Amoroso’s has launched a collaboration with Philidelphia skateboarder Jimmy Sweatpants, delivering a range of streetwear designs that reference the famous Pennsylvania city. The ‘Extra Collection’ taps the Extra Market in Los Angeles for a playful Italian bread graphic. The range features shirts, hats, sweatshirts, and a skateboard design, all decorated with Amoroso’s logo, a “Philly born, Philly bread” slogan, and the ‘Roll Man.’
The “extremely limited” JSP x Amoroso’s ‘Extra Collection’ will be produced in limited quantities of up to 50 units. The collection launches on JSP’s parent company’s website on Friday, July 29.
“I’ve always felt a real obligation and responsibility to double back and work with the people and things in Philly that raised me,” Jimmy Gorecki, also known as Jimmy Sweatpants (JSP), said. “I wouldn’t be here if not for LOVE Park and the skaters that are there.”
