Just was listening to some old things that made a huge influence in my life. This track is really important on how I feel how the music of hip hop is nowadays. Samples and cuts and others. Krs-One always did things proper with the statements and feeling.

A lot going on in my head in this heat in Las Vegas.

Next Monday Magic starts and just wanted to Thank Crooked, Neva and Jaz at Knyew for this great opportunity on their window real estate. For everyone who is attending Magic please go check out Knyew as they are proud supporters of Illest and In4mation. Here is a little gallery of the process on putting up these craziness of die cut vinyl stickers. I do admit it does take a ton of patience and much props to www.grafikimpact.com for getting this done so fast!!!

Go visit Knyew if you are in Las Vegas and you will not be disappointed.

Just got word that a new footwear company called Praxis is going to launch at Agenda.   The owners of this brand are really behind the cultures and I am very fortunate to have met them a while ago.  Footwear is always evolving and Long Beach is going to really feel like Long Beach once again.

Please visit www.praxisfootwear.com   The ad above with Karl Watson just says it all.

Just got the email newsletter from 5 and a Dime and their lookbook is so hilarious.  Below is a couple screenshots and take a look at the last shot as it really makes a statement.

Here is the link to the whole look book.

As I frequent these 2 sites on the normal…I just wanted to share this with everyone.

The Skate Nazi Site is done from a great friend Larry Warnken.  He does a really good documentation of the lives of everyone involved with SK8 Culture in Hawaii.  Larry is and will always be 100% Skateboarder.

The next site is done from my big brother in skateboarding Ryan Toyama.  Ryan took care of me growing up and would always be down to pick me up to let me see that there is other places to skate other then the town we grew up in.  I am ever so grateful till this day!

I do miss the guys and the more I am away from home I have learned that there is time lost that I should have spent doing things other then work.

Go peep:

Over and out!

Living in Las Vegas has its advantages as I can now go visit stores that I deal with and just say hello.  Nick Sakai and DJ Vice has opened up Crsvr in Santa Barbara I believe 3-4 Years ago and now have an extension in Las Vegas next to the Marquee Night Club in the Cosmopolitan Hotel and Casino.  Just took some flicks of the shop as its a truly amazing store!!!

The window space is a huge draw.  Sneakers, Apparel and the DJ Booth make people walk in as they are curious to see what this store is all about.

Shelves are stocked with new product from The Hundreds, Hall of Fame, Diamond Supply Co, Stussy and In4m.

The cut & sew fixture is full of apparel and caps from Nike, The Hundreds and Caps from Diamond Supply, The Hundreds and In4m.

Mitchell & Ness and Nike Tier 0!  Is snapbacks a popular item?

My last pic is the fixture of Stance Socks.  A fellow native to Hawaii is involved with this brand and much continued success to Mr. Kingman!  Once you try these socks you will want to throw your old socks away as the comfort is the key!

Thanks to Nick, Vice and Low!  I appreciate the hospitality every time I visit!
