These caps are a more subtle approach to the comic book meets New Era project, with single logos forming the highlight of each hat. Four styles feature Batman, the Riddler, Cat Woman and Superman. These are set to release March 15th at European New Era outlets.
The 27 year old artistic genius, Jean-Michel Basquiat, gained popularity as an artist by doing graffiti in the Subway as well as the ghetto ares of New York.

Reebok has commissioned the art of Basquiat and has transformed the NPC UK sneaker into a piece of wearable art. These shoes are available starting February 5th at Atmos Tokyo.
The latest from Visvim is a series inspired by a famous Buddhist temple, the Jokhang Monastery whichis located on Barkhor Square in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, China. Two shoe models are included in this collection which includes the Christo slippers and the FBT’s. Each model comes in three colorways, black, beige and green.
