New Era Presents: Heritage Series - The 1996 Collection

Available now is the latest in the New Era Heritage Series; the Spike Lee collection. In 1996 the director made a phone call to New Era's CEO Chris Koch to make a request that would change the headwear game. Spike's request for a red colourway to be made of his beloved New York Yankees baseball cap was granted thus starting the trend of the popular colourways we see today.

In honour of this New Era and Spike Lee have team up for a collection of four 59FIFTY caps starting off with two wool based caps including the original navy Yankees fitted and the Spike's red colourway, both featuring grey undervisors.
The next two caps in the collection use the same colours but are made using leather, like the previous caps these include; a grey undervisor, the 1996 world series patch and "A Spike Lee Joint" on the cap's headband. Each cap comes in its own special case, retelling the infamous story on the inside. All four caps can be found via New Era's retail and online storehttp://www.neweracap.eu/.
