After previously giving you a look at the upcoming K1X x Frank 151 x Stay High 149 Basketball, we can also show you an interview with the artist today. The graffiti legend explains the project and also his background. Make sure to check it out!

After recently presenting to you the Marok Basketball from the K1X “4 Elements 4 Basketballs” series, we can give you an exclusive first look at the second part of the project. For K1X’s limited artist series Frank 151 let Stay High 149 do his interpretation of the element AIR. In order to reflect the lightness of this element the ball was kept very basic and simple. An all white ball made out of high-end pu leather with grey channels and the logos of Frank 151 and Wayne Roberts with silver outline stamped on one side and his legendary “smoker tag” in silver on the other give this unique basketball its light look and make it one of a kind.

Next ones up are Bill Mc Mullen (Fire) and Mode2 (Earth). All four balls are strictly limited to 444 units and available at selected retail locations only.

More detailed views of the K1X “4 Elements 4 Basketballs” Frank 151 featuring Staz High 149 Ball follow after the jump.

This month’s Frank “F” cap release is inspired by Frank Book Chapter 32: Jet Set. The hat is constructed with a creamy leather, and prominently displays a white “F” with a silver lining. The undervisor is made of navy-blue suede and carries a Benjamin Franklin quote: “If you would not be forgotten, As soon as you are dead and rotten, Either write things worth reading, Or do things worth the writing.” The real surprise to this cap is the inside lining: a vintage Jet Set airplane pattern printed on airy satin.

The cap is now available online and at Frank’s Chop Shop in NYC.

Japanese brand/retailer Lafayette is celebrating its 5th anniversary with a strong series of collaborations. They partnered up with J.Money, Sneaktip, Teamworks, DJ Clark Kent, Acapulco Gold, Deadline, Frank 151, Craft, La Carrera, Ally & Dia and Chatty Chatty. With each one of the brands they made t-shirts and in some cases also New Era caps and skate decks. 
We already presented you the La Carrera collaboration yesterday, all the rest today, after the jump.

This Frank151 cap was developed in collaboration with Chapter 29, curated by S.A. Studios. The cap features a black wool body, white 3D embroidered F with a silver outline, and of course the quote and signature from Ben Franklin which reads: “If you would not be forgotten, As soon as you are dead and rotten, Either write things worthy reading, Or do things worth the writing”. Purchase this exclusive fitted for $50 and you get a copy of Frank Book, Chapter 29, while supplies last!

The Major Threat “What What!” New Era caps dropped last season for the first time and were an instant hit. This season they bring them back in four fresh new colorways. Just like before the “What What!” is a nice 3D embroidery on the front of the caps. They are now available at the Frank 151 online store.
