adidas Orignals Five-Two 3 Project | XLarge Superstar


Next in line is a collaboration with Japan’s XLarge branch. They chose to work on the Superstar and gave it a more vivid design, after we have previously seen the more subtle Stone Island and Porter collaborations. We love seeing the mix of the classic XLarge and adidas logos on the heel.

Groundbreaking on it’s 1991 opening, LA’s X-Large store helped define streetwear as we know it with a mix of utilitarian basics and the cutting edge. Blending generation X lifestyle with a living large theme in both mind state and denim fit, the brand and the Superstar’s timeless, fat-lace friendly curves have been allied since day one, and designed with X-Large’s bold FW09 season in mind.

Alternating between lime green, purple, pink and blue snakeskin effect leathers, broken up by black suede 3-Stripes, complete with white X-LARGE lettering, while a matching suede tongue and heeltab display both brand’s logos. The white rubber shell keeps things striking, while a branded sockliner and no less that six sets of coloured laces emblazoned with the slogan, “Getting no respect since ‘91” keeps things appropriately versatile.

The Hundreds x Ben G x Freshcotton | Amsterdam Pack


The Hundreds is proud to present, a special collaboration with two of Amsterdam’s heaviest of hitters, Ben G and Freshcotton.

Ben G is a skateboard boutique in Amsterdam that Benny Komala opened in June, 2005. Because Benny grew up in the skate scene, he was able to recognize the niche market of older skaters that wasn’t being addressed. With the majority of skate shops filling their racks with brands focusing on younger skaters, Ben G has broken the mold by carrying lines geared toward those skateboarders with a more mature, discerning taste. Ben G was the first store to carry The Hundreds and has remained a steadfast supporter since then.

Freshcotton is the number one street/skate online retailer in the Netherlands. In the beginning they only offered their customers hard-to-find tees, but now, eight years later, they sell both men and women’s clothing, music, books, shoes and accessories to fit every need.
The collaboration comes in the form of a hat and a t-shirt. The icon on the front of the cap is derived from Amsterdam’s coat-of-arms. With black and red being traditional the traditional Amsterdam colorway, this was the obvious choice for the hat. The green underside of the bill is a both a play on Amsterdam’s “greens,” offerings (Heineken and marijuana) and it is the classic snapback color. The three Xs on the side are taken directly from the three Saint Andrew’s Crosses from Amsterdam’s coat of arms, but they’re also interpreted by many as the other XXX for which Amsterdam is known.

The tee plays upon the XXX as well. Those who’ve visited Amsterdam recall the red-brown bollards that separate from street. Those bollards, or posts, are emblazoned with the three Saint Andrew’s Crosses as well and are known as, “Amsterdammertje.” Amsterdammertje translates literally to, “little one from Amsterdam.”

Look for these at Ben G Saturday, July 25th and online at, Freshcotton.com, Wednesday, July 29th.
