Dark Polo Gang - Creative Director's Cut
Artworks by nss factory

The 777 gang is back to shake nss magazine's virtual pages.
Sick Luke, Pyrex, DarkSide, Tony and Wayne are the prophets of the new trap generation made in Rome. Extreme ostentation, golden teeth, bling-blings and all logo-branded everything, the 'Piskelli' ("kiddos", the way they call themselves), sure know how to make a name for themselves, and what comes out is a product that nonetheless stands out as irreverent and revolutionary – too 'sugo' ("swag" in Dark Polo Gang's words).
nss factory captured the 'cavallini' ("little horses', from a song by the collective which references Ralph Laurent's logo) from Roman district Monti on a coatto-flavored day (where "coatto" means basically "yob"), while they were wearing Nike Tech Pack and archive Nike Air Max 97. Today we bring you an exclusive behind the scenes of the shoot, in total Dark Polo Gang style.
