Adventures on The Wheels of Steel Hoodies!
It's the first time on hoodies. Reprinted from the Art of War album, Adventures on the Wheels of Steel is a bit of a 70's homage...
We found our friend Kenny on a bike he put together from bits and pieces of other bikes. It deserved our respect and the idea was born to pay homage to Grandmaster Flash for doing the same with funk breaks on the classic track, "The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel".
The lettering, a modified version of Benguiat Bold completes the ode to the early hiphop days. Created in 1979 by the prolific New York type designer and lettering artist Ed Benquait who amongst many other things is responsible for the logotypes on classic 70's movies Superfly and The Planet of the Apes as well as The New York Times. He was also a keen and talented jazz percussionist.
So, here is The New Adventures on the Wheels of Steel urban hoodie...
Limited Edition Hoodies
Gold print Limited Edition Always Use Clean Needles urban hoodies!
It's always been my intention for the uchi designs to weather the storms of trends and transcend fashions. There a few in particular which have constantly been in demand and as such have been coined uchi classics. I've been wanted to start documenting the story behind these classics so what better timing than with the release of the new gold print on black and brown hoodies for the best selling; Always Use Clean Needles...

I go to uchi when I have to buy clothes for my teenage son, they never fail to hit the mark and get me extra brownie points for being a cool mum.

I bought a T-Shirt here recently, and was surprised at the quality - better than a lot of other 'big name' T-Shirts I've had in the past, to say nothing of the unique designs...
