Robnsteel Clothing I took some snapshots of the new gear at the show. This shit is so sick. Robnsteel is my pick for the best line in Magic Streetwear. I tried to hook up one of their tees at Michel K’s in SOHO but the shit was sold out before I got there. I can’t say enough about this line but it gives me fatih that people still desgin and not just manufacture hype.  Much luv to these guys. Keep it up.

Here is a few Pics of their booth.

I was amazed when I walked around the corner at pool to see that Plamercash had their own booth. And it was placed right next to some of their big sellers ( Crooked Monkey and Ames Bro. ) This was Crazy are you trying to tell your vendors that you are cutting them out, and trying to take a part of their market. WOW to me that is just a big slap in the face. If I was one of their selling brands I would no longer sell to them. But i guess in a lot of ways I would not stress to much their booth was dead, and their t-shirts looked really bad. I am really over the whole funny T-shirt act your time has come taking of store space. Stick to the web site guys don’t try to be something your not.

Where to start - Well for one the show was way to big. There was no way a buyer could really focus on any new brands. And if you were a new brand for sure you where a needle in a hay stack. I walked the show for 3 days and each day I saw a new brand that I had not see the day before. The point is what happened to that Amazing little show that had cutting edge brands that now other show had. Remember, the show used to hand pick there brands. I would say the show had a hand full of good brands but then a boat load of crap.

Here are a few of my picks from the show.

Project Show

Project Show Las Vegas

This could be the start of the end of Magic, brands starting their own shows. The hype and the excitement of Magic always layed in Streetwear. The air was let out of the Ties in streetwear and SLATE with the launch of Christian Audigier - Ed Hardy - When I move you move Trade show. This show was the buzz of Vegas. I am not kidding people that where not even in town for the show were talking about it.  As I walked the streetwear part of Magic it seemed like there was something missing. Yes Yes streetwear still had its Ghetto Stars but there really was no life to it.(wow Rick Ross was there)- Big deal !!!

S.L.A.T.E. was just dead, I really feel people are done with the whole hip cool guy bullshit this come from these lines. But the Words on every buyers mouths was “Christian Audigier - Ed Hardy - When I move you move Trade show”  I do have to say my ears were open to this whole hype. To put out there: the show was amazing buyers were writing paper, people were having a great time, over it all they had what Magic was missing - The Buyers with money!!! (Oh yea and every Star was there!!)  This show made this trip to Vegas worth it all. I will always love streetwear but I also think you kids need to step it up. Christian Audigier - Ed Hardy The new kings of the Fashion World.

Here are some clips from the lines and the show.

Photos of the show

Just got a little sneek peek at the new 9 Grand goods and I thought I would pass them alog to you kids. But what can I say about it all - Once again they have knock my socks off. By far this is one of my top picks for this years Magic. If you have a shop and don’t have this brand in stock you better get on it. I don’t how these heads keep coming up with this crazy good gear. Champs thats all I have to say about them Champs!!!

Now I know they may not be New Era but the designs rock anything out there. LIve It Sucka

This for real will be short and sweet!!

I have never been to a more Half ass tradeshow in my life. First off Project is known for the bag that they pass out this shows bag was cheaply made, it was a canvas tote bag. Second - when I walked the show I felt like it was all the same brand. Wait now that’s not all true there was one Brand that stood out First Brand clothing visit their site. Back to it - the show was boring and a waste of time, I really hope they step it up for Las Vegas if not I say this show is dead in the water. No Good brands and no buyers. Done Deal.

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.

Brooklyns Methods NYC takes Fashion to the Ipod age, with the release of their Methods Skins. They look great and a great why to reach the kids of the computer age. Now not only can I rock a Methods NYC shirt but my laptop and Ipod can match. You can hook yours up at www.music-skins.com

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.
