KICKS/HI NEWSLETTER (6/21).

|x| What’s good, fam! Congratulations to the Miami Heat on winning another title! The biggest winner in all of this is really a tie between Eddie Curry and Juwan Howard. Curry, who hasn’t suited up for a single game this year, actually got a raise for losing weight before the start of the season…aaaaand he just collected a championship ring, which he can dip in fondue and attempt to eat in the off season. Juwan Howard is actually the only one of the storied Fab Five Michigan basketball team that has won an NBA title. Sorry C.Webb, Well, I bet that lady who wore Lebron’s beach towel of a sweatband after their Game 4 win is super stoked now because all that dried sweat is now championship dried sweat. Rad!

KICKS/HI SUMMER STANDARDS / SATURDAY (6/23) RELEASE:

Just in time for the first official weekend of summer 2012, we hitting you with some new colorways + pattern fills of our signature “CREST” & “STANDARD LOGO” tees…with a full collection of new t-shirt designs + caps to hit in a couple of weeks! WE BACK LIKE WE NEVER LEFT, MUSTARDFATHERS!

Our wild popular “CREST” logo in a red on black tee, black on royal blue tee & seaweed green on white tee.

Can we all please take a minute out of our day today to have a moment of silence for one of the founding members of Crooks & Castles: Chris “Lewds” Natalio, who unexpectedly passed away earlier this month. Our condolences to his immediate family & his extended Crooks family. This is a tough loss for anyone who had the honor of meeting Chris. His legacy lives on through his son and his Crooks brothers. Rest in paradise, homie. One love.

Crooks has put out some of the best tank tops this year. Hands down. How is it that I own the most tank tops I’ve ever had, but am in the worst shape of my life? -_-
