Beyond hyped and honored to have the classic graffiti handstyle of New York OG Eli Morgan Gesner on this new apparel collection. Eli wanted to do some longsleeve T-shirts with “TransWorld SKATEboarding” going down the sleeves. We did a collection of pieces in heather gray with green and yellow colorblocks giving a nod to vintage tennis apparel. Then Eli capped it off with a chunky red, white, and blue TWS logo for a bucket hat for this summer’s 250th birthday of the United States.
Big shout out to Eli for blessing us with design inspiration from Shut to Zoo York to present day. Cop ’em all here!
For a sample of Eli’s incredible storytelling, check out his tour of the Brooklyn Banks he gave us last year:

And Eli might have been the first in New York City to strap on a snowboard and hit handrails in Central Park:
