New York Kicks Premium Beanie

This piece started underground.

New York Kicks is one of the longest-standing designs in the collection, created in 2013 on the L train platform at Union Square while selling prints in the subway. Built entirely by hand, the concept flips Knicks into Kicks—a deceptively difficult lettering challenge solved through hours of careful pencil work, ink, and patience.

Inspired by hanging sneakers on telephone wires and a childhood love of Chuck Taylors, the design captures a classic urban symbol—part farewell, part territory marker, part street mythology. Telephone poles, pigeons, and meticulously detailed sneakers come together as a tribute to old-school basketball culture and the early days of an artist finding his voice underground.

The beanie is made from 100% acrylic, offering lightweight warmth, durability, and a classic everyday fit.
