Which should you buy?
Buy the Rhude if you want the LA streetwear look and the logo for $360, since the heavier fleece and clean branding deliver that without the extra spend. The $60 step up to Shadow Project buys experimental design and articulated detailing, not better basics. Pay it only if you specifically want the conceptual construction and collect that kind of work. For most people the Rhude covers the same brief for less.
