Here are some words about the festival, via the festivals website : First held in 1978, this nationally known regional event showcases the international and cultural diversity and creativity that is the hallmark of Adams Morgan. This Festival celebrates the dynamism and innovation that arises from the melting pot of cultures and their interaction together. This regionally known DC Festival always produces consistently large attendance in the 25,000 range. The compact 4 block area allows different venues & locales advantageous to sponsors, vendors, and visitors, not to mention local residents.

Here @ Stussy DC we are celebrating by bringing you 2 of the finest DJs killing it today - DJ Excel & DJ StereoFaith. Excel is a recent LA transplant, from Philadelphia, and has been holding down parties across the world for the past 10 years. He is a founding member of the Skratch Makaniks crew and has been killing it in LA since he moved there 6 months ago. DJ StereoFaith is an East Coast staple, holding down monthly and weekly parties in DC, Philly, & NYC. Listen to an interview from StereoFaith here.

Please come join us @ Stussy DC as we celebrate Adams Morgan Day with good music, good food and great people!

We’ve set a release date of Saturday, September 5th (11AM) for our Omni Pump Lite’s. An online release will occur on Labor Day, September 7th. Already hailed as one of the “Best of 2009: Sneakers (thus far)” by Complex the Commonwealth X Reebok Omni Pump Lites’ are slated to drop VERY soon. Available in Pool Blue, Prism Violet and Phantom Black - these Pumps feature: padded mesh, felt, and patent leather uppers, an embroidered tonal “C’MON” hit on the heels, and custom graphic footbeds.

Commonwealth introduces an exemplary approach to their version of the Oakley Frogskin®.

The Commonwealth rendition features an original “Cmonflauge” pattern inspired by the look
of traditional tortoise shell. Using Oakley’s HIgh Definition Optics®,   the sunglasses
are equipped with your choice of Gold or Fire Iridium lenses.

In favor of having the product speak for itself, branding efforts were kept to minimum
with a tonal Oakley logo on the outside temple as well as Commonwealth’s “C’MON” ribbon
printed on the inside of the arm.

The Commonwealth & Oakley Frogskins® are sure to be a timeless classic that stands out
amidst the parade of novelty accessory. Made in the USA, with a production run of only
150 pairs, look for these to be available exclusively at Commonwealth stores and online
at Cmonwealth.com.

Look for an upcoming campaign featuring the Commonwealth & Oakley Frogskins on the faces
of Pusha T from the Clipse, Chad Hugo from N.E.R.D, Wale, Levi Maestro, and the staff
from Commonwealth.
