Ten years ago to the month, life was breathed into the first Akomplice designs. To celebrate this momentous anniversary, we are releasing a special capsule with the famed 110 year old heritage sportswear brand: Mitchell & Ness. You can find Akomplice’s birth year, 2004, featured front and center on the cut and sew tank tops. The tagline “made in the woods” references our humble beginnings in the mountains of Colorado. While the collection celebrates our 10 year anniversary, the theme harkens back to 1994, 10 years prior to the inception of Akomplice, paying homage to an era that inspired both Mike and myself. We grew up in the 90’s, and so much about that decade influenced Akomplice. The 90’s found Wu-Tang releasing 36 Chambers, Quintin Tarantino dropping Pulp Fiction, Nirvana giving the world Nevermind, Bill Clinton getting harassed about getting head, and Jim Carey performing in Dumb and Dumber – it was a great time. Thank all of you who have supported the brand over the last 10 years, much love. The anniversary release drops Thursday, July 10th at 10:00pm EST and will be limited to our Webstore and Flagship store in Santa Barbara, CA. Check out more photos of the capsule after the jump.
