Our good friend Tristan at PROPER in Long Beach CA did yet another amazing collaboration w/ Vans Shoes. A very clean, casual and original style of shoes. Also, dont forget to stop by there clothing retail store and check out LUDWIG’S Fall Collection and enjoy the great customer service and product they have to offer.
Check this Matrix style photo capture of Tocco by Dave-O. Dave-O is another old friend from Michigan, and Bill just emailed this to me so i posted it because i thought it was insane!. Check out Dave-O’s website, and you can see more captures. There is even a couple of Danforth too! This looks amazing.
Made a trip to Hong Kong to oversee the production of the Matix book”This Is Progress” that i have been working on for the last year. While there, Willard and I caught up with Eugene from Hypebeast. We went to a diner style Hong Kong lunch (Eugene, did you ever drink that Carlsberg special beer?) and talked for a while about the market, blogs, streetwear, and soccer, apparently Eugene is quite an athlete - anyhow, BIG ups to Eugene for making the time to hang out and put faces to names…it’s much better that way. More about Hong Kong soon…thanks Eugene.
Mike and I went to HK to check on some minor production, shake hands with our contacts, drop off a book project for Matix, wrestle with the locals, eat, drink (only a bit…I swear), etc.
