Montana Colors 2013 Limited Edition Cans

Montana have kicked off the new year with a new set of eye catching limited edition cans. 

The five selected artists to put their trademark styles onto the cans are Belin, Mistery, How & Nosm, Kofie and Roid. As with the last series, each is presented in a custom wooden box stamped with the specific artist's seal.

All of these look dope but for me it's all about ROID's design; one of my favourite writers, he holds it down for the UK. There's only 500 of each so don't sleep on it.
