ONLY NY, an independent brand hailing from the Upper West Side of Manhattan, has recently created a compilation of photographs depicting NYC transit and graffiti's overtaking of the subway system. The NYC Subway Archives is a perfect reflection of the brand's conceptual journey into timeless street apparel. With graffiti artists being an integral part to sneaker collaborations and more lately, packaging and product design, ONLY gives insight to what New York was like when graffiti was still far from sought as fine art, but rather criminal vandalism. The collection features some work from well known artists such as Espo and Seen.
