Stussy finally come with some goodness

After months of being unimpressed by Stussy and watching them infiltrate the floor of Selfridges Birmingham, I was starting to lose faith in my once favourite brand.

Finally something good is coming from the Stussy camp: The custom made "Our Gangs '2" series, a collaboration with some big players in the world of art and graffiti with work from Mr Cartoon, Gary Panter and John Pound to produce a group of custom made tees.

Here's some previous....

Mr. Cartoon:

He has tattooed the bodies of Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Eminem, Method Man, Travis Barker, Scott Raynor, Justin Timberlake, and Beyoncé Knowles. In addition to tattoos, Machado's work has been used by Nike, Toyota, T-Mobile and in Grand Theft Auto.
