Was down in NY to shoot for the MTexperience. Can’t reveal the happenings just yet, but here are some candids from the weekend. Big thanks to Marcus, Charles, IZ & Sarah Kim for a fun 2 days.

Oakley : Osheaga 2010

Vincent — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 17:14:03 +0000

This is my second year coming out to Osheaga courtesy of Oakley. Mark and his crew did an amazing job at making sure everyone’s having the best possible experience while running with the Oakley “VIP” badge. From an endless stock of Dagwoods & Bud to a free pair of Oakley sunglasses, every aspect was covered for their guests to enjoy the festivities. My job? take photos, document, drink beer and enjoy the music!

I got there on Sunday afternoon and was able to see Black Keys, Snoop, Metric, Sonic Youth & Weezer…not a bad lineup huh?

Big thanks to Mark @ Oakley. And, Shouts to Marcus, Justin & Maura for being great company.

Marcus Troy x Ronnie Fieg : Sebago Docksides

Vincent — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 15:19:54 +0000

I was commissioned by Marcus to take some official/unofficial shots of his latest collaborative efforts with Ronnie Fieg and Sebago. The Nexus Project is basically a strong roster of five influential bloggers brought together by RF; Jake Davis, Marcus Troy, Street Etiquette, William Yan, Greg Weinstein & Ronnie himself. After spending a week in the Dominican Republic at the Sebago HQ, the collective have each designed a pair of shoes and a pair of boots which are set to release this Summer 2010 and Fall 2010. Shot by myself, here is a first look at the Nexus Project. MT uses, as per usual, some pretty interesting materials…Buffalo leather upper with a first ever red brick sole from Sebago. Looks pretty nice next to the vintage Parker fountain pen and Armani shades from the 80′s.

PHOTOGRAPHY : Marcus Troy Bespoke Nike Air Force 1

While Nike is taking their ID program to another level in the customization game, other brands like RL and Timberland who stepped foot on this boat are still in primary stages of the process. Having a bespoken suit may not be considered a rarity nowadays but a pair of bespoken AF1′s are. At a hefty price tag of 800USD, it takes a true Nike head to invest some hard earned guap. Marcus asked me to do some product shots of his creation, and I was glad to do them. For more info about the kevlar and waterproof denim, migrate here.

oh and shouts to: onlycure, eaton, slash, ls6, sebas on hb.

Introduction: Oakley Elite Collection

Vincent — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:02:43 +0000

Mark had the courtesy of inviting the crew and I to a private first-hand viewing of Oakley`s bread and butter. ”A Pinnacle in Technology and Design” (the collections subtitle) might have slightly been an understatement as my eyes and hands were rooted by the ensemble of gems. As Mark explained, Oakley, much like car companies, have a need to push the envelope even though the revenue may not justify the cost of their prototypical projects. One prototype might inspire another. Look at it this way; here I am documenting this revolution in technologies for the e-world to see…so at the end of the day it’s marketing. And the final result…is probably very fructifying.

”Sometimes we do it just because we can.” may sound a little pretentious…but if I could, I probably would.

The main attraction of the night was a C-Six made of pure carbon fibre…a material that is thinner than human hair yet stronger than high tensile steel. Evidently, these aren’t made for the everyday cool guy looking for a pair of frogskins…they retail for an impressive sum of 4500$ CAD.

a suit…really?

Vincent — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:13:43 +0000

In a chitchat with Marcus, he asked me this question: What do you think you will be wearing in a year from now? The question was the beginning to a series of confusing thoughts in my head. I stood there baffled by that seemingly banal inquiry. “I have a feeling you’ll be wearing a suit or something…” he proceeded. Those words which first seemed foolish and humorous soon became not as farfetched as they resonated in my head for a few days. I found in the depths of a forgotten closet of my house, a pair of vintage brown leather oxford shoes (WITH a wooden sole). They were almost too beautiful to be unworn. However, the only manner to be wearing them would be completed with a nice light toned suit. I caught myself in the midst of searching for a suit on Jcrew and actually found 2 to perfectly assemble the outfit I had imagined…Marcus you know something on and beyond my own knowledge hahaha

nigo marcus troy kaws

Vincent — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 01:46:53 +0000

I know it’s a little late to report about the kaws exhibit in New York at the Gering & Lopez Gallery…as you’ve probably heard the news 12190374 times on every other existant blog out there. Well if you haven’t there you go. But my point here isn’t to overkill the news, it’s more about how I am jealous that blog specialist Marcus Troy got to meet Nigo at the gallery…I don’t know if it was coincidence but fuck I wish I could be in the same peice as Nigo (So i could laugh at how his life is based on an Air Force One with a star on it..and biting Erik Brunetti’s Ape logo.)…kidding, ok, to a certain extent that’s how you can resume it to. However, whether you like it or not, personally Bape isn’t really my thing, Nigo did change the whole game by bringing Japan to Mainstream North America…so big ups to Nigo…I guess
