Stüssy pays homage to the late Reggae icon, Bob Marley, in a wide-ranging collaboration of Summer-tinged short and long-sleeve T-shirts. Black & White portraits of Marley are juxtaposed next to graphics that tap into his influential body of work. References to Kaya, Rastaman Vibration, African Herbsman as well as his native record label, Tuff Gong, are featured throughout the collection. Reggae-inspired colors steeped in bright yellows and greens are highlighted in direct contrast to other, more neutral-toned Tees as well: light khaki and pastel blue; Rich tie-dyes and graphics round out the commemorative spread.
