Following the vibrant energy of our Manhattan Graffiti collaboration, the After Dark edition explores the city's nocturnal transformation. Where daylight reveals colorful borough names and vibrant street art, darkness brings forth a different Manhattan—one that pulses with shadows, neon reflections, and the vigilante spirit that watches over the sleeping city.
The nickname "Gotham," first applied to New York by Washington Irving in 1807, has evolved through centuries of cultural interpretation to represent the city's darker, more elusive persona. This After Dark edition evokes that noir essence—the Manhattan that emerges when streetlights cast long shadows and the urban landscape reads in silhouettes and glare, with light tracing the margins.
