Release party+autograph signing @ Wish, October 7th, 7PM

Akomplice is proud to announce that we have teamed up with the NFL Atlanta Falcon’s Thomas DeCoud and Wish, Atlanta’s premier clothing boutique, to create a collaborative project. The project will release at 7PM on October 7th,  2010.  The release will be held at Wish, 447 Moreland Ave, Atlanta, GA 30307.

Limited to 28 (DeCoud’s jersey number) pieces that will only be available at Wish, the Thomas DeCoud X Akomplice X Wish collaboration package includes an exclusive t-shirt that retails for $35. In celebration of the release, there will be one ticket to a Falcon’s home game in the player’s friends and family seating attached to each t-shirt. 28 t-shirts, 28 game tickets, one incredible opportunity.

The t-shirt itself features a picture of a falcon wearing an Akomplice t-shirt, a Wish hat, and a pair of Jordan sneakers. DeCoud is an avid streetwear fan and has been spotted camping out in front of Wish for special releases, and Akomplice is one of his favorite brands.  DeCoud was shown wearing Akomplice in the ‘In The Streets’ feature on Atlanta CSS. This collaboration captures the essence of football, streetwear, and high end retail –  all parties involved are very excited to be able to give back to the community.

Thomas will make an appearance at Wish at 7pm on the evening of October 7th to sign autographs and meet fans.  Don’t be surprised if other Falcons members show up to offer their support, but be sure to arrive early as this limited collaboration is sure to sell out very quickly. The limited edition t-shirt and game ticket are only $35 – this is an all-in-one fun and exciting opportunity to support sports, business, and clothing.

8 tickets for Bengals game 10/24/2010
4 tickets for Buccaneers game 11/7/2010
4 tickets for Ravens game 11/11/2010

Our good friends over at Frank 151 are having a contest. Up for grabs are six Akomplice VSOP New Eras in Lavender, Teal, and Yellow. Simply go to their website, sign up, and leave a comment with your preferred color and size before Monday October 11th, and the winners will be chosen at random. Good luck!

What’s good fam.  We’ve been real busy in the lab designing some of our
favorite pieces to date.  One we really like is the “Fall” tee, which has a sewn on upside-down pocket and printed underneath is a pack of cigarettes falling to the ground (if you cop this be sure to check the message under the pocket). Also, the VSOP line has been maturing nicely with some non-graphic, cut-n-sew t-shirts, along with some real grown-man items like the Summer Cardigan. The Fall, along with the Sleeved T, Akomplice snapback hat, Lower Cut T, and Summer Cardigan are all now available on the AK store.  Click the picture to check out individual product pictures and descriptions.
