THE HAND STYLE

The WILL LANE "HAND STYLE" was designed by illustrator and artist, Chris Arundel. Having strong knowledge and exposure to the street culture of NYC, he was able to create a style that not only symbolizes but embodies what it is to be a part of that culture, The Struggle, The Hustle, and The Drive it takes to make it in this city.

The creative behind the NYC patches is Hance Taplin from "By Way Of" who was inspired by the Eddie Murphy 90s classic "Coming to America"
