嘿,你們有看到最近全新的 **尼克隊靈感「New York 系列包款」**嗎?現在真的超火、話題爆棚!🔥🏀

看到這系列包款出現在奧斯卡與艾美獎得獎導演 Spike Lee 的背上,以及紐約尼克球員 Josh Hart 身上,真的讓人有種難以置信的感覺。

經歷了數十年的期待、挫折與始終如一的支持,紐約終於迎來了他們的第三座 NBA 總冠軍。當然,我們一定要用這款全新的包包向紐約致敬!

很幸運的是,我也有機會坐下來和這款包包背後的設計師 ThatGuyMarz 好好聊聊,一起聽他分享這個系列背後的設計故事與靈感。

 

Yo, have you seen the new Knicks inspired New York bags...they’re going crazy right now! Seeing them on the backs of Academy and Emmy winning director Spike Lee https://www.instagram.com/officialspikelee and Knicks player, Josh Hart  https://www.instagram.com/hart  feels unreal. Listen, after decades of hope, frustration, and loyalty, New York has finally been rewarded with their third NBA Championship. Of course we had to show love with this new bag and thankfully I got the pleasure to sit and chat with the designer behind it, Thatguymarz

 

 

ThatGuyMarz(Marz)在紐約皇后區(Queens)土生土長,從高中時期就開始將自己的設計創意化為現實。

他最初以**鉚釘帽(studded hats)**展開創作,之後逐漸發展出極具辨識度的個人設計風格,也因此吸引許多知名藝人的目光。像是 **Chris Brown(克里斯小子)**的舞者,就曾在巡迴演出中戴著 Marz 設計、鑲滿閃亮裝飾的滑雪面罩。

此外,YE(Kanye West/肯伊・威斯特)也曾以極具個人風格的造型,戴上 Marz 設計的珠寶鑲飾滑雪面罩,讓他的作品受到更多時尚圈與潮流文化的關注。

 

Born and raised in Queens, New York, Thatguymarz (Marz) has brought his designs to life since high school. His studded-hats evolved to his signature style which has attracted artists like Chris Brown whose dancers were spotted wearing his bedazzled ski masks on tour. Along with YE (Kanye West) who fashionably wore a Marz’s jeweled ski mask.  

 

 

 

或許一路走來的這些經歷,都是為了成就後來與 Spike Lee、Josh Hart 等具文化影響力人物相遇的精彩時刻。

Marz 在瀏覽各式各樣的紐約主題服飾時,發現了一件事——到處都看得到 New York 外套,卻幾乎看不到真正代表 New York 的包款。 他意識到,這正是市場上缺少的東西。

於是,他拿起鉛筆開始在紙上勾勒想法、畫出設計草圖,並與我們 Tote&Carry 的設計師 Carnita Whimper 見面,一起將這個概念進一步完善。

在為包款加入最後的設計細節後,Marz 將自己與這款包的影片分享到社群平台。接下來只能說——影片直接爆紅了!🔥

 

I guess all that happened to lead to moments with cultural figures such as Spike Lee and Josh Hart.

Marz knew something was missing after scrolling past numerous New York jackets with no sign of any New York bags. He connected his pencil with paper, made some sketches and met up with our Totencarry designer Carnita Whimper. After adding final touches to the bag, Marz posted a video with it and let’s just say it went VIRAL.

 

 

 

 

Spike Lee 私訊詢問包款價格時,Marz 並沒有直接和他談價格,而是看見了一個更難得的機會——邀請 Spike Lee 與自己一起拍攝形象照,並讓這款包成為畫面中的主角。如今,Spike Lee 也已經擁有了屬於自己的 New York 系列包款。

沒過多久,Marz 又在 Fanatics Fest 後台找到了 Josh Hart,原本只是想親自送他一款包。起初 Hart 還有些疑慮,但當 Marz 表明自己就是這款包的設計師後,現場的氣氛立刻轉變。Hart 隨即展現出對設計師的尊重,並欣然收下這款包。

這次互動更促成了意想不到的合作機會——Marz 與 Josh Hart 後來還一起拍攝了一支廣告,為 Hart 即將推出的能量飲料進行宣傳。

 

Spike Lee sent a DM regarding pricing, and instead of talking numbers, Marz saw an opportunity for a photoshoot featuring himself, Spike Lee, and the bags he now calls his. Not long after, he tracked down Josh Hart backstage at Fanatics Fest with the intention to gift him. Hart was skeptical at first, but once Marz introduced himself as the designer, the energy shifted. The respect was immediate as Hart accepted the bag and the interaction even led to them doing a commercial together for Hart’s upcoming energy drink.

 

 

 

這些時刻的意義,並不只是讓包款出現在那些知名人物的手中。

ThatGuyMarz 的創作旅程證明了,一切都始於內心的一個想法。 從投入無數時間反覆琢磨、精進自己的創作,到鼓起勇氣將作品分享給全世界,並相信自己的創意終有一天會被看見,甚至成為另一個人故事中的一部分。

這不只是一款包的故事,更是一段關於創意、堅持與勇敢讓世界看見自己的旅程。

 

These moments don’t just pertain to getting bags into the hands of recognizable names. Thatguymarz’s journey is a testimony that it’s about having an idea that begins within, spending hours refining your craft, and having the courage to share it with the world, trusting it finds a place in someone else’s story.
