KINSHIP 1. A likeness in character or qualities 2. A community of interest, especially a sense of oneness:
Fear of God’s marriage of American sports - and urban wear is evident in this ensemble. A sweatshirt paired with a tailored jacket nods to Ivy-league style, while an exposed hoodie suggests street insouciance. A collegiate sports emblem is supplanted by a graphic of the Negro Leagues, a segregated American professional baseball organization that marked its centennial in 2020. Of the graphic, designer Jerry Lorenzo, whose grandfather played in the Negro League, observed, "[It] is a humble reminder of how far we’ve come and the responsibility we have to honor those before us who built the bridge we now cross."
