Frank The Butcher x Nike Sportswear Destroyer

Frank The Butcher — Thu, 03 May 2012 01:48:56 +0000

I am proud to present my Nike Destroyer jacket built at the Nike Sportswear Stadium MFG shop in NYC. All patches and embroidery tie back to something personal. Homages include my wife, children and my brother who passed away in 2005. The chest features a “BAU” embroidery hit which stands for “Business as Usual”, while the back features the ‘Love Wolf’ graphic that is also a tattoo on my forearm.

A big thanks to Nike / Stadium MTG for the opportunity and a SPECIAL nod to Mike Cherman who helped me put this amazing varsity together.

Business As Usual is the crew and mantra. The Love Wolf is the mascot.

“IX” heart represents my wife. The stars are my children.

#BAU

Memorial for my little brother who left us in 2005. Love you Franco.

Stay warm.

Frankmatic™ everything!

Burn Rubber x New Balance 580 “Workforce”

Frank The Butcher — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 03:20:53 +0000

I had the pleasure of watching this project develop from a conversation with my brother Rick Williams of Burn Rubber, to a sample, and now a release. Rick did it again — he took the 580 and made magic happen. Lighting does strike twice. The ‘Workforce’ pack will drop in 2 releases – The ‘Blue Collar’ will release Feb 1st with the ‘White Collar’ dropping a month later. Both available on Burn Rubber site.

Congrats Rick & Ro!
