Bomb Story: In the mid 2010s, we came across the work of Hawaiian-born and Bay Area bred artist Aaron Kai. So much of Aaron's style was uniquely his but also simpatico with The Hundreds. The cartoonish waves, the heavy strokes, and the cultural references spoke to us and we embarked on the first of many collaborations over the years. Aaron Kai not only ended up a close friend of the brand's through the process, but family.| Background Story: Our earliest adopters know JAGS as The Hundreds' signature pattern, in the vein of Louis Vuitton's monogram or a Burberry plaid. Bobby taught himself how to design graphics through the Adobe Suite. His first Photoshop ""doodle"" was taking the pen tool and making these jagged shapes. Years later, we would coin this repeating print on clothing, leather belts and wallets, BMX bikes, snowboards, and marketing materials as ""JAGS."" Although still used across the collection, JAGS sums up the 2000s era of The Hundreds.
