It’s March, and because you may be either surrounded rainfall, snowfall, or sunlight, Upper Playground has three solutions for all conditions: New Eras from Sam Flores, Greg “Craola” Simkins, and Alex Pardee. The newest New Era release sees Upper Playground and their collaborators continuing an ambitious approach to the classic 59Fifty model; Sam Flores providing his signature characters in an all-over design, Craola celebrating Halloween in March with a UP bat, and Alex Pardee creating an all-over, multi-colored skull graphic to cover your dome. Each New Era retails at $45 and are now available at Upper Playground stores worldwide and at Upperplayground.com.
Check out the other two caps after the jump.
