Nike Sportswear Match Classic

Earlier this year, Hiroshi Fujiwara and Jun Takahashi came out with an instant classic Nike model called the Match Classic. Now, a 2nd edition of those JP only release is going to be available in North America at select quickstrike accounts. Set to release sometime this holiday, Off The Hook in Montreal is one of the few Canadian retailers who will carry them. HF releases are pretty hard to come by in our part of the world so this is a undoubtedly a great release.

Latest Work

I’ve fallen deeply in love with the misuse of colors, the organized disorganization; but mostly, when all of this chaotic structure is applied to portraits with thick brush strokes like Lucian Freud’s work.This is a dirty old bum I did last week. I can’t seem to get my humans to look as realistic as I want yet. He still has a comical allure in his gaze…

RT @AlenaUniversal: Hunted Down.

Jeremy’s skate shop turned skateboard brand is making noise.. Considerably one of the most foreseeing minds I know, the sounds of Jeremy’s project have traveled overseas to Berlin where top tier online magazine BeingHunted has embraced Jeremy’s work by including Alena as part of their 2009 features placing it next to an impressive lineup of subjects: Stone Island Shadow / C.P. Company / Firmament / Stage’s Gallery in Paris. READ THE FULL FEATURE HERE

“I just hit up Matt W. (Stussy Tdot manager) for a favor. You’ll love me for this one. It will compensate for you working on my website. Make sure to quote this when you blog about it.”

Maura found a way to get me the full 11 issues of Huge…I just realize that the good folks at BNTL had already posted about the Paul Anthony issue in June…kinda bummed, but here is more from mine and yours-to-be favorite magazine. If I were to create a magazine, it would look pretty close to this. Thank you Maura for hooking this up. love ya for this one!!!

Old Gold vol. 2 (6 years in the making)

Found these dunk hi GR’s (not QS, not TZ) in the far end of my closet, and decided it was a good day to be wearing old nike dunk’s from 2003. These were my first pair of dunk’s and I think fashion has come full circle after 6 years. The soles were once white, the leather was once rigid and the stars used to be visible…fuck it, I’m calling these vintage from now on.
