Collection: Brooklyn Zoo™

Brooklyn Zoo™ — BK Republic × Chris Bowman

Hand-drawn expression. Untamed Brooklyn attitude.

Welcome to Brooklyn Zoo™, a new clothing line from BK Republic in collaboration with artist and comedian Chris Bowman, where original hand-drawn artwork meets the independent spirit of streetwear. Bringing together hip-hop energy, rock ’n’ roll attitude, and a sense of humor, Brooklyn Zoo celebrates people who make their own lane—and have something to say along the way.

At the heart of the collection is Bowman’s hand-drawn artwork. His creative voice gives the line its personality, bringing an artist’s eye and a comedian’s perspective to the clothes we wear. The drawings become conversation starters: an invitation to look closer, catch the humor, and express a little of your own wild side.

BK Republic brings its Brooklyn roots and connection to hip-hop culture to that vision, creating a meeting place for art, music, comedy, and personal style. Brooklyn Zoo channels the energy of a borough where different sounds, personalities, and influences share the same block—and individuality is part of everyday life.

Made for the art lovers, music heads, creative outsiders, and unapologetic originals, Brooklyn Zoo invites you to dress with personality. Build a look around the artwork or work it into your everyday rotation; let your style tell the rest of the story.

Wear the art. Bring the attitude. Stay untamed.
