INFO
jesus christ.
words can’t describe the beauty of this hoodie. without a doubt, this is among the top 3 best hoodies the brand has ever produced, and it sure ain’t #3.
the ultimate grail of ultimate grails:
1 of 1 Production Sample "FRENCH NA" Hoodie
the general release version of this hoodie stands as one of the most expensive & sought after pieces from ERD, with two having been sold by LOW PLACE LIKE HOME at around $13,000 each in the less developed market surrounding the brand during 2024.
the only General Release "French NA" still available online is currently listed at $31,000.
this is infinitely rarer than those, however.
this is not just one of the rarest ERD hoodies of all time; this piece is a 1 of 1 production sample and was a personal gift to a pivotal member of ERD's team in 2020.
originally slotted to be used in one of the fashion films the brand put out in 2020, the piece was gifted to one of the creative leads of the brand during this era, whom we then acquired it from.
the provenance of this piece has been confirmed with the involved parties, and beyond that, the individual differences between this hoodie and the General Release are apparent.
this hoodie is NOT from the general release holiday drop of 2020, and true collectors will be able to identify the small details which differentiate it, such as the backing of the sewn neck tag which is apparent at the piece's backside.
BACKSTORY
Narcotics Anonymous has always been a lifeline for addicts who are in their most vulnerable positions. flipping through their literature pamphlets, you can see the glimmer of hope one might find through the advice relayed that keeps them on earth. although the program has faced its fair shares of controversy of the course of their existence, it would be a lie to say that it hasn’t saved countless lives.
since he was a young teen, ERD founder Henri Levy struggled with severe bouts of substance abuse, ranging from the use of cocaine to heroin and anything else you can think of. time and time again, he would return to Narcotics Anonymous meetings around the globe to hear the stories of people in similar positions and work on bettering himself.
after achieving sobriety in 2019, Levy decided to honor the program in a limited series of jackets and hoodies, with the latter quickly becoming the most controversial and beloved of the capsule. within minutes of its drop, the hoodie sold out and was never seen again. that is until now.
