Freshjive - Hope is Fading Fast


Never one to shy away from a battle/back down from their beliefs, Freshjive is apparently keeping with this direction under their new 'label free' approach. Not going to front, I wouldn't rock the shirt, although I do understand the message they are trying to convey (peep their explanation here), and respect the means for which they are trying to display their belief, I am just not a fan of demeaning our President (regardless of party affiliations) in any way. That being said, I am 100% against censorship, so if you are interested in the shirt, pre-order here.

The Hundreds - Winter 2009 Available now


My favorite shirt from the current line up, which is available now. Info:

In case you didn’t notice, The Hundreds are from California, and proud of it. And who reps Cali harder than these famous claymation raisins? Nobody, that’s who! So we took one of the most well known dried fruit advertising campaigns of all time for inspiration, and updated the fun little guys for the times – lacing them with accessories like a boombox, nice kicks, hats, skateboards, markers, and other fun stuff. Bomb logo print at the top back.

Available in royal blue, black, and yellow.

Supreme x Damien Hurst



British artist Damien Hirst was born in 1965 in Bristol, England.

During the 1990s Hirst was known as a wild child in the art world and his work embodied both everyday realism and provocative sensationalism. Known for his ironic wit and cultural commentary, Hirst often explores the theme of mortality through a variety of mediums and techniques from installation work, to painting and sculpture.

A series utilizing preserved dead animals suspended in formaldehyde (including a shark, a sheep and a cow) catapulted Hirst to fame amidst controversy. The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, a 14-foot tiger shark immersed in a glassed display case of formaldehyde became the iconic work of British art in the 1990s. Its sale in 2004 made Hirst the world's second most expensive living artist after Jasper Johns.

Hirst is known for his iconic graphic Spot paintings that depict rows of randomly-colored circles. Supreme will release a series of five individually designed decks and a Box Logo tee designed by Damien Hirst featuring his Spot paintings.

Available in-store November 19th and online November 23rd. Available in Japan on November 21st.

Manny Pacquiao X IM KING "Pound4Pound" Charity T-shirt


"This genuiune partnership not only commemorates Pacquiao's fight against Miguel Cotto on November 14, 2009 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, but also mark's valiant efforts to raise proceeds to help Typhoon Victims in Pacquiao's homecountry of the Philippines. Major devastation and tragedy struck on September 26th, 2009 to Metro Manila and it's surrounding areas. Part of the T-Shirt sales proceeds will be donated to the needy victims on behalf of the Manny Pacquiao Foundation and IMKing. The IM king “Pound4Pound” design is an inspiration based off Chief Datu Lapu-Lapu, who back in the 16th Century fought back against Spanish Conquistador, Ferdinand Magellan, and successfully defended his village and fellow Filipinos. Pacquiao actually portrayed the legendary country hero in an annual re-enactment held in Cebu City, Philippines, as he is the perfect modern day example of Lapu-Lapu as a national hero. It is Pacquiao's Filipino Fighting spirit and an inspiration to the people to make it out of adversity and never let anything stop your dreams." Available at IM KING's homepage.

Air Jordan 2010


Wow. Gotta be honest, not a huge fan of these. I like the siloutte a lot, feeling the red midsole, tuxedo toe-box is straight, but what's up with that disk?! I'm not even sure what the streets, excuse me, blogs, are saying about this one, and I don't really care. Anyway, this is the first Signature Air Jordan shoe endorsed by anyone but the logo himself, so that's cool (good look for D-Wade). Nice write up on the unvieling via Dimemage. Detailed pics here, and a nice 'What if' situation here.

Freshjive - Burritto Supreme


So when I first saw this shirt as part of the Freshjive season preview, I was dumbfounded. Was this a shot at Supreme, its Fairfax neighbor across the street, or The Hundreds, its nightbor up the block on the corner of Rosewood and Fairfax? Well, Bobby Hundreds seemed to think the same, posting on his blog today the following: "…and Freshjive? What’s up with that?? Hmm…"

I'd like to think that its just a Freshjive commentary on the current Streetwear consumer, quick to pick up anything with their favorite Brand Name (Supreme) or Emblem (Adam Bomb) on it, but who knows.

Freshjive - LA Downtown Article


Excellent piece on Freshjive, one of the few originators (and innovators!) left in the game. Read up on thier history, and the interesting direction Rick Klotz is taking his marquee brand (by essentially removing branding altogether). Full article here.

Throwback Tuesday

Going back, way back. It's a shame artists like Otis Redding didn't get a chance to share the visuals for their musical masterpieces via music vidoes. Anyway, I got caught listening to this song while stuck in traffic driving home from work, and the imagery Otis paints is stronger than any video could portray anyway. Big ups to Otis Redding.
