— March 1, 2012 — Fashion
The 5boro X Carhartt SS 2012 collaboration is for the ultra-chill, laid-back skater dude with nothing to do but cruise. The capsule collection is designed by Pontus Alv and Mark Nardelli and strictly follows a black-white-canary motif.

The curation includes stellar shell coat and a prison-pocket button up. The apparel is simple and sturdy, designed for skating and chilling. Three urban-inspired decks were designed with street-perspective photographs in tribute to New York. Each deck comes with a fanzine of the 5boro team and Carharatt products. Also included is a set of 53mm wheels used by the 5boro team.

The 5boro X Carhartt SS 2012 collection pays homage to the street lifestyle of New York and looks forward to the wayward future with the modern yellow detailing.
