wonder if the mixtape cover inspired the colorway? a bunch of people are doing black and teal this season. trendsettaaaaaa!
I am using this as a jumping off point for an open letter to Obey.
Dear Shepard Fairey,
I am a fan first and foremost so please don’t take this the wrong way. However, you and your brand Obey are, at this point, probably still “bigger” than Wale. All we ask for is some recognition if we in fact inspired this hoodie’s namesake and colorway. If it’s too late for recognition, a few size runs in the hoodie would be awesome. Maybe even like a limited edition Wale version with the lace logo on it? My contact info is on the site. Hope to hear from you soon.
Best,
Dan
