Harlem rapper ASAP Rocky’s affinity for Black Scale garms has been well-documented across various videos and photoshoots, so it comes as no surprise that the San Francisco-based label has gifted the 23-year-old star with his own signature collection. Complex caught up with Black Scale’s MEGA and Alfred to learn more.

So the capsule collection was inspired by A$AP Rocky. Tell us more how he influenced the aesthetic of the collection.

Alfred: Rocky has been a fan of Black Scale since before we actually met. It just so happened that I was working the sales floor the day he decided to come in and purchase items for his video shoot for “Purple Swag.” He had a great energy and was a genuinely nice guy. The video dropped and the relationship continued to grow organically. The response was so overwhelming that it made sense to do a collabo. The design influences were taken from what the A$AP crew liked about Black Scale. I tried to integrate all the aesthetics that drew the crew to the brand, always keeping in mind that they should look good in it when they wear it.

The collection of sweats, tees and caps with be available through BLVCK SCVLE in March.

Check Complex for the full interview and continuing reading for more looks.

One of the highlights from Black Scale’s recent showing at the Agenda Trade Show are these boots done in collaboration with Amongst Friends for Fall 2012. These are probably one of the more handsome duck boots we’ve seen. Two will be available with each having a different finish: 1 being more polished making for a more striking boot, with the other having a duller finish, but its still a sharp pair of boots despite that.

Take a closer look after the jump.
