- Gloc-9 reveals collaboration with New Era® during his concert
- The collection includes caps embroidered with Gloc-9’s lyrics
- It is New Era®’s way of representing Filipino artistry
New Era®, one of the leading names in street fashion and culture, proudly unveiled their first-ever local collaboration with one of the country’s most notable music icons, Gloc-9, during the rapper and songwriter’s concert last June 12 at the TriNoma Activity Center.
According to New Era®, Gloc-9 embodies everything that is great with Filipino artistry and the brand’s fans are excited about this partnership and the collection.
In this new Filipino-themed collection, New Era® and Gloc-9 worked on the design together, taking inspiration from the artist’s simplicity and style. It also banners the highlights of the rapper’s career, and his invaluable contributions to the local music scene.
The Gloc-9 LIMITED EDITION Collectible caps reflect Gloc-9’s works as a profound lyricist as the items bear lyrics from the rapper’s masterpieces. This collection includes a snapback 9FIFTY silhouette cap that has an embroidered “Makata sa Pinas” gold text on the front of the crown. The design includes a stanza which says “Kaya sa gabi ako’y palaging nakatingala, kasi pwede palang maging sigurado ang baka” stitched on the right side of the crown.
The lyrics came from his song Alalay ng Hari (from his album, MKNM: Mga Kwento ng Makata) which cited his experience growing as an artist under his mentor, Francis M.
The collection also has a fitted 59FIFTY silhouette cap in black polyester which has Gloc-9’s colored logo on the front of the crown. The upper visor features Gloc-9’s signature, while the lower visor features a multitude of his logos. The inside of the crown has a camouflage pattern in black and grey.
Another snapback 59FIFTY silhouette cap, which is in black polyester as well, has the title of Gloc-9’s 2003 hit song which skyrocketed his career, ‘Simpleng Tao’, embroidered on the front of the crown. The under visor features the song lyrics in red, grey, and white text. All the caps in the collection has an embroidered ‘G9’ logo on the back of their crowns and comes in a New Era® x Gloc-9 special box.
In addition to the Gloc-9 collection, New Era® also has an Independence Day collection which is already available in the market. The collection, in its black and gold detailing, features unique and hip designs that represent the Philippines’ Independence Day. Patriotic words and symbols such as ‘Pilipinas’, ‘1898’, ‘Alab ng Puso’, and ‘Perlas ng Silangan’ can be found on the front and back of the crown of the black twill caps.
The New Era x Gloc 9 and Independence Day collections are exclusively available in all New Era Philippines physical and online stores.
