Good Wood x The Butcher’s Block

You ever had a good idea? Probably not as good as this one.

My good friend Chris Lee from CtotheJL and Good Wood blessed the kid (literally…) with 3 exclusive laser engraved Jesus pieces. Now, I’ve had these for a few weeks but been hadn’t had the chance to post them— I’m usually faster than that!

Peep the ultra limited red joint— fire (not in a sacrilegious way obviously)…

Hit Good Wood and CtotheJL for the scoop on how you could be saved.

Thanks Chris!

If you’ve been keeping up with me, you may have realized I dabble in music. It’s my passion but unfortunately it’s lower than a few other things on my priority list. Hopefully that will change because music production is a total creative release and opportunities like this wake the sleeping beast inside.
Big shouts to Ro Spit (What? Don’t know? You will soon!), my man Curt@!n$, Big Sean of Good Music and my big homie Bun B (good looks my dude!!).

Ro Spit’s “The Oh Shit Project” is fire and will be released this Tuesday.

Special shout to my little bro Paul Mighty. If I produced it he was most likely there making sure I’m on point. Fam.

CONCEPTS ABINGTON EVENT

19 September 2009, 18.33 | Posted in Concepts, Friends, Music, Product, The Butcher Block | No comments »

Timberland partnered with Concepts on an event to launch their fall 09 Abington boot collection. Abington, which is Timberland’s original company name, is a top tier offering of classic styles with an emphasis on heritage and quality.

All of Abington’s campaign and look book imaginary is the work of the super talented 13th Witness. The event not only showcased great product but Concepts was converted into a gallery showcasing 13th’s original photography with Bobbito Garcia and Futura providing the music.

Fall 09 Abington boot collection available now at Concepts.

Big thanks to Brian Coleman for the commitment to getting this event right and everyone that made to time to come through.

Sneaker Freaker #16 has officially dropped!! One of the best issues yet with multiple covers including the limited “Skippy” cover showcasing the Sneaker Freaker x New Balance 580. This issue also highlights my Canadian fam Ransom’s Adidas project (no not one shoe, no not a retro in new colors… a line of original Ransom Adidas!) and the Concepts “Freedom Trail” New Balance project (more to come on that!). Oh yeah— Fuck you to who ever leaked the photos early.

Breakfast with Burn Rubber Rick

05 September 2009, 16.40 | Posted in Friends, The Butcher Block | No comments »

Before the first day of the Magic / Project / Capsule run in Vegas, I charged the ol’ battery with my good friend Rick Williams co-owner of the Burn Rubber Sneaker Boutique that runs the “Motor City”. I learned a few things that morning.

1. Rick knows what is “ill” and what is not “ill” the same way I know when Chedda is violently drunk (meaning ready to beat an innocent bystander’s face open in the club because he could of sworn he was eyeing him from the DJ booth. He was the DJ and was just trying to play records Chedd.)

2. He like grape jelly on his eggs.

3. As being a prescription eyeglass wearer myself on the constant hunt for the flyest frames, Rick was one step ahead of me with the Fragment designed Uniform Experiment frames. Fucking dope.

4. Detroit dudes don’t ever travel alone. Shouts to Ro Spit and the goons… “BA got caught with….?”

Side note: be careful when your in Pontiac, Michigan. Nuff said.

De La Soul: 20 Year Anniversay Tour

21 August 2009, 02.57 | Posted in Friends, Music, The Butcher Block | No comments »

The legendary De La Soul are on tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album “3ft High and Rising”. I had the pleasure of catching the show and hanging with the crew while they were at Showcase Live in Foxboro MA. Of course they killed it especially during the performance of “Rock Co Kane Flow”. Big shouts to my man Brian Coleman and Pos.
