the work of Hawaiian-born and Bay Area bred artist Aaron Kai. So much of Aaron's style was uniquely his but also simpatico with The Hundreds. The cartoonish waves, the heavy strokes, and the cultural references spoke to us and we embarked on the first of many collaborations over the years. Aaron Kai not only ended up a close friend of the brand's through the process, but family.| Background Story: The foundation of The Hundreds is streetwear, and at the foundation of streetwear is the graphic T-shirt. From our beginnings in the Fall of 2003, The Hundreds has relied on the tubular, open-ended cotton of a boxy, blank as our canvas. This is the same T-shirt that Bobby and Ben wore growing up, mixing and matching them 3 for $10 at the local swap meets. The independent skate brands of the 1990s, the streetwear brands of the early 2000s, all co-signed the same cut. Even when the clothing industry chased ringspun apparel or fashion silhouettes, The Hundreds held to the inspirational baseline. Our solid backgrounds are hues from the original swatch card that we built the brand off of.
