July 08 Archive
RetroSuper
Super Eyewear, one of my fav up and coming new sunglass lines out of Italy. Here are a few styles from their Fall 08 collection. They're take on the classic wayfarer, clean aesthetic offered in smooth color ways.
UNIF Gets UP
Look out for the new UNIF Campaign going up on street corners near you.. Here are a few shots of the calm before the storm..
Slimane Diary
Hedi Slimane, previous art director at YSL and the mind behind Dior Homme. Recently I came across his blog diary, featuring hundreds of pictures from around the world. Here are a few of my favorites, barely touching the surface of his archive.
Buseyism
GotVMail just launched a new advertising campaign with Gary Busey as their advocate, in a series of shorts. Here, Busey figures out what it takes in order to become an entrepreneur or maybe it's that he has completely lost his mind. Either way, it's amazing.

SOFT
Saturday the JoyRich crew and I hit up Hard to drop some gear to some of the artists.. The lineup, similar to what we've seen before but worth the trip..
40 minute parking situation, 4 different lines for 20 different wrist bands..... 2 hours later losing everyone..
This guy was amazing he told me that chain cost him 20 G's, when in fact he was trying to hustle kids out of $40 tickets..

Visuals
I know I've talked about MGMT before, but I came upon a high resolution version of their Electric Feel video.. One of the cooler videos I've seen, the direction is on point along with the weird pixie dust animation, and orange crush being pounded out of 40's, haha. Check it HERE. (Give it second to load)
Headlined'
Kiwamu from Warp dropped this by JoyRich for me the other day... The dude on the cover looks identical to Mr. Park, parking extraordinaire at the UNIF offices, amazing..
Hiero Loves UNIF
Eric (UNIF) and I linked with the Hieroglyphics last night during their show at the El Rey, thanks to our homie Nav over at FiveFour... Two bags of clothes and trees later, A Plus and Opio were rockin UNIF during their set..

J*DAVEY
Once again we're collaborating with a Los Angeles based music group, this time it being JDavey.. With their new album just hitting stores we thought it would be time to release ten pairs of JDavey kicks at their URB Magazine launch party. Last night the first 10 customers buying their CD recieved a 50% off coupon for the Stampd' LA kicks..
Check out J*Davey
Fishy Fourth
Long days and nights have lead to slow updates, but here is a quick recap from the nations independence day.. Miguel (Barracuda) had a few people over at his (and my dream) loft downtown.. Toy admiring, water balloon security guards, and a 360 angel of LA can make for a fun fourth..
Gucci Mang
Necessary for gambling in trashy casinos during a heat wave, wearing linen shorts. But seriously these are necessary.
Late Night Jams
Ok, so the good majority of nights I'm up late working on either shoes or some side project. When I'm not upsetting my neighbors with itunes it's MTV Jams (something that I constantly get scrutinized for, given my weakness for rap).. Here are a few vids MTV Jams entertained me with tonight.. Haha these are pretty funny, so good.
