The Mark-4 Hoodie was created to endure and prevail against the physical element of basketball. All the while, providing a comfortable compressed feel of a short sleeved hoodie. After completing the 1st QT-RS, coming up with a complimenting top to match was the goal. Definitely wanted to go for a better fabric selection. So, the next step was research all over the internet.
Taking on this challenge felt personal and contained a lot of pressure. Thoughts in about if this could be executed. Therefore, I just tuned out the noise and focused on the task. The feel and benefits of this fabric had to come with a statement. Almost giving the feel of an AAU team heading on the road. STRAIGHT BUSINESS. UNSTOPPABLE FORCE. TAKING NO PRISONERS.
This made it easier to design and complete as everything was coming together. The choice of using Athletic Stretch Mesh as the body. Having zipper pockets vice a regular opening. As well as, coming up with a color-way, made this whole process enjoyable. However, nothing beat that feeling of having The Mark-4 Hoodie in my hands. The dream-like feel was unbelievable. Just the simple fact that once again, 4H1P was building and growing!
