"Great City Terrible Shoes" Unisex Longsleeve T-shirt

The print turns cracked marble into lettering and folds of cloth on a Unisex Longsleeve T-shirt, carrying the same cream, black and grey through the words and the statue. Great City has heavy slab letters with dark shadows, their broken surfaces echoing the stone steps beneath the figure’s bare feet. The statue faces away, its head bowed and its toga falling down its back. In its right hand, a pair of sneakers hangs by the laces. That small detail explains the complaint before the solid cream words Terrible Shoes finish it.

A stone column wrapped in trailing ivy gives the figure company, while the lettering leaves little room around it. The upper capitals crowd the top corners, and the lower right grows dense with words. Near the base, Walk Me to a Bench appears in black serif capitals inside a thin outlined banner. Please gets a box of its own, turning the request into a separate, final plea. Leafy flourishes fill the bottom edge, continuing the ivy around the cracked steps and the weary figure. The joke comes from a very ordinary problem given a marble monument: the city is great, but walking through it has become uncomfortable. It suits someone who enjoys city walks and jokes about sore feet.
