Off Safety is a display show that celebrates hip-hop culture through collections of visuals that commemorate the industry. Recently, it collaborated with Wu-Tang on a special collection of t-shirts that boast images of the Wu-Tang Clan to be exclusively available at Urban Outfitters. The graphic t-shirts feature members Ghostface, GZA, Masta Killa, RZA and ODB, who adorn the front of the shirts, which are priced at $44 each.
The Melrose Urban Outfitters saw drop earlier than other locations and to celebrate, the launch was accompanied by a special event on October 25th. Attendees who purchased a tee also received tickets to the HVW8 gallery space to view the entire photo exhibit of every original Wu-Tang Clan member.
