It's been said before, but it always bears repeating that DoubleDownNYC was one of the first brands ever on Digital Gravel, and suffice it to say that you're more likely to find these old school cats on subway cars than bandwagons any day of the week. Today, they continue to bring the spirit of '84 back with a collection of goodies that'll shake up your dusty memories and wake up some nostalgia for the good ol' days of Hip Hop. We've got 3 new t-shirts, 2 nylon color-blocked pieces for the back spinners, and a really fresh new holster bag that is bound to turn some heads. Also, we've got a couple more of the classic '84 Cazal-style shades and some last pieces of the crack rock polo shirt. And we don't stop...

84 Logo t-shirt (blue)

The spirit of 1984 is captured both graphically in the logo, and stylistically in color and placement of the print on this tee. A super soft and light custom royal blue tee with gold thread neck taping, and a fresh '84 logo bursting from the bottom and wrapping around the left side. This has such a legit old school feel to it that you've got to bust a b-boy stance as soon as you throw it on. by DoubleDown NYC Availability:Blue/S~~Blue/MBlue/L~~Blue/XL~~Blue/2XL~~ Price: $33.00
DJ OC t-shirt (yellow)

This image was from one those old break beat records (Octopus Breaks!) that pioneering DJ's used back in the days. Each sleeve print features the track listings of break beats on each side of the record, including joints from 7th Wonder, Rufus Thomas and the Monkees. All this on a buttery soft tee with gold thread neck taping and small gold label stitched around the bottom hem. by DoubleDown NYC Availability:~~Yellow/SYellow/M~~Yellow/LYellow/XLYellow/2XL Price: $33.00
Bolt t-shirt

Lightning bolts were a dominant icon of old school graffiti, as well as velvet heat transfer designs b-boys used to embellish their tees with. DDNYC tribute that force of nature and design with this fresh three color 3-D bolt printed cleanly on this custom tee featuring custom gold thread taping on the inside neck. by DoubleDown NYC Availability:~~Purple/S~~Purple/M~~Purple/L~~Purple/XL~~Purple/2XL~~ Price: $42.00
Backspin Nylon t-shirt (purple)

Nylon shirts were popular with breakdancers back in the day because the soft texture made it so much easier to rock backspins with.

Not everyone rocked these bags back in the day--- only the coolest; the drug dealer or those who couldn't be bothered with putting something in their pockets.. "Are you crazy??

But uh, yeah, watch how you approach PoPo while wearing this... by DoubleDown NYC Availability:In Stock Price: $71.00
