So my homie Brian came by and watched me unpack the latest shipment from the good people a Nike SB... Sickness... The new Tie dye colorway on the dunk mid is killing it...Pusha from 'Clipse' has a signature sound he makes at the start of a song to show how sick the verse is gonna be, I have the face about how sick the sneakers are! Here is a different one but same thing being said! So if you ever see me getting locked up, it's because I forgot to take that ox from out of my pocket after doing this all day...
Click the images to get up, close and personal with the kicks...
So I had a visit from a real down to earth journalist that had a few questions for me. Yseabel from Groove.se has posted some of the conversation on her blog (or blogg in Swedish). If you can read it, then do... If not, try and translate it with a widget from firefox or something...
Big word that means cool... What ever you think on the elitism thing, if you look at it from a subjective point of view (which could fall on either side of the fence), you have the opportunity to be a part of something special ( and in this case, fun too ).
Doing something that no one else is doing, being the only one to witness, or find something that no one else has, doing something in a place that is not the proper setting for this activity. Ya dig... This could also roll into the purchasing of something that there are only 25 of.
All that said, the EURO Launch of the P-Rod2 High is tomorow in Barc. at Free.
So for the last month or so I have been rocking to the, Seinfeld inspired Walé album... You might have heard it at the shop if you stopped by...
Anyway, there is finally a video for it, that features, 'Chris' from Marlo's squad on (the realest show on t.v. ever), The Wire (first appearing in the 3 season)... Who just happens to be Walé's cousin!
But this needs to be explained, see if you are the type of guy that comes to the shop and wanna buy a 3ooo:- accessory to carry around and look cool only to 14 year old girls, then I hate you, (mr. P.R.)...
Then on the other end of the funnel you have my homie Eric Wagner. I lived with this guy, he is really this guy, he ain't out to get your attention, he will be this guy tomorrow and he was this guy yesterday. He didn't even put this video up on the net, Haveboard had to do it!
After I have worked a long night shift at a cafe, he would sneak a speaker into my bedroom and play Eddie Murphy, RAW really low while I was trying to sleep... Causing me to never sleep and just crack the f-up all night instead... Dude is the best! 100% original!
What I am saying is that carrying around a boxcar with clean white wheels is not fooling anyone, watch your back since you can't turn on it (your about to get hit by a car), just get some rollerblades!
See just cause you ride something that looks like a skateboard, does not make you a skateboarder! (and if this don't apply to you, do take it to heart, if it ain't about you, don't make it about you)
So in case you didn't know... The Röhsska Museum of Design in Gothenburg, Sweden has a skateboard exhibit that started yesterday... and guess who is in it...
Me, Jonas Mossburg and Jake Han.

So I went to NYC the other day and ran into this...
I Sk8ed, hung out, and saw the world evolve like I just left 10minutes ago... Meaning it felt like nothing had changed... I saw, mad people and I missed then all more knowing that I had no time to hang out but still good to see you kats!
What up L.I. Lou!!! Speaking of Long Island... oh, ang Jay Wrote about it too!
Getting ready for the craze...There are mad videos so watch and see how he ended up with this knot! Luis Tolentino Ollied 45" Another Video here... Oh, and here, and here too! It even made it's way to HypeBeast and I some how ended up on it... Big up Phoes...
Then the heavens opened up on the city...Lucky for my family, Charles and Gio looked out for us...Those are my homies, much love to you both, feel better Gio! (sorry for ears Charles)Then we ran over to Invisible Art, 148 Orchard (directly across from the reed space) to meet another homie, Jeb.Who hooked me and the wife up...Usually free tattoos are the result of 39/ 40 beers after you realize that your drunk and you end up with something that not only makes you girlfriend act like a bitch just to breakup, guilt free, also has an ugly way of making you avoid self-reflection every time you see it... But this one is different, I am psyched everytime I look down! Thanx Jeb!!! We will be back ASAP!
And now for some random shots...
