OTR by Bob part 2

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

The other half of the OTR by Bob: OTR 2 Year Anniversary Collection includes the OTR Thought Bubble tee… This joint is extra dope because it incorporates all of the alternate meanings of OTR that we all tossed around before the store even existed. I’m real proud of the work Bob is doing with his Defy DC brand, and it was def an honor to collaborate with the homie on something for the shop… Def be on the lookout for more collabs in the future!!!

Ohio Against the World Red x Black + Black x Black PreSale

Monday, February 20th, 2012

A couple weeks back we dropped the black on black Ohio Against the World crew and we couldn’t keep them on the shelves, so we’ve decided to do another run for everybody that missed out. It’s a very small run so you might want to jump on the presale we’re offering, starting today!!!

Along with the black on black we are doing a red/black run to go along with it… don’t sleep on that presale either.
