Bomb #24439

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. This is the unreleased green version of the apple - now you've got both sweet and sour!| Background Story: Horizontal stripes, especially of the yarn-dyed variety, are a staple of The Hundreds' collection. Earlier on, they were derived from the surf knits and beachgoer patterns that graced the backs of Californians in the 1980s. Examples include Hang Ten, OP, Quiksilver, and Gotcha. In the following decade, independent skate brands and rave companies capitalized on stripes across boxy, baggy tops. Whether they're fatter stripes across neighborhood-sanctioned Charlie Browns or pinstripes across suiting or a baseball jersey, The Hundreds' stripes speak to a spectrum of subcultures.
