Bomb Story: In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, The Hundreds New York had to come to the aid of the city someway, somehow. In 2012, The Hundreds introduced Relief Adam. All proceeds went to Direct Relief International, benefiting those affected by the superstorm. On the back of the shirt, our signature Solid Bomb back-neck print was distinguished with a simple mantra, “Come together.” | 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. In stretching our imaginations around repeating patterns, Bobby thought of Escher and tesselations. At the time, we were traveling a lot between LA and New York. Since The Hundreds was heavily influenced by the artists and culture that anchor these cities, Bobby drew a skyline that represents Los Angeles. When flipped upside down, it calls out New York City.
