This is for that dude Dale: the biggest Japanese Culture/Bike enthusiast I know. And even if you have no idea what a track bike is you’ll be entertained for at least 10mins by this. It’s “totally extreeeme!” (Read the HB comments section by clicking here to see how many people agree with me about that.)

Reblogged from Hypebeast and other streetwear outlets, James Jebbia, founder of Supreme NY recently granted Interview Magazine an interview. He touches perceptively on reselling, artist collaboration, the Japanese market, and the definitive emergence of the brand, quoted below.

“These companies had to sell to a wide range of people, and a lot of them were very young. When people think of skaters, they think of, like, the 12- or 13- or 14-year-old kid. But in New York, it was the 18-to-24-year-old hardcore kid who wasn’t wearing any skate stuff. They’d wear a hat or whatever, but they wouldn’t wear the clothing,because it would fit badly and was bad quality, and skaters want to look good and pick up girls. So we slowly started making our own stuff. It was a time when it was a lot easier to do that kind of thing. It was easier to make a sweatshirt in Brooklyn, or do these hats locally, because you could get nice things made fairly easily.”

After watching the video footage of Ewok and Pose’s latest production and noticing some glimpses of quality photography interspersed between the clips, I decided I would extract those shots and share them. The actual video is extremely well shot but seeing these two talented members of MSK at work in the form of still photos—allowing more time for the imagery to sink in—is possibly even more impressive.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but a lot of us L.A.F. peeps are down with graffiti and all of us are down with Obama so I have to share yet another already-posted-on-hypebeast gem with you here.

“BOSTON — A street artist famous for his red, white and blue “Hope” posters of President Obama has been arrested on warrants accusing him of tagging property with graffiti, police said Saturday.

Shepard Fairey was arrested Friday night on his way to the Institute of Contemporary Art for a kickoff event for his first solo exhibition, called “Supply and Demand.”

The other day as I was fishing around for my street tatsujin (translates to masters of the streets; my pick of someone with remarkable and original street fashion sense), I came across Ryo, a Londorer by the #6 exit of Xiemending MRT station. After a few casual greetings and exchange of stickers, I soon realized it would elapse to an unforgettable night.
