The Hundreds and Grizzly Griptape introduces its second collaboration offering, rooted in friendship and mutual respect between both brands and feature illustrations done by prolific graffiti artist, illustrator, and war photographer KC Ortiz.
“The pieces all stand alone but there is a narrative connecting all the work with Adam and Grizzly’s adventure against the system. They are two buddies thrown into situations out of their control, over and over (like any good buddy franchise), and they are able to team up together and beat their enemies in their own style and terms, like true rebels do,” Ortiz said of the collection.
For the official word from The Hundreds, please follow the jump.
The collection melds inspiration from early 2000s-era streetwear—defined by its vivid, clashing colors and funky, irreverent designs—with classic buddy films and video games from the ‘80s, resulting in an action-packed, humorous, and vivid collection. Inspired by the likes of Contra and Rambo, the graphics are a narrative in which we follow Grizzly the bear and Adam Bomb through a high-stakes adventure—all illustrations done by prolific graffiti artist, illustrator, and war photographer KC Ortiz.

The capsule collection features a range of t-shirts, long sleeves, hoodies, & a limited edition set of prints—all of which depict different challenges that Grizzly and Adam must face as a duo, depicted by KC Ortiz.
