NOISSEY "Roots Deep" Retro Cyanotype Braids Culture Graphic Boxy Sweatshirt

“Etching the sacred geometry of street braids into the cold, timeless blues of history. With a halo of metal hair clips and fierce cornrows, this is more than an aesthetic—it is an untouchable monument to our roots.”

NOISSEY introduces the “ROOTS DEEP” Braids Long Sleeve—an cultural homage that proudly celebrates the spirit of black hair artistry, cornrows, and dreadlock culture. The design is beautifully rendered in a striking, deep Retro Cyanotype (monochromatic blueprint) artistic colorway, blending classic street culture with photographic chemistry. The front of the sweatshirt features a multi-angle close-up portrait layout: the centerpiece showcases a highly-detailed back view of tight, geometric braids lined with a striking sequence of retro wavy white hair clips. Flanked by secondary micro-angle braided portraits, this visual is crowned by a fluid, handwritten "Roots" script. Symmetry is established with massive, distressed "NOISSEY" gothic block letterings crawling down both long sleeves, offering an industrial, raw-edge design for the avant-garde wardrobe.

Physical Specs

• Fit: Signature Boxy Stance Drop-Shoulder Fit Engineered with our signature wide-cut boxy template, featuring heavily dropped shoulders and extra-roomy armholes. The wide, straight sleeves gather naturally around the cuffs, creating a high-end, low-center-of-gravity architectural silhouette that keeps the expansive chest and sleeve prints perfectly flat.

• Fabric: Premium Ultra-Dense Heavyweight Combed Cotton Knitted from premium double-yarn combed pure cotton to deliver an incredibly dense, substantial weight and an ultra-soft touch. The fabric undergoes specialized pre-shrunk stabilization treatments, yielding a premium matte surface that flawlessly anchors the extensive ink layers without any fabric sagging or warping over time.

Tech Features

• Retro Cyanotype HD Graphic Screen Print The central artwork and sleeve graphics are executed using high-definition micro-ink digital screen-printing technology. This process flawlessly captures the iconic Prussian blue gradient, the textured, raw chemical borders of cyanotype art, the intricate hair braiding patterns, and the crisp reflections of the metal clips.

• Double-Knit Warp-Proof Trim & Shoulder Taping The crewneck collar, cuffs, and bottom hem are bound with dense, double-layer knit ribbing and tightly reinforced with shoulder-to-shoulder internal fabric binding tape. This locks the sweatshirt’s structure securely in place, keeping it flat and warp-immune through rigorous machine wash cycles.
