Sprayground, the world’s most influential street wear brand
for his whimsical and highly coveted designs – has released “African Intelligence 6” (Ai6), an ongoing collection co-designed by Independent Artist and Sprayground’s VP & Creative Director of Content, Sandflower. The concept and name of this collection was driven by Sandflower based on her personal life experiences.
This collection of bags that defies definition is inspired by the groundbreaking innovation and vibrant glamor of the African diaspora, with an authentic New York twist in true Sprayground fashion. For this launch, alongside Sandflower as the face of the campaign, she called upon supermodels hailing from Jamaica and Ghana; Shannon Hamilton, Amanda Thomas and Gershona Annor, who embody the energy and spirit of the collection, really helping to bring it to life.
The Ai6 collection offers beautiful textiles, eclectic prints and a high dose of energy through vibrant colors and contemporary designs in the form of exquisite bags that act as a coded symbol of Afro-futuristic fashion. The concept features three designs, including a black jewel model
The capsule collection, which includes six items: a backpack, a crossbody bag, a handbag, a large sling bag, a purse and a wallet. The coveted collection also includes two one-of-a-kind designs; an eye-catching lion print that the Ai collection is known for, in vibrant purples, reds and yellows that speak to the colorful inspirations of true African culture, as well as a stylish denim design that showcases the iconic of Sprayground collectible art – shark’s mouth.
Sprayground first gained worldwide attention when the ‘Hello My Name’ backpack debuted over 10 years ago. Sprayground founder David BenDavid (DBD) had high hopes for creating a brand that he felt represented his childhood and upbringing. Exposed to streetwear, art and a variety of cultures from a young age, DBD took all of this inspiration and turned it into creativity that is now admired around the world.
Along with DBD, Sandflower has been making waves with the Ai collection since launching in 2019, now in its 6th series, this collection has proven to be one of Sprayground’s most popular capsules to date.
The Ai6 Collection will be available online at www.sprayground.com and exclusive boutiques nationwide on July 26, 2022.
