Some new hats just came in, the Overgrown Snap Backs in Black and White and the Crash Flex-Fit. Both hats fit perfect and the Animal interior taping really sets it off as a nice cap.

St. Anthony's is a high school in Jersey City that is widely recognized as having one of the best high school basketball programs in the country, if not the best. While most succesfull programs are usually highly attended, well funded high schools, St. Anthony's is a poor inner city high school the size of an elementary school with under 250 students that doesn't even have its own gym. The program is run by Bob Hurley, a former probation officer from Jersey City who knows from years of first hand experience what can happen to the youth if no one steps in and provides a platform for them to harness their skills and get out of their neighborhoods. Other than winning, his main mission is keeping kids off the streets and getting them the education they need to survive, all but two of his players have gone on to college. St. Anthony's has been struggling financially for a long time and really needs any help it can get to keep its doors open.

We printed a limited run of shirts that will only be available through the online store and ALL profits will be donated to the school, although this will by no means save St. Anthony's, at this point anything will help. It would be a great loss to Jersey City if the school had to close its doors for good.

The all new RS rims just got in. Made out of 7-series aluminum they have a short sidewall design, similar to our previous LM rims, that is ideal for brakeless riding (there is still enough sidewall to work with brakes though). While the outside may look similar, the internal structure is all new and build up is with traditional lacing now. Available with a brushed finish anodized in black, blue, purple and red. Weight: 15.9 oz
