ON & BEYOND

For some reason I don’t like putting my blackberry to sleep mode when I sleep…You never know when an important email or text message might come in. Once in a while I’ll get an email at 3am exactly, when I’m unlucky it’s a fucking promotional email from GoDaddy.com and when I am lucky, the title says Supreme. Why do I always get it at 3am, am I the only one??? Anyhow, the other night, can’t recall precisely which one it was, I get the Supreme & Nike SB email…(moment of reflection) Does it feel weird to anyone else? For some odd reason, as the words Nike SB and Supreme rolled through my half asleep eyes, it sounded a little passé to me. Don’t get me wrong, they definitely aren’t half as ugly as those 2007 and early 2008 Vans collaboration they came out with. It just felt as if James Jebbia received a check in the mail from Nike in order to salvage what’s left of this suffering Nike department’s reputation. Maybe I’m over thinking…

On to something interesting. Some of you already know that the next issue of Streetwear Today features an extensive interview with Mr. Nakamura. I somehow got a hold of the full interview in a PDF format, don’t ask me how. The magazine itself is pretty hard to come by, unless you are subscribed so write me an email and I’ll send it to you if I like you.
