London-based label UNDER R has paired with Dead Kennedys, translating the hardcore punk band’s agitprop archive into a streetwear collection that treats graphic noise as its primary material.
The crossover lands at a moment when punk’s visual language keeps resurfacing as a shortcut to rebellion, its slogans worn as style rather than conviction.
Whether the reference reads as tribute or appropriation will depend on the hand, but the garments carry the archive with enough care to seem like both.
There is a deliberate roughness to the execution, distressed prints and uneven registration that honour the source material’s DIY ethic rather than polishing it into merchandise.
The collab pulls from the band’s storied sleeve art and concert posters, relettering political slogans across heavyweight tees, hoodies, and jackets that carry the raw, photocopied grain of a venue flyer.
