Even though there aren’t many design elements that make a nod to Jay-Z and Kanye’s Watch The Throne Tour, the New Era Black Yankees Snakeskin Hat is a tribute to the current tour both hip-hop artists are currently on.
For those who have been to the Watch The Throne concert, chances are you’ve seen Jay-Z sport the New Era Black Yankees Snakeskin Hat. The snapback features the baseball team’s logo written in white on the front with a lambskin leather strap and gold buckle in the back. The highlight is the brim, which features a genuine black python snakeskin that gives the cap a nice textured, layered look.
Only 10 of these hats were made, so I suggest putting in an order now if you want one.
