K1x aligned with four iconic graphic artists (and one media house) for the launch of their “4-E” Collection, a unique take on the game’s most indispensible ingredient: the pill. German designer “Marok” reinterpreted the rock to match up with water, Earth’s most ubiquitous element. A glistening powder blue surface is complimented with two multicolored panels and Kay 1’s cursive logo.
Legendary NYC graff-man “Stay High 149” and creative firm Frank 151 collaborated to create the “Air” Ball. 149’s idyllic tag embellishes the b-ball’s pebbled white exterior. His government name, Wayne Roberts, is penned in black on one of the panels.

Ayo! His graffiti is coo-coo bananas! The original tag with that loopy style yet so representative of the NYC culture from hip-hop to streetball.
I swear that I see his style everywhere..
