Release Day: Tightly Laced Kicks "Graffiti Legends" Series 1

The day is almost upon us.  More than 3 months ago, we embarked on a mission to create a fresh t-shirt.  The goal was to make them the best possible quality shirt, from the material, to the design.  The idea is to highlight the talented artists from the area and to ensure that the yearly "Tightly Laced Kicks" event is on the forefront of peoples mind as we plan the next TLK event in the fall of 2011.  Sneakers, Graffiti, Street Culture and Hip Hop all wrapped up in a classic presentation. The shirts will go on sale this weekend so cop one before you miss out!
About the design:
The goal for the first design of the Tightly Laced Kicks: Graffiti Legends Series 1 is sleekness and sophistication.  From the high quality 100% cotton combed shirt, to the iconic sneaker that adorns the front.  We wanted the design to be recognizable and play on the name of the company. The artist, Deme 5, executed the concept perfectly... the laces of the tightly laced sneaker extend and integrate into the design for a symmetry that ties it all together.
