Bomb Story: Artist Joshua Vides collaborated with us on this Adam Bomb, stylized in his signature form. Vides’ origins stem from streetwear, having gotten his start at The Hundreds and then founding his own brand CLSC. Today, Vides is regarded in the next school of contemporary artists, having worked with MCA Chicago, Fendi, and BMW. His Reality to Idea perspective of the world has inspired many to see their surroundings differently.| Background Story:
If there was ever a pattern that encapsulated The Hundreds, it would be Paisley. Our first big hit, the one that put us on the map, was the all-over-print Paisley hoodie from 2005. There's an unabridged version of this story in Bobby's book, but that sweatshirt sold so much, and sold out so quickly overnight, that we allocated all of those funds to building our first flagship retail store on the corner of Fairfax and Rosewood. The pattern was designed in 2004, on a lesser-remembered piece called the ""Bandana"" zip-up. Over the years, those clusters of buta droplets continued onto The Hundreds T-shirts, across cut-n-sew collections, New Era fitteds, and collaborations with artists. The Paisley print not only defined us, but greater streetwear, as it trickled down into the work of later brands and designers.
