California boutique Versus has released some incredible new designs for their Us Versus Them in-house line. Opting to put out a strong collection when the time is right rather than forcing designs out each season, I’ve always been impressed with the illustrative detail in each Us Versus Them design. Check out the tees below!
If the east coast vs. west coast debate ever comes to a tiebreaker, I’m pretty sure the number of incredible week long hardcore tours the east coast gets in comparison to the west coast will nudge us up over the top. Last night was a perfect example of just such a tour as Surroundings, I Rise, Meltdown, Wake Up Call, and the almighty Bane took the Ottobar stage as the perfect remedy to a serious case of the Mondays.
Alife opened up in Los Angeles a little over 8 months ago on Fairfax Ave. where other streetwear brands and skate brands all hold down there shops. They threw a big opening day party and have been on the grind since. During Spring most businesses have this sale called the Spring Cleaning Sale to get rid of past season merchandise at a great price.
A Bathing Ape is known for their over priced patent leather AF1 rip offs. But beyond that point this is one of my favorite brands of all time. Better known as BAPE, they’ve been in the game since 1993 and are still holding it down and only getting bigger as the years go by. As being of of the pioneers in this game they’ve collaborated with big names such as Kaws, DC comics, Marvel, Adidas, Casio G-Shock and New Era. This collab right here is with a company that everyone loves to do a collab with.
So about a few weeks ago, The Crooks & Castles family went to Japan. From what I heard they were just going for their yearly vacation to Japan. But from what your about to witness further in this discussion is something I would’ve never thought of. Crooks being one of the most biggest brands out here in the US clicked up with Japan’s very own Rock Smith.
I know I promised a more thorough review of Grand Theft Auto IV, and it would have come sooner but to be honest, I can’t stop playing the damn game. Before I go any further though, let me say that I’ve spent a total of less than two hours on the previous games in this series. The gimmicky arcade style always turned me off and I found the controls too wonky to play them at length. I like my games to have at least some semblance of a storyline that takes itself seriously, even if there aresome lighthearted moments peppered in. GTA IV finally achieves what I knew this franchise was capable of with a compelling, almost cinematic storyline.
