Anyone who’s invested in contemporary Polo collecting culture today certainly knows who Starker is. While the Brooklyn-born artist is best known for making waves within New York City’s underground rap scene as a member of the RRR collective (shouts out to YL and Zoomo), keen observers of New York City fashion have likely stumbled on Starker before. He’s appeared in New Balance x Aimé Leon Dore ad campaigns and his artwork even graced the cover of Westside Gunn’s Peace "Fly" God album last year. So, it’s no surprise that the man behind standout releases like The Bootleg Collection  has also released some excellent bootleg merch. A long sleeve inspired by the New York City-based clothing retailer Sportslane pays tribute to Starker’s go-to sneaker store, which helped build the foundation for the style he’s known for today.
