Bomb Story: The Hundreds borrows much of its inspiration from childhood nostalgia and retro culture, two characteristics shared by 1980s school supplies and falltime youth accessories. This rendition of Adam Bomb pays homage to the popular designers of the time that dressed our binders with unicorns, kittens, and rainbows. | Background Story: In the early 2000s, all-over-prints reigned supreme in independent streetwear. The trend was a response to the boring solids and understated color-blocking of the dominant skate and urban market. It also followed the footsteps of Nigo's A Bathing Ape camos. Smaller, T-shirt-based brands like ours tapped into the ancient screen-printing techniques of roller-printing, oversized screens, and belt-printing to execute messy patterns over seams, collars, and hemlines. Of all the all-over-prints The Hundreds was responsible for during this time, Cherries was Ben's least favorite. But Bobby loved the kitschy nature, Americana flair, and the rockabilly/punk connotations.
