What's Fresh

Flashback Friday

fez — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 14:00:23 +0000

With the Holiday season upon us I couldn’t help but to remember a not so long ago track with all that beautiful snow and winter romance. Let’s throw it back to when LL Cool J and Miss Lopez were looking as good as ever.

Also, note the Motorola v60…you know you love it.

Fresh Forward – N4E1

fez — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 22:31:29 +0000

Once in a while I might be so kind to throw out a lil somethin somethin. And today it’s the freshest clothing line I’ve seen since Orisue. I’m talking about Not For Everyone (N4E1). I was fortunate enough to meet some of the minds behind the line at a recent Stolen Riches / Reebok event and not only are these guys chill but their clothes are off the hook (pun intended). Even if you want to buy it odds are most of their retailers are sold out across the world (including karmaloop.com).

I’m going throw out some pics and you judge for yourself but remember to keep checkin in with Stolen Riches (downtown Toronto) as they usually get the gear first.

Keep doing your thing N4E1 and we’ll be on the look out for your next line.

you know i had to get this grey hoodie

Remember LA Gear?

fez — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 06:44:44 +0000

Well if you don’t then you my friend are not a child of the 90’s. It’s not just LA Gear, it’s the “Lights”. I saw this on sneakerfiles and I almost didn’t believe it.

It appears that LA Gear will be returning the lights this holiday season Dec 12th at 11:59pm to be exact via Sportie LA with 7 different colourways. I believe they will have only a limited number available. Here are some pics of the infamous shoes. To be honest I’m gonna pass as the originals will always have a place in my heart.

What’s going on people, what a beautiful Friday. Even more so because I picked up my exclusive Reebok x Stolen Riches Pumps yesterday at the Midnight release, not to mention tonight is the BIG Reebok 20th Anniversary Party in the Dot.

Looking forward to the legendary Pete Rock, unfortunately it’s an invite only event so if you haven’t been put on the list yet best of luck.

Make sure you check back soon as I’ll be throwing up some pics from the Midnight Release at Stolen Riches release party. In the mean time check out the dope site for the Reebok 20th anniversary to see all 20 collabs.

Alicia Keys New Video

She’s done it again, another smash hit with her newest song “Sleeping with a broken heart”. Not going to lie, it is touching that I’m the source of most of her love songs. Can’t wait for this CD to drop. Enjoy.

Retro Reebok Pump Release

fez — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:00:40 +0000

This is big!!!

If you’re like me and love the old school kicks your couldn’t afford back in the day, you’ll love these re-releases of the OG Reebok Pumps.

Well I have some good news for you, our friends over at Stolen Riches are having a Midnight release in Toronto on November 19th. Now it’s going to be a limited run so you need to get there quick. Word on the street is that if you’re looking to cop these you’re looking to drop around $300.

It gets better!!! Reebok has partnered up with 20 different Sneaker shops around the world to do collabs in celebration of the 20th anniversary release. Check out the ones Stolen Riches will be dropping.

My personal favourite is the collaboration with Collete out in Paris. But those will be next to impossible to cop, c’est la vie.
