As I was walking back to the office from lunch, I spotted this next level masterpiece in the storefront window of TELCO, one of many local Broadway businesses. Is this a Baby Murko Mouse ready to chop up unsuspecting hypebeasts? I can’t wait to see what this place has in store for the future.
These are bootleg Mishka Monogram New Eras
They say its a sign of success when someone bootlegs you, I suppose. I love vintage bootleg toys, mostly because they are just so far off from the original that it’s comical and slightly amazing. This on the other hand, kind of pisses me off.
I saw someone post this on the Hypebeast Forums about this webstore called CML Sports which also sells bootlegs of Supreme, 10 Deep, and Flying Coffin New Eras to name a few.
These are actual Mishka Monogram New Eras
The funny and interesting thing about this cap, is that 1) it was the least popular hat out of the 3 New Eras we released for Spring 07 and 2) what they bootlegged were the very first prototypes we ever received and later made changes to. If you look at the photo of the final product, above you can see that hey are different from the ones on CML Sports. The pattern on the real one is larger and our logo on the front is done with flat embroidery not 3D style. Plus the “cherry” version is a very off-color of our Magenta Monogram Cap. It’s color are actually based on a proto (in burgundy with carolina print) that would eventually be the magenta cap that we only ever had one sample of and rejected. Wonder where they get the sample cap from? Hmm… interesting.
So just a heads up that none of the caps on CBL Sports are authentic
