Estevan Oriol x Dustin Canalin T-Shirt Collection
February 23rd, 2011
Upper Playground is releasing a collection of three t-shirts collaboratively designed by Estevan Oriol and UNDRCRWN’s, Dustin Canalin.
The collection was born from the idea that Dustin’s style could bring a unique perspective to Estevan’s legendary photography – and the three tees execute this idea flawlessly. The designs takes the idea of ‘collaboration’ to a place that’s not often seen, with both artists styles and artwork pushed to the forefront of the design in equal parts. Says Dustin on the project, “The images were already iconic to him, so I didn’t want to take away from what was already there, I just wanted to enhance the images in my own way. This was special because there was an opportunity for two artists to come together and create a design that we were both proud of. ”
The Army, Throne and Camo T-Shirts all feature a printed Upper Playground x Dustin Canalin x Estevan Oriol logo on the left sleeve and are available exclusively at our online store and at all our locations.

Snoop Dogg T-Shirt Micro Collection by Dustin Canalin and VIP Trip Giveaway
September 27th, 2010
Upper Playground and Snoop Dogg are releasing a limited-edition micro collection of three t-shirts designed by Dustin Canalin (the creative director of UNDRCRWN). “This is a natural collaboration for me,” explains Snoop. “Upper Playground and Dustin understand my style, so they took a little bit of that classic Snoop Dogg and made it pop.”
Injecting a fresh take on an old-school style, Dustin Canalin uses the innovativeness that he’s brought to the table when working on logos for athletes like Chauncey Billups, Jason Richardson, Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan (to name a few) to design this new Snoop inspired collection. The result? Three brand-new t-shirts titled ‘Chronics‘, ‘Hockey Snoops‘, and ‘You Don’t Love Me‘ inspired by Snoop’s “Gin & Juice” music video which are available in very limited quantity exclusively at Snoop Dogg’s “Snoopermarket” and all of our retail locations and online store.
To celebrate the release of the tees, Snoop Dogg wants to give piece back to his Twitter followers who recently helped him break the “two million followers” mark – so Upper Playground and Snoop are holding a special giveaway where one person will receive the whole t-shirt collection and a VIP trip for them and a friend to see Snoop perform live and meet him after the show. To win, follow Snoop’s Twitter page and also be a fan of Upper Playground’s Facebook page – then post your twitter handle on our Facebook wall and make a post on Twitter that includes “#SNOOPUP” – the winner will be announced on Snoop’s Twitter page and Upper Playground’s Facebook page on October 8th, 2010.
