It looks like Brooklyn graffiti artist Josh “Stash” Franklin is back at the footwear game, as part of a new collaboration with some interesting characters. Ready? Philadelphia urban retailer VILLA turns 20 this year. OK, sounds good. So to commemorate this, Rocawear is making a boot for the shop. OK. Cool.
