day 3

My feet hurt, that's new york for you. Good weather, gyro lamb, new places everyday makes a nigga feel like in an rpg game. Anyhow since alot of the spots i usually go around do not allow me to take pictures, i went ahead and jacked pictures from other websites, so this is a disclaimer. I do not own any of these pics.

Rolled thru Lafayette down to the recon store. Ran by og graffiti artist stash, who has done alot of collaborations with nike to produce the best airforces to date. Collecting any of his nike collabos is def. a collectors item. Stash also has his brand called recon and a collabo brand he does with futura called subware. Futura's graffiti art is allover the wall like the pic above. Make sure you swing by if you are around. Recon stock brands like j money, stash, futura, subware and limited edition nike quickstrikes.

Ran byk soho to check out the stussy store. Stussy has been making a killing in the collabo game recently. They just released their collabo collection with the living legend futura called destiny, and also a couple of items with original fake and head porter, But their most talked about collabo is with the japanese label neighborhood. Their collabo is called boneyards, they have alot coming out from this collabo including 3 nike blazers. You know what i will let the website do the talking

http://www.bnyds.com/L Train to brooklyn to swing by the punk rock inspired mishka brand. Mishka is probably the most "contraversal" brands out in america. The brand does not follow trends at all, they def. stick to their rock roots anytime they release their collections. Mishka has alot of occultism in their clothing, and i must say they make one of the best new eras in the game. Most of my fitteds are from mishka, and i must say they push the envelope in design everytime. There was a toy shop next to mishka called hi5 toy shop. That store is off the damn chain, i stumbled upon it by accident. The owner is good friends with nigo from a bathing ape. They stock alot of medicom toys and shit you have never seen before. As far as clothing, they stock alot of vintage bape i thought i would never find again. They also have some alife x futura collabo shirts from ages ago. Store is something serious. I made sure i copped the original fake sticker and pin they had sitting there. I call that best buy

The y-3 store, looking like you walked into a spaceship, They make one of the illest sneakers right now, just ask kanye.

Store of the day. The maisonmartinmargiela store. margiela is the essence of minimalism. Thier store looks like an incomplete studio, newspapers everywhere with broken white boxes all around. The store is indeed like an art gallery. Another interesting fact i learned about the store is that the store is so silent that the maximum amount of customers to date in the store in only 6 according to the salesman i spoke to. margiela himself is so unseen that nobody has ever seen the designer himself. Not his workers, not the press, no one. He wants his customers to focus on the clothes and not him. margiela is also a designer that really experiments on his pieces. I will let the pics at the bottom do the talking

Have you ever wondered why margiela model's faces are blocked out, it is because they are actually wearing sunglasses. These sunglasses make your eyes look blindfolded. I call it genius but not my steez personally. They are not avaialbe in america yet though

margiela also made this jacket out of gloves. He has done alot of experimenting and has really pushed it when it comes to fusing art with fashion. His website is so minimal that... you what check it out, but before you do, when you go on the site, just know your computer has not crashed, everything is ok, you will get it when you go there. Check it out

This is outside the marg. store. From what i found out alot of people mistake it for a bar or a deli. Martin is a genius.
New york is a jungle, but its about to get way more interesting tomorow and mad productive. Trust me it's that serious and i promise i will take pics next time. Peace
