Livestock — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 19:37:40 +0000

As you probably know, we have had a great relationship with the good people at Fortune Sound Club since the doors opened 2 years ago. So many amazing acts and performers have rolled through and graced the stage over the past year that FSC have put together a quick video of all the people who made the past year such a success. We are all looking forward to 2012!

Clae Footwear X Mighty Crown

Get a hardcopy of this cd for yourself when you pick up a pair of these limited edition anniversary Clae Mcqueen’s.

“Originating out of Yokohama, Japan in 1991, Mighty Crown has since become one of the premier reggae sound systems in the world, breaking boundaries and setting new standards for the genre.

It is only fitting that, to mark the celebration of their 20th anniversary, the world-renowned group approached CLAE to design a special edition shoe.

In addition to this special edition McQueen collaboration, We are honored to have Mighty Crown create a custom mix exclusively for CLAE’s Five By Five Series mixtape project. This custom soundscape serves as the inspiration for a visual art piece by our talented friend, the legendary graffiti artist turned abstract painter, West One.”
