The internet has changed everything. When you look at contemporary culture—youth culture especially—people are tapping blogs, social networks, and other online resources to scout trends and entertainment from places that fascinate them but may be just out of reach. This type of innocuous transmission isn’t new and we’ve seen it before. MTV [...]

Until recently I had never heard the term sneakerhead, nor to my knowledge had I met one. Over three hours with Harley Carrara, owner of Mass Appeal Skateboard Shop in Plainville, Connecticut, and three Nike Design Customization Experts at Westfarms Mall’s Nike iD Studio, I learned that though I hadn’t realized it, the mythic sneakerhead [...]

The Brooklyn Circus‘ attention to detail and their fierce love of their brand, is what keeps me coming back. It had been a while since my last visit to their shop on Fillmore, and when I saw they had landed the coveted Pro-Keds account (only two other shops in the Bay Area carry them) I [...]

I think that it’s always great to see art and design reflect the economic state of the government, even if it does mean that everyone is probably going broke. The shirt will be [...]

These two guys seem to be popping up more and more in my daily reading. I first caught sight of them when I was doing a stop over at the Sartorialist blog to get my style game up. I saw these peculiar, yet perfectly positioned, Lego jewelery accessories they were both sporting. On further investigation it turns out [...]

Just when I thought I couldn’t have any more N.E.R.D in my life, turns out that front man Pharrell and BAPE mastermind NIGO just released the look book for season 7 of the Billionaire Boys Club line. I wasn’t always a fan of BBC, but this season has a distinct blend of couture and streetwear that could easily [...]

I want to congratulate all of the HUF set and wish them the best with their new store front in the Fairfax area of LA. This opening makes store three for the famed bay area skate/street wear boutique. Mega (Blackscale/ HUF) moved down to LA to help manage the new store and I wish him [...]
