In spirit of Temko's around the world traveling tour, we're going to throw him a going away party this Saturday in San Diego.. If in the mood for mojitos, white blazers, grillz, wayfarers, and a dope pad, get to know Temko before Saturday.

It's been a long and blurry past few weekends. In between being really busy we've been able to fit in a few good nights.. Stampd' LA x Revolver Fridays..

This was taken about a week ago at my homie Eric's studio.. Credit to Miss Berry for the styling.. There were five different looks this girl was going for and we were able to put the Stampd' LA's on her for one of her styles. So I've heard there are a bunch of good shots, so this is the first of many..

We just put up the I got 4 on it design on the customizer.. Dress up like Mickey Mouse and rock these kicks this weekend!

.. but the Eagles are cool too. In light of the football season, I thought I would hook one of my good friends up with a pair of kicks to match his favorite team.. This in no was means I am turning my back on my team, the Chargers... Go BOLTS!!

Due to the fact that the fires in San Diego are honing in on my home town of Encinitas and surrounding areas, Solana Beach, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, the collaboration studio won't be launched today. The homies at Cuker Design had to evacuate their studio, with the majority of San Diegans out of work today. Our thoughts go out to everyone affected by this tragedy..

I've recently started to paint murals, the first being in my living room, the second going in Jerry's salon. Soon enough Stampd' LA will have a zeebra painting division, haha who knows..

The I got 4 on it kicks is launching soon on the customizer. The Disney inspired shoe is one of my favorite customs that we've yet to launch.. Get em..!!

These guys are so dope, the new CD dropped in June, but I heard even newer songs at the Neighborhood Frestival that were nuts!? Hopefully we'll be able to lace these guys up in the near future.. Their down with Sunglasses is a Must so its not too far way. Get a sneak peak of some of their new work and tour dates at myspace.com/chromeo....

This Friday I'm sponsoring the Revolver party at 1652 N. Cherokee, right across the street from Les Deux.. Royal Rumble's on the ones and twos, Andre Legacy is performing, including a special guest.. The night will go off, roll if in the neighborhood!

The first collaboration design including UNIF is dropping a week from today 10/23. Check the new look of the customizer and stay tuned.. Don't Sleep..!

I recently lost my digital camera, so while I'm in the process of maxing out my best buy card to get another one, I'm going to archive my iphoto and bless the blog with a few classics

Hit up Play, Cahuenga and Yucca, Sundays to support Cottrel and his hustle..

I think everyone is on a Justice tip these days, especially with them playing at Detour and the Standard last weekend. Here's them performing on the Kimmel show. One of the most creative performances by a Dj set I've ever seen. note; Michael, Rick James, Prince, and Stevie Wonder.... Crazy

I'm not clicky enough yet to embedded the file myself.. Hopefully by the time you read this Todd already dialed me in..(update: It's true Todd came to the rescue again, God he's smart!)

Wow, finally it's here! Between organizing the artists and brands we are going to be working with as well as updating our online customizer, it seems like it's taken forever to come to life but we are about to be up and running.

We'll be offering two collabo designs a month released through the customization studio, with the possibility of being distributed through Conveyor at Fred Segal. We're first teaming up with Eric from UN1F to unveil the shoe that we previously showed this past season at Project and United. It features two 80's inspired heads, one of a man featured on the left side and the other a woman on the right.

The majority of the designs we release in connection with apparel companies will change depending on their line each season. So keep checking back to see what will be changing in the months to come!

From pizza dresses to hamburger outfits Jeremy Scott holds no bar.. Reaching the likes of Kanye, Madonna, Bjork, to name a few, he's on top of his game. Also, he just launched a collaborative effort with Fruition in Las Vegas, offering items from his hard to find collection. He's definitely a huge inspiration.

In the spirit of the Stampd' Sta series I thought I would reflect on a few items of inspiration, i.e. pieces from Bathing Ape. One of my good friends, Ill Town, has a collection of street culture items that i couldn't believe. Things ranging from custom David Flores paintings, to Banksy originals, to vintage Bathing Ape T's. Two things that really caught my eye were both from Bape. The first being, one of the earliest Bathing Ape shirts ever to be printed, personally screened by Nigo. The quality was iffy and blank t was a Hanes!! The next was a collaboration shoe Bape did with Converse, before Nigo realized why collaborate when I can knock off..

Don't worry soon enough you'll be able to cop pieces similar to these through our online store..

..we dropped the next shoe in the Stampd' Sta series. A little more simplistic than the majority of the color ways we offer, but most definitely a classic.. Get em!

Check the customizer for details...

We hit up the Standard Downtown last night to catch the aftermath of the Detour Music Festival. Fortunately we got there just in time to see Afrobots throw down a dope performance, followed by a Justice set.. The venue was a little different, not the usual roof top location but, on the fourth floor in a banquet room, it definitely got heated in there. Luckily the music was on point to keeping the mood alive..

Here a pair of Camera inspired customs, done for the beautiful girl displayed in the good majority of the pics on our site.. For now she'll stay underground but who knows maybe tomorrow she'll be on the cover of Maxim.. Good lookin Todd....

A new color way including trianglez, zig zagz, and lotz of colorz.

Another design in the Stampd' Sta series in hitting the customizer this Friday 10/5.. Don't sleep!

I headed into the TOMS shoe headquarters yesterday to sit down with Pete Ferrer, long time Nike Executive, shoe industry connoisseur and Vice President of shoe sales for TOMS. Pete has from the beginning been very cool, a fresh change from the vast majority of people in this industry, where people tend sit on their high horses, hesitant to give the new bread of kids doing their thing a chance. We were able to talk about some of the upcoming shoes TOMS has dropping as well as the much anticipated TOMS x Stampd' LA, uh oh... Good lookin Pete!

One of the most official trophies I've ever seen..
