The following is what happens when I get on the phone with DJ Clark Kent.

The Concepts Canada Goose vest has to be the design project I’m most proud of. To design not only the fabric and color usage but to actually modify and add onto a product like this one was an amazing experience.

When Clark and I were on the phone talking shoes (happens quite often) the conversation turned to my new vest then took a left turn to possibly using the same material as the vest on a pair of bespoke Air Force Ones. Possible to get extra material? How would it look?

Deon and I met Clark & Mayor at 21 Mercer and got to work. Each of us did something different with the same materials.

The material is called Arctic-Tech and it is a water proof shell developed by Canada Goose for use on their outerwear.

I’m digging the final product and am happy about how it went down!

Shouts to Clark, Mayor, Izzy & All Day.

Nike and Bodega partnered up to present the True Colors World Cup Collection in Boston. Great event and a great turn out.

Nike put together a very cool dinner party for their top retailers which included the incomparable and legendary DJ Premier providing the tunes. On a sad note, Premo was supposed to be joined by the late great DJ AM for this event and wore a tee shirt which featured a photo of them together in his honor.

It was amazing to finally see Premo doing his thing live and meeting him was a real highlight.

Great music, atmosphere and food (ok… the food was a little weird). Thanks Nike

Lebron 7 preview

As a part of Nike’s and Live Strong’s Tier O campaign, Nike has partnered with England’s Brooks Saddles to create some custom pieces to accompany each shoe drop. Concepts just received the first saddle (and wooden tool box) which is laser engraved with legendary Los Angeles artist Mister Cartoon’s “LA” icon. Toons’ Live Strong AF1 sold out across the country when it dropped this passed weekend.

More saddles to follow which include Futura and Busy P. We’ll keep you posted.
