The Denim Goalie is a Zipél artifact built for the ones who move through the city with style, speed, and mischief. Inspired by classic hockey masks worn by fictional street legends like KC Jones from Ninja Turtles, the piece connects directly to the raw spirit of 90s New York. It nods to the era when graffiti writers, hip hop heads, skaters, and night time explorers covered their faces to protect identity and create myth.
Each mask is hand built from recycled and overdyed denim, cut and shaped into a sculptural face form. Layers of stitching, exposed texture, and reinforced seams give it an industrial feel. The Denim Goalie carries the same attitude as a midnight bomber or a masked vigilante ducking through subway tunnels, fire escapes, and empty lots.
Designed for collectors, performers, creatives, and anyone who appreciates the blend of fashion, folklore, and urban craft. Every piece comes out different due to the hand construction process, making each one a true original.
Features:
• Hand-built denim construction
• Inspired by KC Jones, 90s hip hop, and graffiti culture
• Layered panels and stitched texture work
• Sculpted face shape with ventilation cutouts
• One of one or limited run pieces
• Designed and made in Brooklyn
