Starbury VS Nike
With boxing in the shitter we have to look for what I think would be a good fight. Here is my opening question: Is it the price if something that makes desirable? If so then nike as that on lock. With this whole hype of the throwback shoe driven by crappy shops like Fight club NYC or LA, DQM, and Transit I have found a dimond in the rough. When I first heard about Starburys costing under $10.00 my first thought was crappy payless shoes. I gave Starburys no time of day, there was no way I was going to been seen in NYC or LA with a pair of $10.00 shoes on my feet. And here I a sit ready to eat my words. I was given a pair to rock no doubt I was a changed man. Price had nothing to do with the fact that these are solid sneeks not only do they look good but fell good as well. It made stop to think how much do Nike’s really cost and how much of my money goes to all the hype and cocaine for the athletes that nike pays. I’m done trash you dunks and be a true treand setter and rock some Starburys. Or you call be a normal Sneaker sheep and kick out the $500.00 for the reissue of some nike that a 12 girl made for .12 cents.

The LRG Courvoisier Complex party at Reed space.
If you missed the party then you are a whole lot smarter then I was. It was your normal look how cool I am type of party. You know the kind, let all stand around and floss the cool gear that I paid way to much for. Not only that I dont think I even saw any LRG gear in the place. I saw a ton crap ass Courvoisier boxes with glasses in them. I have to say I am down with Reed space but next time can you kick up the AC the shit was like 120º i was sweeting my ass off. The best part of the night was the DJ it was nice to here some west coast tunes be rocked on the east. Much luv. As for the party to much hype not enough show.

Lower Haters Clothing Company
I really have mixed feeling for this company. One part of me wants to love there designs and the other part of me wants to hate them becuase trying to buy from them or even be in contact with them sucks. I wish they would tell us a little more about the company maybe that will help make up my mind. I have their new catalog but its really not worth my time to scan any of the cartoon designs and post them up here. And when I use the term clothing company I use it loosly I should say t-shirt printers. The one thing that I do know is their web site really sucks.

I remember the days of t-shirts costing me no more the $15.00 and that was for the crazy name brand tee. When will this trend of the over $30.00 tee end. Really!!!! are we that dumb to pay that for a t-shirt. Do you not know that at the most the shirt cost them $6.00 to make. And $6.00 is for a really high end tee with a shit load of colors. I still think the best is the dumb ass kids that are paying the $80.00 for a Billionaire boys club tee. I mean really give it up it will not make you cool.

Plain Jane Couture
Home of the hotest Polos in the world not even Kitson can keep these in stock. This year at Project NY This was one of the only line that really caught my eye. This is not a deep line but it was done right. At first it took me a few mins to even get in the booth there were so many paople waiting to buy. Once I was in I was hooked. Plain Jane took the screen printed shirt to a whole to class level, they were soft and nicely put together. The Polos where the out of this world with embroidery not only on the chest but around the neck line as well. This placement is new and refreshing for once. stop by there web site and check it out. http://www.plainjanecouture.com/

I really don’t have a lot to say about the united tradeshow in NY, and what I do have to say is not good. It took be all of 3 mins to walk the whole show. For one it was so small for the other there was nothing much to get me to stop. The only some what good lines at this show was; RZST clothing, Green Apple Tree, Kill Shop Kill, and Mishka. Other then those line every things looked liked shit. I was really let down by the guys from Frank 151 who had nothing but hats, my advice stick to the magazine because your fashion sucks. I can really understand why this show was dead!!!!!! Lines sucked and the marketing was really bad. Who ever was in charge of this I think it’s time to let them go. United you let me down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obey Brand Clothing
I Used to be a die hard fan of Obey clothing now I find my self checking out obey gear just to see how they are trying to capture the mainstream market. I don’t really need to go over the Histroy of Obey because if you are reading a streetwear blog you already know. But from the base of fashion to what Obey as become I must give them a big thumbs down for their shirt desgins. Come on really who still makes all over prints no one that has any fashion Ideas. Not only is it an all over print they are still trying to push the I am so cool because I am so RETRO tape look.

But on the other hand????? I do have to give obey a little credit(or do I) they are trying some what to become a clothing line, and not just a t-shirt line. This Port coat is a great start. But I think for now I am going to have to step off of the Obey bus, if need be go back to just the basic logo and in the mean time fire your designer.

WESC and KCDC Brooklyn in the world light


If you are a streetwear fan or even a skate fan this is a must have shirt. These are 2 of the most amazing companies working together. KCDC is one of the best skate shops you will ever step foot in. What make this shop so amazing is the people that run it. KCDC is the true skate shop in all its glory no I am to cool for skool bullshit. Just the love of skateing. And you already know how I feel about WESC. With out a doubt one of the best lines out today.
