Karmaloop Names Winner In Cool Kids Design Contest
Karmaloop held a contest asking for designs for a new Cool Kids' tee. The winner was crowned last week, and you're looking at the winning style. Make your own decisions...and if you'd like to cop one, you can do that right here.
"Behold, the grand prize entry from the mononymous Barrios, a professional graphic designer and illustrator straight outta of Florida Atlantic University whose vision was A Little Bit Cooler than the rest, and for his efforts, Barrios will be presented with $10,000 to spend any way he chooses here at Karmaloop. The winning design features Barrios’ unique take on tee graphics, with a stenciled, steezed-out pair of kicks that Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish would proudly match with a fresh set of mag rims. You don’t necessarily need a lil’ bit of Gold and a Pager to rock this one yourself, but we definitely recommend it!"
You can also check out some video of The Cool Kids recent visit to Power 92 below.
