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, & patience.

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

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