Hypebeast just dropped some pictures of Taylor Supply’s spring/summer collection for 2011, which is inspired by Vintage American workwear from the 1920-1950's. All their shit is Made in New York, using fabrics sourced from Japan. Yes please! I love a brand that shows mad detail and quality. Word up.
Vans Classic Slip-On got put onto some game right now. Dubbed the “Guata Stripe” because of its Mexican blanket design or in this case a Guatemalan blanket. Stand up Guats!
Tradition teamed up with New Era once again to produce their OG Crest logo on a fitted 59/50 model. It's the very first time they've used this logo on a fitted and I got to say, it was executed very well. The caps comes in two color-ways; I really like the simplicity of the classic black, white and charcoal grey, but if you're lookin' for that little extra flare you can cop the grey, black and fire red joint. I'd rock both of 'em on the daily switching hats every half hour, what you think? The hats are available today at both Tradition locations, so go get yourself one in each color-way alright. Alright then.
I kicked myself this morning when i found out yesterday was "Go Skateboarding Day!" Out of all the days to not bring my skateboard with me. None the less, shout outs to all those who went out and handled it. In honor of the day (although late) here are some parts from dope skate vids i grew up on. Stay posted for the "Skate Clips of the Week" to be showin up soon. That will be brought to you by the main man behind the lens, Jared Diamond. This dude has also been bringin you the SB Skatepark monthly montages. Watch out for them joints too!
It was a great Monday morning at the Lakers Parade. Heavy attendance. My fiance took some shots of the madness and most importantly all the Lakers fans that copped our tee. We straight up sold out in a New York minute on Figueroa! It was literally nuts. For real, I don't think we walked two blocks without sellin' out. We hands down had the dopest tee for sale at the parade. I think everybody down there agreed. Yo, I even sold a tee to a dude selling tees and my brother Ruben sold the stinky ass shirt off his back! Word. Here's just some of the Lakers fans we saw wearing the TLR&Co. "We Beat "Em" tee. Hundreds were pleased. I Fucking Love LA! I love the diversity and culture out here, its nuts.
Yo, so I told you this weekend was crazy busy. On Sunday after we wrapped up a great interview with newly opened streetwear shop Ceria in Ventura, then smashing out to both Tradition locations to drop off some tees, we amazingly ended up driving past Long Beach to this dope ass shop called The Deuce in Artesia. It was cool how it happened and I'll leave it at that. When we showed up, Shaan Malani, the owner of the joint and all around cool cat, was there to greet us and show us around his shop. I took some shots with the IPhone for ya'll to peep.
You can say we have had a busy weekend. After gettin' our tees printed we smashed over to Tradition to fill an order for 'em. Did I just say that? Hell yes, Its official, you can pick up our limited edition "We Beat 'Em" tee at both Tradition locations in Westlake and Ventura! I'm super Hyped. Shout out to Jason right now and everybody at Tradition. We here at LAMRKT.COM and TLR&Co. are very excited to see us in such a premier and well known boutique. Word.
Yo, How are you? I spent some of my Saturday with my hustlin' ass silk-screener, Arosha, gettin' busy on some Lakers inspired tees. TLR&Co. Foo! Anyway, I had him come in on his off day to bang 'em out with two of his workers. Good people. I got some pics off my iphone for ya'll.
French brand Hype Means Nothing has just released their Ali inspired tee that features the boxing legend recreating the iconic Ray Ban Wayfarers on his mug. Other celebrities they've put on blast include Homer Simpson, Diddy, Tupac, Kanye, and Lady Gaga. Expect the Ali tee to sell out fast, if they have'nt sold out already. Colette will let you know.
DQM hits us with their Summer 2010 hat collection. Here's a look at my pick. Once again the simplicity murders it.
I thought this was dope! Crooks went to out support the release of Drakes album "Thank Me Later" yesterday and documented them buying out Best Buy of all of his shit! Support goes a long way. CSTC!

Since the Lakers are so gangster and from LA and NWA was from LA, I thought this would be a good fit for em. Boston's square ass needs to know who they're dealing with. Real Mother Fucking Geez.
Since Boston whooped on us on Sunday, I thought I'd share at least one thing that is Celtics inspired. Fuckers. Good thing they're PF Flyers though. This is the Bob Cousy Hi in the Celtics colorway. BOO! They also come in all white and in black, shown below. The Archival Reissue collection from PF Flyers includes two other HI-top b-ball sneakers from back in the day, just in time for the basketball madness thats going on, so check their site or your local retailer. This will be my first and last post that says anything nice about the Celtics. Game 6, Lakers got it tonight.
“The Bob Cousy Hi was worn by basketball’s first superstar. The sneaker features gullwing closure™ and model specific markings and comes in a Celtics Green just in time for the NBA finals.”

Creative Director and founder of UNDRCRWN, Dustin Canalin, has teamed up with Upper Playground once again to release another batch of graphic tees. Last time around he used music and it's creators as the inspiration behind the simple graphics that were used. This is the second series of shirts he worked on, which consists of three different graphics tees, all hand drawn and super legit. I'm really diggin' the Slick Rick joint! You can cop 'em here.
Normally I wouldn't post about metallic lookin' kicks, just for the fact that they're wack, but the overall look and history used to create this drop deserves some credit. These are part of the Nike Fall 2010 Collection, so no release date yet. Hope CRSVR gets em in! I'd like to see em in person.
