BLK JKS “Molalatadi” video feat. Straw vs Gold designs

by chloe on December 14, 2009

Check out this cool new video by the Jo’burg boys (expected back in NYC sometime early next year), filmed in Coney Island and South Africa. At 1:27 you can get a good look at Linda Buthelezi rockin’ an original Straw vs Gold black bleach-dyed tee under his button-down. That’s what’s up. Buy one now, they’re staples all year round.

Props to FADER for the drop.
