No, this t-shirt is not an official piece of Wu-Tang Clan merchandise, but it is intimately connected to the exact same 1990s culture that inspired them.
The Connection
The Shared Imagery: Both the Wu-Tang Clan and this skateboard clothing brand drew heavily from 1970s classic martial arts films. The iconic imagery of Shaolin monks, temples, and "self-cultivation" philosophy influenced both the group's aesthetics and the 90s streetwear scene.
The Song "Shaolin Worldwide": Coincidentally, the Wu-Tang Clan recorded a track explicitly titled "Shaolin Worldwide" for the Next Friday movie soundtrack in 1999. However, the song came out years after the clothing brand was founded in 1996.
