Skate label Elements Skateboards works in collaboration with hip-hop group Public Enemy on the latest Bring the Noise capsule that is inspired by the brand's New York heritage.
It tells a retro design language throughout the entire capsule as the collection features items such as graphic tees, polo tops, hoodies, socks, bucket hats, skate decks, and pouches. The color palette is rooted in black and green as a nod to the rap group's signature palette. These looks are styled off the outfits worn by the group in their iconic music videos. The most notable item in the collection is the Stencil Skateboard that has a black brick wall background, co-branded logos, and spray painted details.
