Our Summer collection is themed on a three word ethos that we try to live and breathe, “For The Love.” We hope you can feel the love in our Summer 2014 offering. This has been one of our most anticipated collections and a staff favorite all around. The collection was just featured on Complex and many other prominent lifestyle websites. HighSnobiety even said our paradise umbrella “is sure to be the umbrella of the year” which was a honor to hear. We are very excited to share this collection with you. Not only is it one of our most extensive offerings, but it also showcases a batch of our fresh in-house patterns adorned on a range of cut and sew pieces. Fresh pieces such as the blue dilation anorak and black stripe moan joggers are complemented by classic Akomplice humor hidden subtly and not so subtly throughout the collection. See the hieroglyphics printed on the inside of the Egyptian tee to know what we mean. This season we have an offering for those wanting fresh, clean, classic pieces, and also for those of you that are looking to put some fire in your summer wardrobe. Take the Miss Cleo tee for example, we won’t spoil the surprise, but we found her new job where callers are even more welcome. We strive to always innovate. Founded for the love and created with love. The collection will drop worldwide on Saturday, June 7th at Akomplice retailers and our Webstore. Hope you enjoy!

For our Summer 2014 lookbook, we decided to continue our lineage of journalistic lookbooks and cover our home state’s new law, which legalized recreational marijuana. Wherever we go, this is something that people ask us about, so we knew this needed to be documented.  In the process of shooting the lookbook, we watched Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s CNN special titled “WEED”, which showcased how marijuana was helping save the lives of patients experiencing deadly seizures and helping others battle cancer. This reinvigorated the need to expose the medical powers of this plant once included in the United States pharmacopoeia. To shoot the lookbook we got a special invite to Native Root’s grow house here in our home state of Colorado. It felt like a school field trip when we saw the growing process and all the steps involved. With over 500 pounds of marijuana on hand, safe rooms mirrored maximum security vaults and served as fertile ground to display the newest collection. The Summer release served as a nice contrast against the magnificent jungle of plants, which was modeled by Jeff Cormack of indie band South of France and Mass Prod of Foodchain. Denver local photographer Jason Siegel shot the lookbook in both the Native Roots’s grow house and at Colorado’s 420 rally. Collection bangers include long and short sleeve button ups, jogger pants, sublimation tees and a slew of detailed cut and sew patterns, not to mention custom tie-dyes. With the first $40 million in tax revenue generated from Denver’s legal marijuana trade being donated to school construction, our “smoke weed for the children” stance has never been firmer. Look for the Summer Collection to debut at Akomplice retailers worldwide and our Webstore in the next 2 to 3 weeks. Also, be sure to stay up to date on the groundbreaking medical advances that this once blacklisted plant species is making possible. Don’t forget to check out the whole Summer cookbook after the jump.

J-Live dropped by our Denver Office and kicked it with the Akomplice team recently. J-Live wanted to share an a cappella with Akomplice since the content of the a cappella covered the same content many different graphics have touched on. Check his verse talking about some really real ish.
