Yams Day 2019 will go down this Thursday at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn, where some of the biggest names in hip-hop will come together to honor the late ASAP Yams. In support of this year's event, ASAP Mob will release a batch of graphic-heavy merch designed by some of the industry's biggest names—chief among them is Virgil Abloh's Off-White.
The high-end streetwear brand delivered a Champion hoodie and sweatpant set that features an illustration of Yams flying in the clouds atop a Pegasus. There's Off-White branding on the front and back, as well as the Mob's signature dollar sign.
The merch collection will also include pieces by Cactus Plant Flea Market, Disco Inferno, and ASAP Twelvyy's LYBB brand. Hoodies and tees make up most of the range, with each design featuring a distinct nod to the Mob co-founder: There's a hooded sweatshirt that's emblazoned with a photo of a young Yams, a tee with his "Money ain't change me" quote, and a long sleeve crew neck with the Yamborghini bull caricature.
According to Highsnobiety, the proceeds from the Fredo Santana T-shirt will benefit Yams' family; proceeds from the rest of the collection will go toward the ASAP Foundation—a nonprofit started by Yams' mom, Tatiana Paulino.
You can check out the merch in the images below. The pieces will drop this Thursday at Yams Day 2019.
