Akomplice is at it again with a new line of fresh tees for the summer. Their new line features some interesting collaborative efforts, not to mention a number of other clever graphics. For the preview of these new tees, the brand is taking usfrom their Colorado headquarters all Around The World In 8 Days. Get your fanny pack ready, and we’re off!

Here is the Keys tee in white. I’d say that I’d like to see a more up close image to check out the text and other details in full, but really, Eva Mendes is on the rest of the shirt.

Pictured above is the first in a pair of collaborations for Akomplice this season. This Doin’ It crewneck was put together with the help of Stabs based out of Singapore. There’s a lot going on here, but the coloring looks pretty dope from where I’m sitting.

And here we have the nigh-obligatory MJ tee. I’m honestly struggling to think of a brand that hasn’t at some point made reference to Jordan (be it the shoes, the Bulls, or some other aspect) at some point. For as much heat as brands catch for a Wu Tang send up, maybe it’s time to put a moratorium on His Airness for a minute? Wait, dude dunked it from the free throw line, and hit one with his eyes closed. Scratch that.

Now Scottie Pippen? That’s the jump off. Dude always played the second fiddle, but moments like the one captured here between him Doing The Right Thing with Spike Lee show that he deserves some shine all his own. Too bad this didn’t capture that sick fade he had going any better. And I might also have to call bullshit because dude’s nose is definitely a solid 6-8 inches longer than what’s pictured here. What a beast!

Ah yes, I think this one pretty much speaks for itself. That ain’t ketchup kids. This is the second collaboration for Akomplice this season, this time with Kenyon Bajus.

Alright so check it out. This tee is dope and all, but I have to paint a little picture about my man Billy C here that’s gonna make this thing even better. First off, yes that is Monica gettin’ down to business if you couldn’t quite tell. But anyway, so my buddy actually got to meet Clinton while he was in office. It was for some pretty formal event, and like anyone else would be around that much security, my friend, we’ll call him Not Mike, was understandably a little nervous. But that trademark grin can put anyone at ease and as the introductions are made, Clinton asks Not Mike how old he is, to which he quietly replies “16″. And what sage advice did the leader of our country at the time have for our hero Not Mike? “16 huh? Better be havin’ fun at that age. I know I did!” Wink. Snap. End scene.
