The Circus.

Brooklyn Circus. Japantown sf. Located in the grimey filmore district is a shop named brooklyn circus. The varsity/collegiate look is pretty big these days, but that doesn’t mean Polo’s Rugby store has to monopolize the game. Which has a fresh inventory of brands and an interior decor that will remind you of an old-school barbershop. The store is great, but what’s really catching our eye is BKc’s just-launched debut collection, featuring preppy and refined pieces with a bit more edge than those from stodgier brands.

Attention to detail.

DJ Primo. One of the hardest working Producers/DJ's in the game just recently launched a collabo with one of the dopest shoe companies in the game.. Nike. Making up 50 percent of Gang Starr, DJ Premier is amongst the biggest of names in East Coast hip-hop, having worked alongside many legends, including Notorious B.I.G., Grand Master Flash, Jay-Z, plus a whole load more. Premier’s latest escapades see him collaborate with Nike on this subtle Air Force 1 colourway. Orange lacing, tongue tag, contrast stitching and insole sits quietly alongside a white swoosh and all-black-everything-else. With subtle detailing near the heel and toebox and ‘Premier’ on the lace-jewell; the more you inspect this shoe, the more you find. With matching material for the top of the heel and side panels, the sneaker has all the markings of a successful collaboration which should appeal beyond the hip-hop scene.

The truth. Exposed.

Mobile pop-up shop. Parra x Stones throw set the bar with this moving retail establishment. Tired of waiting in line, long hours to find no sizes left, look no further. Forgoing the usual brick & mortar style retail space, they outfitted an old ice cream truck which made its way around local venues across the Los Angeles area including UNDFTD (Silverlake), HVW8 Gallery (Melrose), Archrival (Little Tokyo), Intelligentsia Coffee (Venice), Amoeba (Hollywood), and Turntable Lab (Fairfax).

Originality is unparalleled.

Fitted Hawaii. The Fitted camp never seem to amaze us with its drastic approach in releasing timeless products. Fitted Hawaii put together a t-shirt and a New Era cap to mark the occasion. The t-shirt, dubbed Culture, is printed on charcoal heather gray with a collage of vintage Hawaiian tattoo patterns, which defines the cultural aspect of the name. Along with the tee is a “Kakau” New Era cap, with the name translating to tattoo, featuring an all over pattern in black nylon with yellow highlights on the band.
