LUDWIG x INSPIRIT - ENJOY CHOKE (COLLABO TEE)

I thought this was an interesting graphic in itself when they sent this over to me. But after reading more about the collab with LUDWIG & Inspirit it was even cooler to me. Check out their breakdown so you get the full story:

This project is the culmination of many long talks with Shooto and MMA fighter Rumina Sato, sponsored by Inspirit, about a collaboration between the two brands.

The graphic is actually a reprint of the first very first T-shirt produced by LUDWIG in October, 2007, for Creative Director Mike Dytri’s circle of friends, training partners, and fighters that he trained with at the rAw gym, and the concept for this t-shirt was born out of getting choked out by the great Gene Lebell. http://www.genelebell.com/ According to Mike, “Gene was a guest at the first PSL event and was taking photos with fans. He gives you a patch which says, "When in doubt, choke'em out," if you let him choke you out...so of course I wanted one...much to the horror of my fiancé, mind you, but in the end I came away with a nice patch, a cool photo of Gene and I, and a great idea for a t-shirt!”

LUDWIG will be printing a limited number of these tees and they will be available thru the LUDWIG online shop and some select shops in Japan. The graphic features Beethoven doing a rear naked choke (or a figure four) as well as the LUDWIG and Inspirit logos. Also features Inspirit Neck label and LUDWIG woven label sewn into the front. It is available only in Black.
