Street fashion label Milkcrate Athletics under the creative direction of Aaron LaCrate, has created a collection of edgy, colourful graphic t-shirts inspired by the award-winning HBO series The Wire. The co-branded t-shirt designs will feature character images and street-styled themes from the show, available in the US exclusively online at Karma Loop and at the HBO Shop in New York. In 2010 the collection will be available internationally in specialty boutiques in USA, UK, and Canada.

Run by LaCrate, who was born and raised on the gritty streets of East Baltimore where the HBO series The Wire was filmed, Milkcrate has long been combining music with fashion, creating custom t-shirts for heavyweights such as Dizzee Rascal, Justice, Ed Banger and Young MC amongst others. Internationally recognised as a designer, producer, CEO and creator of Milkcrate clothing, LaCrate has had past collaborations with Madonna, AnOther Magazine, Nigo, Bathing Ape, Futura and Colette.
