This is comprised of a selection of printed tees that are clean and functional. It takes the [oversized S/S tee by Graphpaper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-ss26) as the base foundation of the collaboration and details it with OAMC's artwork. It comes from a minimal design language as the front of the top has Graphpaper's logo seen alongside OAMC's logo in a block shape. The back has a large grid design that is marked with the words "Critical Optimism" right at the top. There are two color options for the tees either black and orange or white and green.
