In San Diego for ASR, not too many photos this time around… battery is dying and trying to save for more days on the road up to LA… if you’re around, come by and say hello!! =)
My fav lady(/ies) from the swoosh hooked these up while I was in Vegas hehe, along with 2 others. I was so happy because I jocked these off Wendy’s post on Nitro:licious!!!
First thing that comes to mind is “Toirtle Turtle!” except this was actually inspired by their larger relatives, the tortoise. Colorways are Sail/Metallic Gold with Dark Cinder, it brings class to the ultimate “boy” shoe. Reminds me of my mocha Jordan retro III’s hehe! I was wearing heels that night and put these bad boys on right after receiving them! Note to self: Don’t fool yourself Jess, you know you can’t wear heels for more than 20 minutes!
Here are the rest of the photos of Day 2. Rhandy (the man behind the In4mation gear design) beat me to the booth early! And YES, that is In4mation denim that you see… Holler!
Said hello to the homie Roxy Cottontail =)
And Laurel passed by!!! Yay! Reppin Hellz. And that’s Oliver of Bodega in Boston - he’s funny
On the right is Brien aka B.Mo! I actually used to work with this guy back in college - we worked public safety in booths wearing awesome red uniforms… I also drove a huge shuttle and golf cart around campus - oooh yea! And now look at him… repping The Hundreds yay!
Ew I look gross, but Ivy (Magic) is always on point.
Thanks Nat for letting me meet Mark Smith (Jordan) - he was nice and thank you for the bottle!
Walked a few booths down to Staple to see what they had going on over there, managed to see Jeff once, I think the rest of the time he was at the tables HAHAHA jk - but JEFF, 2×2 words for you: Head Porter x I Like.
Pigeon mayhem!
And after a few nights of debaucherie (NOT providing any photos of those nights - lol), finally came last day of Magic/SLATE. Although I thought it would be a pretty easy day, I wasn’t at all suprised that a lot more people came by to check out the latest goodies from In4mation.
Ray is my homie fo’ lyfe! (please say with some thug accent) | That’s Piney - one of our PR ladies from MilkMilk! Dance machine!
Two of the youngest hustlers in the game - keep an eye out for these guys: Rashad (co-worker at theFNDTN and Playcloths rep) and Chris (CtotheJL).
Jen (Kilo/Rocksmith) | I’ll have to get back to you on the info on these chicks, but they doin it big! (plus I gotta track one of them down as they have evidence of some furniture dancing one night - ACK!)
Todd (In4), Tony Ferguson (Alife), Sunny (MilkMilk), Jun (In4)
That’s my homegirl Julie (Stussy Girls) from SF, I absolutely adore her! If I still lived in SF, she’d be my friend lol. | Ivy!
Don’t forget to peep HomeRoom’s blog for more photos - and Kris was able to shoot many pencil pics lol. See my blazers? Don’t hate - 1 of 3 for now hehehehe!
Jun is tired… and Sky (Riottt) is gangsta - check out his Gabriel Urist pendant
Then check out MY Gabriel Urist pendant - can’t take the Bay out of this chick… yes. That IS a boob.
Nicooooo (Staple Design), he’s my aim buddy | Jeff Carvalho - what can I say about him… I love this guy =)
So we made it back to Vegas for yet another successful tradeshow for In4mation (don’t forget to check out the new site)! This time around was great because Julie (Addict) and I arrived a day before set up and got a chance to just relaaaaax.
Our suite was soooo comfy!
And then the next day I met up with the In4mants to set up our booth - good times good times…
And check out these bad boys! Yes coming out in greeeeyyyy
After setting up, Julie and I room raided the Hellz-Bellz suite at the Venetian too! Bam gave us these awesome necklances/usb drives!!
Afterward, I met up with Laurel and Emily for dinner at Dos Caminos!! Yay!!! Both women are behind most, if not all, of the strongest urban sportswear sneakers I’ve been posting up for the past year or so! =) Such lovely and strong ladies, I’ll miss you!!!
Now the official day 1 of S.L.A.T.E. I didn’t take too many photos as I was swamped with appointments ALL DAY!! Holy moly I couldn’t believe how busy we were! It was fantastic =)
That was Reina, our women’s sales rep! hehehehe ooooh Ryan! And check out Jun on the right rocking the Blowing It tee from summer.
Nat (Ltd/Seed Gives Life), Catzie (215), et moi
To the left is Devin and Ryan - they JUST got back from an almost 2 year stint of travelling around the world… and I’m talking gnarly 3rd world travels too… check it out on their BLOG! And to the right we have Kris (Homeroom) and the lovely ladies of DimePiece =)
Dropping in November…
Ok folks, more to come as soon as I edit all the pics!!! I JUST got back home from a free Raphael Saadiq concert at the seaport - OMG - thank you Lauren and Tara for bringing me and thank you Lauren for letting me meet Raphael!!! ooooooh weeeeee!!!! I’m running on steam as I just flew in this morning, but that concert sure did make my day! Post of that to come soon!
I got two new colorways for the Aero-fit to leak out to you ladies! Giving it a more winterized look and feel, synthetic nubuck and bright color contrasts, these will definitely be the ones to look out for.
Dropping November.
Burgundy/Lime Green colorway:
Green/Aqua Green/Mandarin orange colorway:
*Another huge shout to Laurel for making me smile each time that box arrives =)
Pearlized with sequins, these Recognition Hi’s will break necks as ladies try to catch a glimpse of the sparkle that caught their eye below. Hot new fashion trend - trust!
As promised, here is the continuation of Nike Sportswear’s launch of the new 21 Mercer store…
Getting real tech son!
Todd conducting the interview or being interviewed?
Heather from Nike with her million dollar smile - I met her almost a year ago at DQM’s Claw blazer release - she has a GREAT memory =)
Look who’s inside! Dante and Iggy!
You already know who these people are =) - oooooh Wendy!
That’s Spencer on the right supporting and repping In4mation of course!
And then there was Mr. Sandy Bodecker, the man behing the Nike “SB”! He was sooooo kind to even converse with me while people were trying to take his photo! Have a great time in Brazil Sandy and I hope to run into you again!
Thanks for the tee Chico!!!
As I was leaving, there were STILL people trying to get in! So thanks again Demetria!!!
Dante and Mark
And then it was time to leave… And on the way out I caught Chris Vidal striking a pose =)
Nike Sportswear Digital team doesn’t stop working when the party is over… oh no they don’t!
Hands down, one of the best nights I’ve had in a while =) View more photos on Nitro:licious HERE as well as Mark’s blog HERE
And right now, I’m sitting in our gigantic Venetian suite in Las Vegas getting ready for the craziness of Magic. AH!!!
Alright, as I’m sure many of you have already seen on many blogs that the 21 Mercer NSW event last night was pretty craze. Having spent lord knows how much (actually I do know but won’t say lol), on the closure of the block, the buildout of the “arena,” and the guestlist of the some of the most elite atheletes and celebs, Nike overwhelmingly catered to the masses and only disappointed those who couldn’t make it into the actual store… womp womp wooooomp =(
Anywho - thanks to Mark Arcenal and Josh Porter, I was able to get some tix AND with the help of Suzette and Neil, I was able to skip the ginormous line forming!!!
Now I didn’t go in until the madness died down a bit… So it was time to catch more photo ops! =)
Tasha and Q-Tip
That’s Kyle hiding his face, he’s shy because he actually presented a clip for the event! And that’s TJ, I see him EVERYWHERE and randomly all the time! He’s one of my favs =)
John of Recon, always a pleasure sir | Bill Bellamy lol
Nicooooo (Staple Design) | Phil (KDU and now Nike)
Mr. and Mrs. Arcenal =) the coolest couple I know
Yours truly and Trudyyyyyy - we’re practically the same size! | Heron Preston - he too presented his special project at the event!
That’s Sky, he was our bodyguard and wannabe Kobiyashi (who was also there!!! But I didn’t see him booo)
Now I normally don’t get awe struck - ESPECIALLY with celebrities, I’m pretty ballsy, but as a bonafide sneaker junky, I could barely manage to ask this man for a photo… Hence the blurry effect (shakey hand) lol, I know I’m a nerd.
And then we have another few of my favorite people: Timmy McGurr (13th Witness) and Josh Porter (Nike). Timmy was another guest who presented his work for the evening. Actually you HAVE to watch his “The Five” clip. Amazing that he could do all of that with still photos!!!
One of the best parts of the evening: Ice cream in baseball helmet cups!!!!
The best looking ladies of the evening: Vashtie Kola (Violette), Solange Knowles, L (Violette)
Nike Sportswear team lol - good job guys!
Alright folks, you’ll have to excuse my abrupt halt to this post. It is now 11:10pm and I have a 6:45am flight to Vegas for Magic, sooooo I’ll have to post more later as I have a lot of packing and studying left to do! Sorry! But just to let you know, I finally did make it inside the shop thanks to Demetria’s help!!! Stay tuned for more photos!!!
**In the meantime you can also peep these sites for more photos of the evening: Nike Sportswear, Freshness, and Ray Mate’s of Mighty Healthy… Enjoy!
Sorry folks, unless you’re outside the US, you won’t be able to grab these Grecos dropping this Fall. Inspired by Mexican wrestling and its infamous Lucha Libre masks, this pair (another from the urban sportswear division) will make you want to pull a Gorilla press drop with a Warrior Splash on your man (yea, I know the Ultimate Warrior was not Mexican, but hey, he was my favorite growing up)!
And tonight is actually the grand opening of 21 Mercer, the new Nike Sportswear store. I was able to sneak a peek at the construction a few nights ago with Mark and there was already a line! At 10pm 2 nights before the opening! Anywho, it was pretty techy inside, you won’t be disappointed.
Thank you Mark and Josh for hooking me up once again for the tickets, but unfortunately I’ll be stuck at work until late (WTF!!!!). However, Mike (Alife) and I will be hauling ass to make sure we try to get things done and finished so we can try to haul our asses out to 21 Mercer before the event ends!!!!!
Ok, enough said about that, I’ll continue to stay focused and remain positive… FAWK!
