SP17 Men's Lookbook

What’s going on in our backyard in LA and around the country with the ICE raids has been incredibly tough to see. The villainization of immigrants and uprooting of our communities has been devastating to our friends, families, and neighbors.
  We were approached by our good friend Francisco Reyes Jr. (@nevermade) with a graphic that seemed to visually and ideologically hit home for us. Cisco wanted to get the graphic out there and we were happy to support the cause. We encourage you to support by pre-ordering an Abolish ICE t-shirt or donating directly to The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA).
  
All net profits from the t-shirt will go to CHIRLA,
a trusted 501(c)(3) nonprofit. CHIRLA provides legal services, pushes for policy reform, and fights to achieve a just society fully inclusive of immigrants.
  
Your support helps keep families together and communities protected.

Merci for celebrating Fête de la Musique with us! With music and community at the heart of what we do, celebrating our one year anniversary in Paris during Fête de la Musique was truly special.On June 21, our Paris store transformed into an open stage alongside the rest of the city and you all showed up to make it unforgettable. From the DJs to the dancing in the streets, it was a night we won’t forget. A big thank you to everyone who came through, and to the artists who brought the energy:

This year OBEY Clothing is back as the official merch partner for the Down The Rabbit Hole festival for the third time.Down The Rabbit Hole (DTRH) is a vibrant three-day music and arts festival held annually in early July at 'The Green Hills' in Ewijk, the Netherlands. Known for its curated balance of renowned headliners and emerging talent, DTRH offers a full sensory and communal experience set in a stunning natural landscape.Attendees often describe the atmosphere as whimsical and intimate, with fairy-tale charm, serene woodland pathways, and a plethora of spaces to unwind. The festival’s strong commitment to art, sustainability, and well-being makes it one of the most imaginative and beloved events in the Dutch festival calendar. It is this eccentric spirit and intimate set-up which makes our partnership feel so aligned. OBEY is honoured to collaborate with DTRH on exclusive merchandise reflecting the festival’s unique energy. Moreover, we have special artist collaborations this year. We hope to see you at The Green Hills the first weekend of July; it’s going to be fun. To give you a first glimpse, we headed into the woods with our friend and talented photographer Mette Krah, who beautifully captured the magical transition from day into night.This collection is exclusively available at the DTRH festival.

It was only natural for us to collaborate with our friend Isma, owner of CHOP CHOP LOVE—a natural wine bar in the heart of Paris’s 10th arrondissement, in Strasbourg Saint-Denis.Isma, along with his two partners Julien Pham and Ramy Ndione, also owns one of our favorite Parisian cafés next door: La Chope des Artistes. So when it comes to all things food and wine, we listen to Isma.For summer, we created a special orange sparkling wine from La Sorga, with a label designed by Paris-based artist and CHOP CHOP crew member Wu Yué. Yué is a multidisciplinary artist originally from Beijing who moved to Paris at the age of 8. He works across illustration, painting, animation, directing, and drawing—mediums that all reflect the essence of his creative world.The collaboration also includes a t-shirt designed by Yué and a limited-edition, upcycled crossbody wine bag made by our friends from Unbegun. Available June 25th exclusively at CHOP CHOP LOVE and OBEY PARIS Flagship store.

James Kerr, a Charleston, South Carolina native now living in New York City. By day, he works as a sound technician, but skating remains a big part of his identity. James got his tattoo after watching the OBEY Giant documentary. The story of Shepard Fairey, a fellow South Carolina native, struck a chord with him. The hometown connection and artistic inspiration made it an easy choice for James to commemorate the influence with a tattoo inked by a friend. Check him out as he shares the story behind his OBEY tattoo.
