First, Metro dropped prices, and now, to celebrate, we’re dropping our first collab with Chicago artist Mía Lee. Inspired by the block for the block, this collection is an ode to those who keep the community moving and make it feel like home.
From the bodega clerks and street vendors to muralists and buskers, Mía Lee’s artwork invites you to wear your block proudly.
Rep your block and shop The Price Drop Drop.
$30.00
Designed by Mía Lee and inspired by the block, this oversized drop-shoulder tee features bold characters that reflect the everyday hustle of the neighborhood. Boxy look. Heavyweight feel. And a pocket that carries something extra. Rep the block with Metro all in one fit.
$20.00
Top off your fit with a sturdy, structured piece that does the block proud. Detailed embroidery puts iconic community characters front and center, while a street-forward distressed finish gives it that worn-in, lived-in feel. It’s a tribute you’ll wear on repeat.
$12.00
Pull up and stand out. These cushioned socks are woven and crafted for all-day comfort, each with their own bold character embroideries. Available in crew or mid-crew length.
Mía Lee is a multidisciplinary artist from Chicago’s South Side, whose bold, character-driven paintings explore themes of Black identity, cultural legacy, and personal storytelling. She’s cultivated a vibrant visual style that blends expressive forms and rich color with deeply personal narratives.
What inspired your “from the block for the block” design?
For the artwork, I wanted to illustrate a street scene that gives a sense of organic community, the kind where people connect, share moments, and contribute their own unique energy to the vibrancy of their block. In the illustration I want to depict everyday people, sitting outside taking a lunch break, eating lunch, buying flowers, etc. very representative of the diverse and dynamic neighborhoods that I live in. Most importantly highlighting the people you encounter on any giver block in the city. Different ages, styles, and backgrounds coming together.
Welcome to the METRO DROP.
The Price Drop Drop kicks off our new series blending community and style.
