A behind the scenes video was also released and it dives into the inspiration behind the project. You can check the video out here.

Soulscape made his way to LA from Korea yesterday afternoon and I had a brief moment to hang with him…. For those of you whom are unfamiliar with his work, don’t be startled. He is unknown to many in the Americas, but is making a name for himself at very rapid pace. Soulscape, who is also a director and producer, will be making his west coast DJ debut on Saturday. He will be providing the sounds for Michael Dupouy’s All Gone book release party at Stüssy LA. He and his 360 Sounds crew are making a lot of noise lately, and now he is getting a chance to showcase his talents abroad. We had a chance to rap about everything from fashion to music to travel and it was interesting to see his take on things. His sets normally consist of rare Korean breaks and grooves, this will be something that you won’t want to miss. If you are in LA this weekend be sure to check out the Stüssy +Clae +All Gone release event.

Every once in a while, a pleasant surprise comes along… Today, that pleasant surprise happened to be a pair of Pointer A.J.S. kicks. The A.J.S. is the newest silhouette from Pointer and a nice addition to the existing Pointer lineup. This company has been on my radar for some time now, but this is my first pair. They feature a high grade of leather, with contrast stitching, a low profile sole, and are very comfortable. These should be popping up in Pointer retailers within the upcoming weeks, so keep an eye out!

Today was filled with excitement, and the main reason why is because of these Oakley Jawbones that I received. Nick J. from Oakley came into the shop and hand delivered them, reminiscent of the Pony Express days. For those that don’t know, I’ve been an avid cyclist for a few years and try to ride as much as possible. I hadn’t found the right frame to wear while riding until now. The Jawbones are extremely comfortable and easily the most functional of any sunglasses that I have ever owned. These are available now via Oakley retailers and Oakley’s online shop.

NIXON brings us the newest installment of their Fluro Rubber Player collection, this time it will have more of a meaning behind it. The reason being is that October is internationally recognized as the official month for Breast Cancer Awareness. A portion of the proceeds will benefit B4BC, a non-profit organization focused on Breast Cancer Awareness. The watch will have the same 3-hand Japanese quartz movement, as well as a diamond at the 6 o’clock position. It released at Nixon Dealers and the Nixon online shop today, October 15th.
