As the RockersNYC 2007 Fall Dopethrone collection release draws near we are able to reveal two more tees from the line. These two tees titled Annihilation and Protest & Survive represent RockersNYC’s calling for the war mongers to stop their senseless slaughter of the innocents. Annihilation is a 23 year old line drawing by Marc Rude (of The Misfits Earth A.D fame) and colored by RockersNYC’s Marcus Burrowes, while Protest & Survive works with the themes “hugs are all the arms we need” and “doves before swords.” These tees will be available sooner rather than later at all RockersNYC accounts.
Back in 2005, Hong Kong’s premier skate shop 8five2 put together a special collaborative t-shirt with LA skate brand Diamond Supply Co. Using the same provocative slogan “Hong Mutha’ Fuck n’ Kong!” as before, In4mation has now given their own little twist on this latest t-shirt. The tee comes in both black and white and are available in limited quantities now at 8five2.

From their humble beginnings in 1997 in Prince Edward district’s Allied Plaza, Hong Kong brand Dusty has built up a global identity which far outreaches the small size of their initial store front. Now boasting flagship stores around Hong Kong and Asia, their large imprint has also garnered the attention from brands such as G-Shock, Eric Haze, Budweiser, Freshjive and Medicom Toy in the past. It’s also worth noting that Dusty’s achievement in the industry resulted in their appearance in Steven Vogel’s book Streetwear.
“Rebel without a pause” is a slogan and a focal point to which Dusty derives its design direction. Combining low and high end fashion together as one, they intersect those thoughts with quality and the desire for cutting edge products. Here’s a look at some of Dusty’s latest products which include some of their collaboration items with Andy Warhol USA producing the Andy Warhol by Dusty Collection.
