Bomb Story: We are proudest not of fashion collections or streetwear pieces, but of the relationships we've built and the next generation we've helped raise. Nothing makes us happier than to see men and women who grew up under The Hundred's tutelage reigning in their own storied careers. Umi Wagoner was one of our first shop employees, who then went on to manage The Hundreds Los Angeles during the foundational RSWD years. He then moved to Tacoma, Washington and opened ETC, a streetwear boutique that holds it down for his community. For ETC's 2-year anniversary, we partnered with Umi and his team on a capsule collection. We offered him our Apple Bomb for the line since Washington is known as the Apple state.| 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.
