Wale was recently in our city, and we had the pleasure of having him come through our Gastown location. Check the pictures below of him rocking our new city tee and the de la soul dunks, which are BOTH available at our west 4th location. Peep the video snippet of his performance that night at Fortune Sound Club. Shout outs to both Dj Hedspin & Dj Marvel for warming the crowd up right, and Mark Gutknecht on the photo’s.

We all know VICE , an independent media company and Web site based in Brooklyn, New York. They have been running an interesting broadband television network VBS.TV since 2007, and within the three years that they have been around, they managed to intrigue the big dogs over at CNN, who were interested in their journalism techniques.

VBS.TV is overseen by creative director and renowned filmmaker Spike Jonze, along with Vice founders Shane Smith and Suroosh Alvi.

Since January 20, 2010, every wednesday a new episode from VBS.TV will be featured at www.cnn.com/vbs. This section of the site also will include behind-the-scenes essays, photo slideshows and archives of VBS.TV stories that have been featured previously on CNN.com.

What a week !

About a month ago I was down in LA hanging out with the guys from the hundreds. The topic of the olympics came up and I was asked if I had planned on going. I said no and really had no intentions in partaking with the up coming event. Thanks to NIKE I have avoided one of the biggest disservices I could have ever done to myself. Photos are taken from the big picture on the Boston Globe

Over the past 6 days I have been a tourist in my own city, one of the lucky people to be a NIke guest. I along with a few “key retailers” was hosted by the swoosh for the last six days of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. They put us up at the Loden hotel in Coal Harbour area of Vancouver. If you ever get the chance you should stay here the service and food was amazing.

My olympic adventure was a little skewed towards hockey. We saw 8 games in 5 days. I’d only been to two hockey games in the past and they did little to prepare me for the full force of Canadian hockey fans. The first day I saw team USA play and they seemed like they knew how to take care of some biz.

Team Canada’s loss to the US and a tie in one other game set us up to be knocked out by the gold medal favourites. The Russians.

who are lead by this guy…….. looks like he’s ready to take car of some shit. To bad for him team Canada handed them an embarrassing 7-3 win. After a 3-2 win over slovakia that set up the Canada Vs USA gold medal game and a jackpot for scalpers. As we were leaving the game there were dudes with signs “gold medal game tickets $4,000″, rumours had them going for as much as $20,000 a ticket for prime seats

Of all the things I watched it was coolest to see the ladies hockey team win gold. For sure the mens was insane but the ladies are all amateurs, and there is no level for women like the NHL. This is the highest level for them, was dope to see.

Overall the Olympics were amazing for Vancouver, for Canada and for myself. Again a huge thank you to nike for the love.

Alife Kicks and Apparel

Livestock — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 22:32:26 +0000

The ALIFE Spring & Summer 2010 has arrived. As expected we see some quality footwear consisting of a Kennedy High which has been toned down a bit using leather instead of suede and a hard sole instead of a crepe sole. Other models include the Public Naval which is completely laceless, a Chuck toe which resembles a desert boot with a toe cap, the Shelltoe Hey which will definitely add flair to any outfit and the Everybody Low canvas which is super clean and available in two colors. On the apparel side of things ALIFE keeps it simple with a long sleeve logo BUTTON UP and six short sleeve tees including the highly talked about Antique A graphic.
