Roos Mobb Collection
Things are getting fresh as ROOS MOBB returns with a throwback look inspired by classic ’90s streetwear. We know that our Kansas City community is all that, and we’re proud to partner for a third year running with MADE MOBB to show it with a collection that says we only look back to move forward.
This year's collection is repping our K.C. community with two hats, two t-shirts, a crewneck sweatshirt, a crossbody bag and socks. Pulling the collection together is a fly windbreaker-inspired jacket.
