Artist Shepard Fairey continues his OBEY campaign, which has more than a decade of history, by moving into the wearables category. As a new medium to explore, Shepard and apparel designer Mike T have combined forces to offer a line which best reflects their influences. Being diverse as they are, mixing elements of classic punk rock, early hip hop, skate and street sensibility has been a constant within the line. Pieces often pull from timeless American classics and mix in subtle twists which immediately identify them as OBEY. The line features clean well thought out designs which speaks for itself without having to be over logo'd.

" The Jazzy lyrics, the fat harmonies, and the nastee tracks, it's all about the music," says Tracey.
