Mishka Bootleg Black Bart Tee

New York based streetwear label Mishka joins the slew of other brands in releasing Obama inauguration day products.

January 20th is an important day because it marks a pretty epic change in the course of American politics. Not to get all politically-heavy with you guys, but “change” is a comin’. This very change - which is rolling in waves - has affected us here at Mishka too. To the point where we’ve succumbed to peer pressure and finally caved into the Obama train. But being the jaded, peanut gallery we are, regardless of change, politics is politics. A famous presidential candidate once said “You can put lipstick on a pig, but its still a pig.”
So to celebrate this monumental/business-as-usual day, Mishka has decided to release an Obama tee in the only way it makes sense to us – Bootleg Black Bart style. Influenced by Young Jeezy’s “Black President” and fueled by our resentment for the run-of-the-mill Obama shirts sold everywhere, Mishka’s Bootleg Black Bart tee embodies exactly what Mishka fans expect of the brand and expect of a Mishka/Obama shirt.

Obama x The Amazing Spider-Man

As excitement builds over the upcoming inauguration of Barack Obama, the 44th President of United States, comic book giant Marvel Entertainment announced the launch of a very special edition to commemorate the occasion. Featuring one of Marvel’s most famous character, Spider-man (aka Peter Parker), the upcoming issue #583 of The Amazing Spider-Man will have the superhero thwarting the plans of his long-time nemesis, Chameleon, during a factious January 20th. Thus, saving Obama’s inauguration. The issue will also include a special cover with both men. According to Joe Quesada, the Editor-in-Chief at Marvel, the idea for the mash-up issue came about when they found out Obama was a fan of the title during his childhood. The Amazing Spider-Man Issue #583 goes on sale across the U.S. this coming Wednesday, January 14th.

One word. History.
