The saga begins in the year 2025 A.D. in Neo Tokio, a city-nation considered by its citizens the most technologically advanced society. But beyond the propaganda, it is really a simulated reality controlled by Supreme Executives for the sole purpose of pacifying and subduing all forms of creative freedom: restricting self-expression, curbing intellectual curiosity and perpetually enslaving it’s citizens.
After realizing the state of the union, Gommi Arcadian plans a rebellion against the corporate owners of Neo Tokio. In collaboration with a band of cyberpunks, using art as a weapon and research as ammunition, Gommi forms a resistance movement known as ARMi (Art, Research, Media and Intelligence), which strikes back at the empire utilizing innovative technology, graphic design and street art to spread inspiring messages of creative freedom.
I visited Venice beach while I was out in California and I have to say it is such a breath of fresh air, calming and serene. Venice is also home to a very famous/infamous skate park that is visited by hundreds daily, on a lucky day you can see some of your favorite pro’s skating the bowl. I was really impressed by the amount of youngsters and girls killing it at the park.
I was chilling with Hommy Diaz from DC who was probably getting inspired for FALL 2030 DC life Collection.
Mr. So LA himself Chris LEE from CtotheJL chilling as usual.
Check out this amazing video of this 5 year old kid killing it. He might be the next big pro/
*Venice is a district in western Los Angeles, California, United States. It is known for its canals, beaches and circus-like Ocean Front Walk, which features performers, fortune-tellers and vendors.[1] Throughout the summer months, the boardwalk is actively entertaining, and this tradition continues on weekends in the winter.[2] It is an important tourist attraction in Southern California,[3] and has retained its popularity in part because it is an attractive location for walking and bicycling.[2] It was home to early Beat poets and artists in Los Angeles. via

A carton showed up at the office on Friday from my family from Krew and Supra…oh my this was a heavy box of goods. I think they sent me every piece from their spring 2010 line. I decided to shoot the product in a more creative way around the office and gives you guys a peek of the fresh goods.
First let’s start with the denim, as you guy may know I am a fan of Krew denim. They sent me a few colours and a pair of Selvege that we will talk about later.
These are the super dope selvege jeans I was talking about! I love the cut and the fit.
These snapbacks are really dope. 1 of them says Original and the other says KREW in the LA KING’s font.
They sent me a few woven and plaid shirts. Green is a hot colour for spring!
Yup! I got 2 pairs of Skytop II’s, 1 in black suede and the navy leather. The Bandit is a really dope silhouette and the Cuban 1.5 with laces is very fresh and classic.

I got a long awaited package in the mail today! I’ve been hearing about this package for a few days now and it finally arrived. It came from the homies P-Plus and Lissa Monet…it was their acclaimed collaborative mix cd.
I think DJ’s are going to have to step their game up after this one… The packaging is so dope! WOW! I hope you guys notice the reference points.
The linear notes were originally written by hand which is such a great personal touch.
Double cd! 1 mixed by P-plus and the other mixed by Lissa Monet I was supposed to download it like everyone else but when word came I was getting 1 in the mail I decided to wait before I heard it. I’m glad I waited!
I love the imagery of the packaging…really shows the Dj’s love for music and fashion (if you know them, you’ll understand what I mean)
It is so amazing that the advancement of technology has allowed smaller brands to create content and experiences that would have cost a fortune back in the day. This looks like a commercial that should be playing on TV. Great Concept guys!
Yesterday I received some new kicks from my family at New Balance! I received 3 pairs of dopeness I want to share with you guys. This pair right here is the 875 Trail boot collaboration with Concepts out in Boston. The 875 is a boot-like runner and it includes RollbarT technology in the sole unit. These are really dope and the Concept signature brown and red colourway makes it so sweet! (Shout out to the homie Frank The Butcher over at Concepts)
I also got another pair of 875 Trails but in “All Black Everything” I don’t think these ever hit retail…they were brought in for seeding purposes.
Last but not least I got another Concepts collaboration but the 1500…these are insane, the colourway again is so very sweet. Concepts really does a great job on their collabs.
Big Shout out and Thank you to my New Balance Family!
About
*Concepts and New Balance presents “The Freedom Trail Collection”
New Balance 1500 and 875
Boston-based New Balance announces the next collection from the brand’s Partnership Program –The Concepts Collection- designed and developed in tandem with venerable sneaker shop, Concepts, in Cambridge, MA.
Featuring two silhouettes from New Balance’s USA team, The Concepts Collection re-introduces the classic 1500 sneaker and launches the first-ever 875 boot.
Inspired by one of Boston’s most celebrated landmarks, The Freedom Trail, the collection pays homage to the shared importance of historic Boston as both New Balance and Concepts share headquarters in this New England city.
With a nod to the Freedom Trail’s red footpath and the brown brick of Boston’s antiquated North End neighborhood, the shoes came to life in premium brown leather and red accents.
The 1500 is a heritage New Balance style originally built domestically back in 1989. The 1500 was originally built as a fully-loaded technical running shoe. Specific detail executed solely for Concepts include: full grain leather upper, pigskin leather lining (more luxurious and breathable that a comparable synthetic product), and embossed tongue tag.
The 875 is a brand new style launched to the public for the first time via the Concepts Collection. The boot was designed for comfort and durability. The sole unit includes New Balance Rollbar™ technology for maximum support and stability. Additionally, NB designers used a PU Wedge in the heel (similar to the wedge that offers superior support in the NB 993) and compression molded EVA in the forefoot. The 875 features a full grain leather upper, pigskin leather lining, and embossed tongue tag.
With quality and durability a high priority, New Balance and Concepts pushed to maintain the same premium materials on both the 875 boot and 1500 sneaker. While the 1500 features a combination of perforated and solid suede with burnished leather, the 875 features the same combination of leathers with unique venting tick marks on the collar of each boot for maximum breathability. via
