Benny Diar x Clout x ELM "Death Cheater" Fitted Caps

From Benny Diar himself: “My name is Benny, known in the graffiti world as Diar. I have been an artist my whole life. I started writing graffiti at the age of 11, and was an active writer until February 2008, when a bad car accident left me paralyzed from the neck down.”

Continuing the much needed support, Clout Magazine has connected with ELM Company, graphic designer Sammy Rodriguez and sign painter Sean Barton on the official "Death Cheater" fitted caps. These caps are made in wool with contrast top button, eyelets and under visor in light gray. The inside of the caps feature satin linings. Front Death Cheater graphic was designed by Sammy Rodriguez while the custom Benny Diar signature on the back by Sean Barton.
Support Diar's recovery by purchasing this collector's edition fitted cap, now through Clout.

Leaders1354 Olympic II 59Fifty Caps

It's been a minute since we last posted any LEADERS caps on UA but we had to throw some shine on their latest cap - The LDRS Olympic II 59Fifty. Regardless of the obvious connection to the Jordan Olympic 7's, this is just a great looking cap. Leaders has been releasing their jumbo style for a while now but this new combination of navy/red 2T with the white/gold embroidery just makes it too good to pass up. This style is also the original version they intended, instead of this. Anyway, head over to the LDRS store for yours before they sell out.
