From the brand: On The Stoop depicts neighbors hanging out on their apartment stairs together. This tradition of sitting on a stoop is a native New Yorker’s version of enjoying the outdoors and is a common occurrence in Latino and black neighborhoods. It captures unifying moments such as braiding hair, chatting, and eating together. Details include a rat tail comb, piragua (shaved ice), latino takeout & street food and a red awning akin to those found in Hispanic neighborhoods in Queens.
