Efra’s Base Stealers coming at you with spikes up! Lets kick-off our next drop as we always do with our favorite, a behind-the-scenes look at Efra’s process. The cap will be sneak-peaked Friday and of course, available Sunday!
When Efra sent over his inspiration and sketches he had this to say…
“I spent a lot time thinking about the concept then when I had a good idea it went pretty fast so these sketches aren’t as polished as others you’ve featured on the site. Looking back I really like the 4th sketch, way more simple, but I was dead set on a Mr. Red inspired logo, haha!”
I love that, a man who has a vision. If I remember correctly, I think Efra’s Base Stealers was a one-n-done. Which is always a coup. Check out all these great influences.
Tomorrow, Efra hits the sketchbook.
Congrats, Efra! I have always been a fan of the neighborhood watch “shadowy figure” as well – I think its his hat….And Ricky Henderson is pretty friggin awesome.
This is a landmark for the Clink I think, three collabo releases in the span of one month! The process is really streamlining apparently!

Thanks T.J.! I can’t wait for the drop! I hope the Base Stealers continues the winning streak your Shams and Chris’ Sea Devils have started.

Efra, I saw a sneak at the finished hat. I’m assuming there was a slip up earlier today and the article was posted early and then taken down. Looks incredible.

Christian & Aussie Ry Thanks guys! I’m super stoked on this hat, I think the colorway is perfect and the tweaks that were made from the original only made it better. I get my hats this weekend, cant wait!
