Cartoon Hoodlum Caps

The DGK x Tokidoki Collaboration Uses New Era Snapbacks for Its Canvas

— November 19, 2012 — Fashion
Skateboarding company Dirty Ghetto kids joins up with the Japanese clothing and cosmetics franchise to create a DGK x Tokidoki collaboration of New Era hats.

Using the 9FIFTY snapback caps as their canvas, two companies pasted on cheeky skater cartoons suitable for any streetwear enthusiast. Images feature bandits running away on green-wheeled boards carrying bags of cash, or angry gangsters crushing cans and showing off blinging gold plated front teeth. The caps incorporate the skater and urban personality from DGK and fuse it with the comical cartoon illustrations that decorate all of Tokidoki's products.

If you thought the hat designs couldn't get anymore crazy, under the brim features more collages of cartoon hoodlums. The DGK x Tokidoki snapbacks are available at the ONSPOTZ retailer in Japan.
