LUDWIG VAN Introduces this gem. You’re going to like this one…it’s most definitely “Barnes-worthy”. Stay tuned for details on the drop.

I was lucky enough (although didn’t know it at the time) to meet Keith Haring in 1984. I was a young B-Boy at the time and we (Justice Crew) were performing at the NYC Swatch Watch Festival along with several other crews. A friend from Hip-Hop Int’l introduced us to Keith and said “he’s the most interesting writer I  know”. Since that day I’ve grown up and am a giant fan of his. Even though he seemed quite shy, he still felt like “one of us”.  My personal love and history of being part of the B-Boy era as well as the MMA & Grappling world led me to this conclusion: why not honor Kieth with a true tongue and cheek concept. I’m the first one to speak against ‘biting’ or ‘knocking’ something off – But this is one of the few exceptions I’ll make.  Somehow, I feel that if he were with us today he would get a kick out of this, if not already have done something to this effect, seeing how MMA and the UFC have penetrated pop-culture. “GABLE GRIP” is the first in the series – I have four or five more up my sleeve (wait til’ you see Rear Naked). Hope you enjoy them as much as I do. They’ll be on sale soon at the LUDWIG VAN shop, and 50% of all proceeds will be going to the RED HOT Organization to benefit AIDS research and treatment. – Peace.

He’s one of my favorite rappers. But maybe even more so, one of my favorite characters.

That’s just about all folks! – Getting near the last vestiges of recent LUDWIG VAN product. Here at LUDWIG VAN we focus on not just saying “limited edition” – but rather re-defining what it means. Most styles are cut from vintage fabrication yielding only 35-75pcs. per style. So next time you think about what your wearing, wouldn’t you want to own something that not every other tom-dick-and-harry is wearing? Once they’re gone, they’re gone! Check out the shop if you like anything – or don’t!

Had to post these photos…more stellar photos to come soon from Valerie at A Butterfly By Day. Stay tuned! – this is the lifestyle!

We’re just about all sold out on these gems…only a handful left in both colors Get yours here – Once these are gone, there are no “re-ups” they gone!

Another stellar collaboration from the minds of LUDWIG VAN x QUINTIN Co. The SCOUT Series installment makes the most of a limited supply of WWII-era army twill and Vietnam-era mitchell camo! Limited supply available now at LUDWIG VAN Shop.

The LUDWIG VAN “McMurphy” is now on sale at the LUDWIG VAN SHOP. We didn’t try to over think this classic except to add the “LV” vintage chain stitch logo (tone-on-tone) Black on Black so that this is a one of a kind instead of a swap meet special. Check it out. Even if it’s warm outside it’s still cool to sport this.
