Thankf for being so patient, while we worked on official launch date, which is today, and simultaneous cap releases for MAJOR EQT Pack.
As many of you know (click here for the link), the first 30 pairs sold out in a matter of hours, and we have been slowly bringing in pairs to make sure that we have enough pairs to go around for those that are coming to the store to buy, and also those around the US that are waiting by the phone to order it from us.
A few teaser pictures for the caps have been released on the internet, but until now, you have never seen the final product, and THEY are instant classics.
That’s right! MAJOR x New Era EQT Pack consists of 2 different caps. While we are known for our 59Fifty fitted designs with New Era, we also wanted that unique throwback look from the 70’s and 80’s, and we decided to create a Pillbox Fitted with New Era.
The pillbox features speckle printed body, with metallic gold MAJOR logo and flag, along with a set of three white piping to give it that sharp look. The undervisor features the carbon fiber pattern, and the whole cap is lined in satin with the DC metro map printed on it. The pillbox is available in sizes XS (7 1/8), S (7 1/4), M (7 1/2), L (7 5/8), and XL (8). This design is made with a little bit of elasticity on the cap band, so if you are 7 3/8, you can comfortably go with S (7 1/4) and it will still fit you great!
Always 2 steps ahead of everyone else, our newest New Era 59Fifty fitted features the same speckled print from the shoe on the body, with metallic gold MAJOR logo and New Era flag embroidery. The undervisor features carbon fiber in a sandwich style, double thick brim, while the interior lining is made of satin with DC metro map printed on it. The caps are available in sizes 7 through 7 7/8 for this release.
Rear of each fitted cap features stars that everyone loves!
For those who are ordering both the shoes and caps on the phone, please be advised that adidas EQTs run a bit small due to the inner sock system, and you should go up 1/2 from your normal shoe size, when ordering.
Please believe that this is just the beginning, as we are coming with some of the most innovative and unique cap designs, and other product designs for 2008!!!
Thanks for being MAJOR… We are worldwide, but we rep DC to the fullest!!!

Can you trust the government?
Rogue Status & MAJOR brings you our first collaboration, Capitol Tru$t, in 2 different colorways!
Designed by Rogue Status’s own Jason Calabretta, he explains the concept behind the shirt:
The Capitol building has always been one of my favorite structures. The architecture, it’s dome and rotunda, even it’s confusing placement (The West Face is usually taken to be the front is actually the back, The East face being the front of the building) and it’s ‘Focus’ by which the quadrants of the district are divided.
The Capitol represents a center or focus. The concept is the opposite. A reversed state of maximum distinctness or clarity.
I added the Masonic handshake graphic on the back to fit this idea as well. The motto ‘In Us We Trust’ represents the cryptic behavior, or mistrust all government have in relation to their citizenry.
The entire concept, being loosely based on ‘Masonic’ myths is simply what the title of the shirt implies: Capitol Tru$t, or how much can we really trust a government shrouded in such a deep vail of secrecy?
On the phonto, which is the front image, the shutter speed was intentionally altered to give a ’shaded’ or subtle ghost like quality to one of the most iconic images in America’s history, the Capitol Building.

When the folks at adidas Remix Underground group approached us about doing our version of the EQT B-Ball, we were super excited about the opportunity to create something extra-ordinary, with the silhouette that we really like in EQT line.
For inspiration, we looked no further than one of Duk-ki’s favorite shoes of all time, Jordan XI Space Jams. If you love that shoe, as many of us do, you don’t need an explanation of where carbon fiber, clear ice sole, and patent leather toe vamp came from.
We didn’t forget to add MAJOR touch to the shoe! We have a metallic gold MAJOR embroidery, as well as speckled midsole, and speckled sock (another Jordan design cue). But before finishing the shoe, we had to pay homage to our home city, the place where we come from - Washington DC. For those of you familiar with the Capitol of the Free World, you will recognize the Metro Map, considered by many as one of the cleanest and most efficient mass transportation systems in the world.
The shoe comes with 3 sets of laces (black, gold, and black w/ carbon fiber print tips), and additional gold sock. The first release is for our DC family only, limited to 30 pairs, no phone orders, and no holds. The doors will open at 10 a.m. on Saturday, February 23rd, and it’s first-come, first-served. Don’t believe the hype about the price either, it’s set at $150!
Look for the announcement about an additional release in late March/early April to coincide with matching New Era 59Fifty & Pillbox fitted release, along with what other stores in the US will be carrying these exclusive MAJOR collab kicks.
Steve Francis stopped by to buy the shoe and get a glimpse of the pillbox fitted.

Here is our secret 1 Year Anniversary special project, brought together by the minds at MAJOR, Orisue, and New Era, is now available at MAJOR!
MAJOR x Orisue NightOwl T-Shirt features a quote from our Mayor 4 Life, The Honorable Marion Barry, explaining why he’ a Night Owl. It’s only fitting that the originators of the Midnight Madness Boutique Events would put out a Night Owl project, representing the most famous Night Owl of all time.
MAJOR x Orisue x New Era 59Fifty Fitted Cap is made to match the t-shirt, and features a full front raised Night Owl embroidery. The cap features bright yellow undervisor, and is made of Major League Baseball’s official on-field performance tech fabric, previously not available outside of official MLB use.
As you can see, we don’t sleep and we don’t stop… Sleep is for old people, and Stop is for quitters… All of you plus us, We MAJOR… All the others continue sleeping… Good Night!

For the 2nd Day of our Countdown toward 1st Anniversary, we introduce the MAJOR Gift Card, the only gift card that matters!
The MAJOR Gift card is a prepaid card that can be used at MAJOR, and for phone orders. Because it’s a prepaid card, spending is limited to the initial amount of money placed on the card by the purchaser. You can put a minimum of $20 to a maximum of whatever your cash flow or credit card allows you to.
Already have a MAJOR Gift Card?
It’s important to know your balance to help ensure that your next purchase transaction is approved. You may also determine your balance when making a purchase at MAJOR.
The staff at MAJOR still welcome the use of Visa and American Express Pre-paid Gift Cards at MAJOR. We also love receiving and using gift cards from Neiman Marcus, Saks, Apple or Whole Foods. But other than that, MAJOR Gift Card is only Gift Card That Matters! What can you do with a gift card from one of these mall guys? Buy socks and underwear? You are too MAJOR for that…
