I was thinking ‘how are they going to tie this checkerboard design back to the theme of the release? WTF does “strive for greatness” have to do with this design?’ Thankfully I wasn’t the only person

Second 👀 👀 👀 of the Bored-N-Ciaga sock runner. We didn’t want to be too overt with the ape image so we ran it through a mosaic filter…it gives the overall ‘feel’ of the ape and adds a bit of mystery
