APPLEBUM – Top of Empire State T-Shirts

With its roots in Hip Hop and its culture, Japanese APPLEBUM have taken a page out of the Hip Hop history by printing a monumental page from The Source magazine that shows the reviews of both Nas and Jay Z on one page. This graphic pays tribute to the two of the legends of New York City and two influential MCs that have left an impression on many people. With the impact of the graphic photo print, the base t-shirt is kept basic in black or white with APPLEBUM woven label on the left sleeve. Currently available at APPLEBUM stockists and online store.Words by: Masa for Freshness
