Brooklyn We Go Hard: Paris vs. New York
When Humberto and the buyers came across David Obadia and Nelson Hassan's embroidered sweatshirts in Paris, they knew they needed to bring them back to New York. Stitched with the names of NYC boroughs,
Brooklyn We Go Hard's tees and sweats are a tribute to everything the duo loves about our home town.
In addition to picking up the main line, OC also teamed up with David and Nelson to produce our own
BWGH for OC exclusives! Check out the guys looking handsome in our
"Opening Ceremony Parle Francais" crewnecks around Paris, and browse the full collection below.
I also wanted to know which city the aspiring Brooklynites really prefer. I asked David to tally up his favorite things about New York and Paris. Which city wins? You decide...
