Known around the world for his highly sought after customized sneakers and boots, Andre takes the fundamentals of applied art and mashes them up with what he knows about Hip Hop and its graphical expression on his newest canvas, New Era's signature 59FIFTY fitted cap.
Andre's cap focuses on the four elements of Hip Hop, on four of the 59FIFTY's six panels and "graph tags" on the rear two. The fitted, made of black leather is hand tatted with white paint.
The front two panels focus on the art of DJing and break dancing, while the right-wear panel highlights graffiti and the left-wear side calls out an MC spitting to a live audience.
A slightly hidden detail of the cap can be found on the rear right-wear panel, a laser etched Tangible Thought's logo. The cap will be featured in its own signature presentation box.
"Working with New Era seems like a natural progression from what I've been doing with customized sneakers," said Andre Trenier, Tangible Thoughts.
"New Era's 59FIFTY fitted cap not only is equivalent to a pair of one's, but it is a central item in any urban inspired days. What better a place to display my customized artwork and pay homage to Hip Hop at the same time?"
