The aNYthing x Act Like You Know [capsule collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/born-x-raised-1) united the [urban street wear brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cp-company-x-beams) with the BMX troop. The timing is perfect, considering Act Like You Know's third DVD, showcasing the crew's DIY style, has just been released.

Furthermore, their tough-as-nails attitude and rebellious energy are translated into the pages of the lookbook. To keep with the grass-roots vibe, the lookbook was shot entirely on [grainy 35mm film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-on-one-collection) with a point-and-shoot camera. Ultimately, the lookbook captures the essence of the bustling metropolis known as the 'Big Apple.'

If you consider yourself someone from "the wrong side of the tracks," you'll definitely enjoy the anarchistic spirit from the aNYthing x Act Like You Know summer collection. The DVD and collection are available via the web store for those rebels without a cause.
