MAJOR x New Era Kente 59Fifty Release - Saturday, June 21st
Posted by staff under New Era , News , EventsYes, it’s definitely what you’ve been waiting for… Another installment in the Summer of MAJOR series.
Our Kente Fitted design has been covered by everyone that matters in the fitted blogsphere, including CtotheJL, New Era CapTalk & Strictly Fitteds, and you finally get a chance to own one.

Kente cloth is a type of woven fabric made and worn by Ashanti people of Ghana. According to history, it was said to be royal and sacred cloth, only to be worn at times of great importance. In the mid ’90s, Georgetown Hoyas basketball team, featuring the great Allen Iverson, introduced the world to the kente pattern, when it appeared in the Hoyas uniform. As a symbol of great importance in African culture, as well as a symbol of one of the most feared and dominating basketball traditions, Kente has a special meaning to those of us at MAJOR, and we did our own adaptation in vibrant summer colors, including Shock Orange/New Era Blue/Ebony & White.
There will be no phone orders taken on Saturday, June 21st, but there will be reserved quantities for everyone across the world to get their hands on this important fitted release.
