A.L.I.E.N skate team?

People have been asking will we be sponsoring a skate team. We are not saying yes but, we are also not saying no. We've recieved some applicants and all we can say is stay tuned for the official website. Shout out to Mirshaun for the crazy heel flip.

FAKE STA HOODIES!

It's crazy how many knock off bape apparel there is out there on e-bay. Well thanks to a few friends we've come up with some pointers on how to spot fake shark hoodies.

1. On the back of the shark hoodies there is a time line. The original real hoodies have the dates: 2000 - 1993 - 2005 stiched. Fakes have the dates: 2000 - 1995 - 2005.

2. The detail of the outline on the P.O.N.R has a nice thick yellow line around the letters on the real ones, where the fake ones have either a little line or just plain yellow stitching.

3. The overall quality of the hoody looks off. Sadly many people are fooled!

4. Hey, if the price is TOO good to be true, then MOST likely it's fake!

Hope these pointers helped out.

Thanks to Siah, Kothiria and our own Quan Luv for the info!
