The collection, which will be available for purchase from Thursday (Dec. 8), and it will include a hoodie, a sweatshirt, and t-shirt, with prices ranging from $50 to $100 USD.

Released on April 21, 1992, Check Your Head was the Beastie Boys’ third studio album and the first to be produced by the Beastie Boys, along with Mario Caldato Jr. The follow-up to what many consider to be their most critically-acclaimed 1989 effort Paul’s Boutique, Check Your Head arrived three years after its predecessor and marked a stark contrast in styles and sounds. Recorded at the Beasties’ own G-Son studios in L.A., the album produced the singles “Pass the Mic,” “So What’cha Want,” “Jimmy James,” and “Gratitude” and was certified double-platinum by the RIAA.
Ranked as one of the best albums of 1992 by numerous publications and critics, Check Your Head began the start of a new era from the Beasties, thus inspiring this new, limited edition capsule collection. A collection of pieces paying homage to the legacies of Ad-Rock, MCA, and Mike D, Champion’s collaboration with Bravado! continues the brand’s continued appreciation of Hip-Hop culture.
