Kicks & Tees. Arife and Supleme
Kicks & Tees. Arife & Supleme: To pull off a race joke nowadays is tough. Even if you make the joke about your own peoples, it's still questionable. One guy thinks there’s still a possibility and has done so in two shirts. The brand is called AAH which stands for Asians Always Hunt, run by a guy simply known as Arnold, who is described on digitalgravel.com as a “streetwear aficionado from New Jersey." What's the meaning behind the name? One can only guess, but the first shirt designs are hilarious.
The shirt gives nod to premier streetwear brands Supreme and Alife, and is a play on the Asian to English mispronunciation in flipping the l’s and r’s. Perhaps Arnold, who is also Asian American, is poking fun at himself. Or perhaps he is noting the ironic observation of how many American streetwear brands are influenced by Japanese culture, and yet how the Japanese are still fascinated with us. Either way this shirt would be interesting to see on certain bodies.
