The 59FIFTY® design evolved from that first pro model, but today, it’s worn far beyond the ballpark.
Built through 22 meticulous stages, from stitching to embroidery, each cap is crafted for lasting comfort and consistent style.
The fitted, closed-back design—without any size adjusters—comes in multiple sizes for a custom feel.
Thanks to its flat Brooklyn-style visor and signature brand sticker, the 59FIFTY® became an unmistakable emblem of the 1990s hip-hop era, and today, it still dominates the streetwear scene.
