My buddy Chris Josol has been a long time advocate of what I've been doing for the last few years. He's been telling me about the brand he works with, Ludwig for a while. Recently he invited me out to see what he and the Ludwig crew had going on over at thier launch event over at Fred Segal Santa Monica, anyway I felt that I was due for a brief break and finally left my cave. I really dug the garments that they had a pretty funny store installation. I saw alot of old friends lurking about, and some pretty sweet kid sized nike cortez's, kinda made me wanna go home and make myself a little cholo. One thing I totally forgot, was there was a basketball game that evening, and from that I learned two things, one what a hipster sports bar would look like, and two, its still not cool to make Kobe Bryant jokes in public... Especially in L.A.

One of the cool things about this job, is that you get to see everything a LONG time before it gets to come out. I've know about Triumvir's new kick with Nike for some time, but had to keep it to myself. Even my guys in my own camp didn't know about it, but now that they cat's out of the bag I'm happy that everyone is as excited about this as I am. I have to admit that actually a bigger fan of blazers, but hey who am I to complain. This was the first shot that I did of this kick, and hopefully if all goes well, nike and myself will be going places!
