HOMEBOY - HANS DEN SKATER TEE - ICE BLUE
HOMEBOY Loud Couture
30 YEARS OF HOMEBOY - STORY OF A LEGEND
We are Streetwear
Homeboy was founded in 1988 as the world's third streetwear brand. 30 years ago streetwear was still original and stood for skatewear. The origin of Homeboy lay in skating, but already with the foundation the hand was reached out towards music.
The year 1988 is considered the break-out year of hip-hop. Cult bands like Public Enemy, Run-DMC, N.W.A. or Ice-T swirled up the scene not only musically but also fashionably. Homeboy sensitively picked up the vibes of rap culture and the mentality of the artists and formed them into fashionable originals. Already in 1989 the label equipped the German hip-hop legend Moses Pelham. In 1991 Die Fantastischen Vier were joined.
In the 80s, the first action sports took off into a future that forever shaped an entire generation of athletes. Skating was the origin of a "coolness" that had a lasting impact on fashion over the years and decades. The Skinny Jeans is the last achievement of the fashion, which it owes to the skaters.
In 1993, the Warped Tour combined skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing and music, sending a lifestyle into the world that has changed an entire generation. In the TEAM Homeboy were skateboarders, snowboarders, BMXers, Moto-Xers, surfers, wakeboarders and freeskiers. All this has a firm place in our soul until today.

With the Hans den Skater Tee we have brought a design from the late 80s back into the collection. Hans was drawn by the then skate team boss and creative head Claus Grabke. The name with the incorrectly used article "DEM" is satire, as the misconception that Homeboy came from the USA had taken hold throughout Germany. Over 30 years later, the design proves that it is timeless. With a slight oversize fit, it's the perfect complement to your x-tra BAGGY or MONSTER CORD in Ice Blue.
