Mishka Spring

2006-03-20T09:00:00.000-08:00

Quan Luv and I both agrre that Mishka, a very nice up and coming company, is run by cool people. So we decided to show some love to them. They just gave out some info on a new tee that will be released before any of their other stuff, dubbed the "He's A Whore" tee.

Here's the info that you need to know in order to buy the shirt:

Miska says:

How Crass of us, huh? Oh wait, we already did that... Anyway, we manage to make things difficult for ourselves every season. Last year it was the Beastee, and this time it's this! We're a printer's worst nightmare, and your vulgar dream come true. We've heard your whispers and gotten the emails. Some of you have probably even seen Greg about town, proudly showing our affinity for...well...fucking. Since so many of you have asked, we've decided to lift the curtain on this gem a little earlier than the rest of our The Kids are Alright Spring '06 line. Why? Well, because this badboy is such a pain in the ass to produce, we wanted to make sure those who wanted it had a chance to get it, because it's going to be gone quick...trust us.

So we proudly present our He's a Whore T-shirt which will be available in Charcoal (click the image to enlarge) and Lime Green. It's a discharge all-over print, with a front and back plastisol print on top of that!

We're going to be taking pre-orders on it for one week. So if you're interested, simply Paypal $40 (domestic), $46 (International) to sales@mishkanyc.com with He's a Whore Pre-order in the subject line. Please specify the size and color you'd like and be sure to include your address. You can expect to receive the shirt between April 15th and 30th.

Give Your Support!

These type of companies (like A.L.I.E.N) will drive the industry in the future!

Akir's Release Party

2006-03-15T16:19:00.000-08:00

Last week was Akir's album release party for Legacy. Some of you may know Akir from Immortal Technique's album Revolutionary Volume Two, for the "One" Remix track. A lot of people came out to support and perform. Majesty kicked off the show, followed by Diabolic, Hasan Salaam, Poison Pen, then the one and only Killah Priest of the Wu Tang Clan. After Killah Priest, Akir did a lot of joints from the album. The album itself is crazy, my picks are "Tropical Fantasy" with Jean Grae, and "Legacy" with Veks One and Mas-D. The release party was a beautiful thing, its refreshing to know artists are still upholding the culture. After Akir performed, Tech dropped some shit. Overall it was a successful release party, and had a mad good time!

Peace,

SOHO chill day

2006-03-05T21:22:00.000-08:00

Last night the crew rolled to the Mass Appeal party. Photos and blog will be up soon. Today, official chill day in Soho. Quan Luv, Rick Star, Dre, Johnny and I went skating around and just met up with some people. Met a cool ass dude from Japan, he was sick with the skateboard. Shouts to you wherever you are. Waitin for Lacole outside of Supreme we met this photographer, he was takin mad shots of them skating. Went down to Aron's shop, chilled there for a while and met up with Natalie from Brown Babies LA. Got somethin to eat in Chinatown, then bounced early for the night.

Peace, Eyeris

Fashion show part deux?

2006-03-04T06:24:00.000-08:00

BACKKKK in the day, before anyone knew what A.L.I.E.N was, Quan Luv was selling t-shirts to St. Johns students to make ends meet. He was invited to showcase some of his pieces at their fashion show that was sponsored by Complex Magazine. The crowd went wild for this new hip style that these wierdos introduced and this year team A.L.I.E.N has been invited once again to show their Spring/Summer '06 pieces at St. Johns Universities fashion show. The show will be in april and A.L.I.EN the crew will be there for full coverage.

The Auto Bio

2006-03-02T08:36:00.000-08:00

Like I said in the previous post, i'm going to let you guys get into my brain. How I feel about anything and EVERYTHING. From Street Fashion and how it's getting so crazy because of the internet, theREAL A.L.I.E.N members, the STRUGGLE and BS I had to go through and the endless nights of hand making A.L.I.E.N products because that's all I could afford.

Gallery Update

2006-03-02T08:18:00.000-08:00

Expect to see a LOT very soon. I'm preparing to introduce about 4 new sections onto The Galaxy Riders site. I finally did some updating on the gallery section of the site: http://www.thegalaxyriders.com/gallery.html (not really but I needed to get these damn pics off my pc)

A friend of mine asked me, "Yo Q, how do you feel knowing that you started a trend that is become very main stream?" I told him, "I don't like saying that i'm the ONLY one who started this style. Yes, I helped start this movement but my inspiration comes from a lot of different places. I want to give a shout out to the underground crews...." There's a lot more to this conversation and it will be up soon. Sometime next week. I'm going to let you guys get into the brain of an A.L.I.E.N.

A.L.I.EN will have a LOT of goodies for you guys REAL soon. We've linked up with some fly people who will be helping out and sometime next week i'll FINALLY give you guys a preview of the spring/summer '06 A.L.I.E.N wear. I really want to show you guys what's coming out soon but still have to finish up on some things. But I can leave you with this question that will finally be answered on the site....

Thanks to the consumers!!

2006-02-26T19:40:00.000-08:00

First of all I want to Thank the consumers for showing love to the line! everything is coming along pretty well and the people are really supporting it! Here's one of the consumer that really showed love and support and bought 2 out of the 10 hoodies that were made..!! and I spoke to him, he was actually the first person to pick up the cheetah print and he said that the ladies from the store asked him " are people really getting crazy over the hoodies..?... bcuz I've been getting phone calls from people from out of state..!" so that news was pretty ill but kind of ironic because we didnt expect that people would actually call up for reservations..!! Now the first release was dope and hoping that the outcome of the second release is as good as the first one or even better.

more info coming soon..

The Clues to the Treasure

2006-02-24T05:19:00.000-08:00

The first location will carry the Cheetah print and the second will carry the Zebra. Today is the day.

A.L.I.E.N Released!

2006-02-23T18:18:00.000-08:00

Finally the day has come! Tonight i'm here to let everyone know that the first series of A.L.I.E.N hoodies are now available in NYC. I'm not going to say exactly where but i'll give a couple of simple clues to help find these locations. Before I get into that though, i would like to discuss why I chose to release the Jungle Pack as our first set of apparel to introduce the brand. I chose the Jungle pack because i wanted to let everyone know that we are not just a temporary t-shirt brand. A.L.I.E.N is not just a phase of the the '05/06 but that we're here to stay. THE SHIP HAS LANDED. I designed only 10 of these unique hoodies to be sold , 5 of which are lined with cheetah fabric and the other 5 zebra. These are very special and unique to me because they are not hoodies that i ordered online and stamped my brand name on them. I sat down and help create almost every aspect of the hoodies. From sewing to every small detail on there. When I first thought of A.L.I.E.N, I wanted to create a brand for individuals, the risk takers. People who knew that they were different and didn't care what people said or thought. They wear what makes THEM feel good instead of simply trying to impress the masses. You may say I purposely waited this long to get feedback and to see where everyone's head was at. We wanted to see if the hype would die down and who actually stayed loyal to the movement. Did they really like what i was attempting to do? or were they just following the hype? I was beyond happy when i recieved both positive and negative feedback. Now it sets an even bigger challenge for the consumers; you've heard the positive and negative feedback, now are you brave enough to wear what YOU like? People always ask what I call my style. At first I didn't know what to say because i honestly couldn't classify it. The way i dress is inspired by many different cultures and eras: Old school hip hop, punk, skater to my own mix and blend of style. It's always evolving. The style itself is unidentifiable... Alien- like you could say(pun intended). Well anyways, they are finally out! These hoodies are very meaningful to me. Like i told my friends, a piece of me are in all these hoodies. Later on maybe around 10...11 or maybe midnight i'll reveal the clues. And to the 10 lucky people who purchase the first release, I not only want to thank you but to assure you that you're recieving a one of a kind piece.

Off topic but needed...

2006-02-23T09:26:00.000-08:00

I'll be posting some very important news tonight. Very important....

Off Topic
Does anyone out there know anyone who is interested in working on a 2d platform game? Mario adv. type game. A friend of mine asked me to do the favor of asking around. If you or anyone you know is into designing video games online, contact us a.s.a.p @ info@thegalaxyriders.com
If you have samples, screen shots or drawings of you work, that would be great too.

To top off todays post, I recieved news that some dude could'nt wait for the release of A.L.I.E.N and ended up making his own A.L.I.E.N hoody lol. At first I was a lil upset because I wasn't sure if this dude was going around claiming it was real and trying to pop them off on e-bay but then someone else said they saw him in soho and he admitted that he made the hoody himself. Hey, if you're reading this now and you're the dude who made the hoody PLEASE e-mail me A.S.A.P @ info@thegalaxyriders.com I promise you i'm not mad @ all. I actually want to tell you something for supporting the crew.

Peace out everyone.... more updates to come soon

R.I.P HAROLD HUNTER

2006-02-18T09:32:00.000-08:00

This is some CRAZY ass SHIT. I can't believe Harold is gone man. Yesterday I was @ the aNYthing store talking with Aaron when he recieved a phone call saying a friend just passed away. At the time I didn't know who it was and didn't want to ask but I can tell it was someone close to him. When I got home I was informed that it was Harold Hunter, one of the GREATEST BLACK skaters who ever lived, straight out of NY. This is some crazy shit right here. I JUST chilled with the dude a couple of days ago @ a party.
Big shout out to EVERYONE who was close and inspired by Harold. The dude was a VERY Cool man and ALWAYS looked out. My close friend was truely hurt when she heard this. This is crazy man...... I don't even know what to say......

Respects to HH's whole family, aNYthing and the zoo york team

Q

"Sir King Grillz"

2006-02-17T19:50:00.000-08:00

Q's busy working on new shit, but for the meanwhile this is the new
"Sir King Grilz" hoody.

Yea Yea... I know

2006-02-16T07:09:00.000-08:00

Yea I know, i'm slack'n on the posting but i've been crazy busy with stuff.. not only that but my pc is down until next week but trust me, there is a lot come'n thru. Next week I'll have a lot more to post including pics of the NEW King Grillz hoody set to release the same time as the Jungle Pack... I know you're like.. WTF MAN... When the kcuf is this shit gona drop? Trust me, it's going to come thru... just been busy with other sh*t as well.

But yo... before I sign off you guys GOTTA read this topic on the galaxy riders on NikeTalk.com .. these people are FUNNY. The guy who started this post might want to get the full info on the line before he makes assumptions

1. He thinks the line is a "rip" off bbc/bape... oh for real? because you've seen the collection section that's up right? or perhaps it's because of the ape on the back of the hoodie- but if homie looked at the small fonts he would know that we are in no way trying to ride bapes coattails instead we are stating that we are a force to be reckoned with, hence the title"king of all beasts".

2. I don't really have time to write right now but I think this is a nice time to give you a brief meaning of the term "Galaxy Riders" A.L.I.E.N the crew a.k.a The Galaxy Riders are a made up of a bunch of street fashion foward kids who aren't "trying" to look differently or dress differently but shouldn't be faulted if they do. They claim we do what we do because we want attention ,now for those who DON'T know about our visions and our lifestyle, they automatically assume this is a Bape/BBC style created by pharrell a.k.a mr. skateboard P.. let's get the fuck serious. Don't get me wrong, Pharrell is a cool dude but the admiration starts and ends with his music NOTHING else. This ties into the whole me being black and automatically assuming I have to be "thuggish". But honestly, i'm loving the hate, hate = publicity, it also proves that i'm doing something right if they actually made a whole 6 pages about my team ;-)

3. This was the funniest comment on the post, "The Line is Made for Gay people" .... what???? This again proves that these dudes know nothing about the lifestyle or us for that matter. So you see a dude rock'n fitted clothing so he MUST be making clothing for gay people or he must be gay himself... uhh... no. I'm no where near gay but I do have friends who are...problem????

Anyways, I guess people will understand who we are a little bit more when the collection section is up. There is a theme/story behind the whole line. Either you GET IT or YOU DON'T. If you DON'T then keep it moving. Brands don't make clothing for EVERYONE to enjoy, they market a certain type of group. A LEGION IN EVERY NATION a.k.a A.L.I.E.N are for those who are TIRED of people like this guy who is unable to appreciate creativity and individuality. Thanks for all your opinions people but they were not warranted stick to your style B, cuz you'll never understand ours.And know you facts before you start criticizing individuals, we are not out to "make money" we are out to make a statement!

THEY ARE HERE!

2006-02-08T12:50:00.000-08:00

Yes the new hoodies are here finally in. The previous photos were the samples and this is a picture of a finished piece. We also have another hoody drop'n too. It's a hoody I'd like to call, Sir King Grillz... i'll have pics up soon. Now the question is... are they really dropping this weekend???? I'll let you know by friday. Much love fellow Galaxy Riderz...

I found them!

2006-02-08T12:38:00.000-08:00

The other day I was getting ready to head out to the city but wasn't really feeling my out fit. I was like... some'n is missing. Then I was like.. F* it who cares... then I stumbled across an old AJ Retro box and was like... oo ooo what do we have hear? It was my low top Air Jordan 8's. I bought them in highschool because I was a BIG FAN of the HIGH TOP eights. I had my clientele t-shirt on that was based on the Jordan print that was inside the kicks. Not really news but I thought why not show it to my peoples who check my blog... hhhm.... I think I should use this pic for myspace... but then again, watch it end up on that posers page. BAND THAT DUDE!!!

Is Hip Hop Killing us?

2006-02-08T12:26:00.000-08:00

This is a little continuation from my previous post on black history. I love all types of music esspecially old school Hip Hop. Not too much of a big fan of hardcore rap but there are a lot of Hardcore MC's i'm liking but are the lyrics in these songs being takeng to serious in the urban youth community? I honestly think that SOME of the kids who listen to hip hop want to live the "Thug Life" and is why they end up doing what they doing. I say that because, i'm not gona lie.. back in my early higschool days I used to roll with gangs and thought it was the best way to live. I finally smarted up and realized it's not the way to go... but that's just my opinion. Luckly I got a hold of my boy Steve-o (same name in the game) from Laced Magazine to ask him a couple of question about today's hip hop.

1) Do you think Hip Hop/Hardcore rap has a lot to do with why there
are so many black on black crimes?

ANS) I think it's part of the problem, but i also think that music as a whole has an affect on crime. A white person can listen to maralyn manson and shoot a school up the same way a black person can listen to 2pac and shoot a block up. it's all about how the music affects you.

2) Do you believe that black people as a whole will ever get a long?

ANS) We are like crabs in a barrel. eveytime one is trying to make it out, the crabs below pull us back in. its like we dont want to see eachother rise. but how are we gonna make it if we cant help each other. alot of people dont realize that until its over.

3) Why is it that other races can listen to rap, be part of the whole
hip hop culture but will not be influenced by the words to actually go
out and shoot another person?

ANS) We are influenced by it too, it just doesnt get reported. The news only wants you to see certain things. if a white person listens to 50 cent and decides to shoot someone. he screams 50's music made me do it. its more news worthy. all the media cares about is Sensationalism.

4) Do you think it's ok for other races to use the N* word? Why or Why
not?

ANS) its not ok, but at the end of the day, people are going to use it regardless. We made it cool to say nigga. we turned something that was negative into a positive. i feel like blacks are as racist as whites. we stereotype other races just as much as they do it to us. 2 wrongs don't make a right.

Thanx again Steve, I agree with some of the stuff he's saying but what are your opinions? Hit up www.thegalaxyriders.com/forum to post your views. And thanx to everyone who hit up the forums and spoke their minds.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH?

2006-02-06T08:50:00.000-08:00

Man OH MAN did we have a great discussion last night. I usually don't discuss the issue of race to the public because it's a very touchy subject, very controversial but with February being the official "Black History Month" I was like what not discuss a few topics about the black community. Especially after an argument I had with a friend last night.
A good friend of mine who is black, said that she "doesn't see black people getting anywhere anytime soon, it's like we are still slaves" then she continues on saying that only white and Hispanic people get the better jobs. You know your boy Q had to step up and shut her DOWN.
Now this is all my opinion, you may think different but this is what I feel is wrong with the “black” community. I feel there is NO type of unity. In my opinion there are two different type of black people, the ones who go out and become successful and the ones who still blame “the man” for living the life they live. My friend goes on saying that there are not that many successful black people in the world and if they are, they are not giving back to their community. I was like alright.. so what about Oprah? Bill Cosby? Michael Jordan? Are they not successful and black? She says yea but they all cater to white people and don’t give back to their community, they should give an example by giving some money back” At this point I’m getting beyond mad and say “It’s because of people like you why we won’t move anywhere, How in the hell are Oprah & Bill catering to white people? Because they speak proper English? Write great books? Dress properly? Then you have the nerve to say they are not setting an example by not giving back to the community? Actually not only have they donated tons of money but they are setting the biggest example they can, they are saying that YOU TOO can be successful. It does not matter what race you are. Bill Cosby doesn’t owe SHIT to you, why the hell should he give his hard earned money to lazy ass kids who drop out of school to gang bang all day and night?
At this point everyone in the room is getting emotional and she goes on an explains her life by saying that her mother is a very smart woman with an associates degree and knows more work than everyone at her job and has been working there for 10 years but they have not offered her a better position. Then a “white” lady who is new to the job comes in with a bachelors degree and has not been working in the field for long at all gets a better position than her mother.
I’m like, it’s NOT because she’s white she got the better position. I told her she needed to look at it from a business point of view. Two applicants come in to apply to work for your business. One of them has a high school degree but has 5 years work experience in your field so you assume they know their stuff but the other applicant is fresh out of college with a college degree saying that they have a degree in your business field. Who would you hire? She pauses for a while and then says “the one with the 5 years experience” knowing damn well she’s lying out her ass. I kept it real with her and told her how my mother came here with NOTHING at the age of 18 not knowing a WORD of English. She worked her ass off living in a strangers apartment because that’s all she can afford and now not only does she TEACH English she makes more money than my step pops.
The problem with some black people is that they blame everyone else but themselves. I agree that there is A WHOLE LOT of racism still going on, I got through it all the time but don’t say that black people are not successful because they can’t get good jobs and because the rich black people are not giving back to their community. How about you work your ass off just like they did to get to where they are. If it takes just a simple piece of paper to make them big bucks then why not work your ass off to get it? Don’t sit back and expect someone to hand it to you on a golden platter. Man I have a lot more to say but stay tuned till next topic. I’ll be discussing Hip Hop Influences in the urban community. Are the words in the lyrics in today’s Hip Hop music affecting the way our urban youth react? In my opinion yes but let’s wait till next time. Much love to ALL my beautiful races. At the end of the day we are all people, all eat, drink and shit out the same whole.

MYSPACE FAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-02-04T21:52:00.000-08:00

Last night I recieved a message from someone saying that someone has stolen my pics and is trying to act like me? Is it that serious? I never understood why someone would steal someone elses page and try to be that other person. Why would you stoop so low? Everyone is special and different in their own way, don't try and be someone who you're obviously not because it's NOT COOL. I'm pretty upset with this person. Not only that, it seems as if he has a girl who is in on it too. She left a comment asking "hey where did you get that t-shirt, oh yea i bought it" umm.... A.L.I.E.N has'nt been released in stores yet shorty. They must have a lot of time on their hand to go around posing as other people. Here's the LINK to this losers page. Please feel free to send him/her a note to let them know they seriously need to get a life.

On other news, a couple of night my boy John and I headed over to St. Johns University's campus for some late night shred'n. The camera died so we could'nt take any flicks but a few of us are going skate'n again in a few days.

And shout out to Rick'da'Star for this fly pic of him in the A-gear. Yea he's down with the crew too.

BAPE ONE ANNIVERSARY

2006-01-26T14:17:00.000-08:00

Last night the team and I were invited to the 1 year anniversary of the Busy Workshop Store in soho. The party took place at club Marquee in NYC. We got into the party just fine (no wait in line ;-)) and there was open bar!! Not only did we celebrate for bape but we celebrated for my boy fresh who is leaving NYC to move to Cali. Big shout out to Fresh and make sure you hold down the A-Squad out in Cali. Visit the Lifestyle section to view the pics from last night.

Photos with Castro

2006-01-21T08:38:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was indeed a good day. From venturing out to the anything store to chillin on the lower east side devouring whoppers it was a day that was made increasingly pleasant due to the great weather. I mean 60 degrees in January? It doesn't get any better. Our day eventually led us to a photoshoot with Castro, it was the true epitome of guerilla photography. The vibe was beyond cool with the cast of talent including designers,artists,writers,photographers and even a comedian!big up to Vlad (steve's long lost cousin) and one wicked chick who did it all...shout out to marijuana. After this impromptu party Steve,Marijuana John and I headed out to Rivington street to Barron from Kid Robot's b-day party. The vibe was cool and the music was wicked and all was well as the drinks continuously flowed!

Corperate Fashion stealing Indie brand designs!

2006-01-19T05:34:00.000-08:00

See... this is the type of sh*t I don't like. Big companies trying to rip design ideas from small indie brands. It shows how much these b*tch ass designers they hire have no fashion sense or creativity of their own. I just had to put this up because this has happened to me too (Mutha F*ck'n Disney Vintage and another brand). But like I said on my myspace page, the true artists are the Unknown artist. We draw, design, create our asses off and then the big corerate brands steal our creations and use it at their own. But it's all good though because that's all they are good at, STEALING, they can't come up with their own exclusive design. So us unknown artist will rise and come up with something 10 times better from the last.

Anyways, the original design is from an indie brand by the name of Johnny Cupcakes. This dude has some serious stuff man, much love to his team and I know their not sweat'n it because the re-make is pure garbage compared to the original.

Thanks to Bobby Hundreds for the heads up on this article.

Official Site up!

2006-01-19T05:20:00.000-08:00

Yes FINALLY the site is up. Yes we know the collection section does not work. I'm not ready to show the pieces just yet but I promise you they will be up VERY soon. Sooner than you think. I just want to thank everyone who's part of the A.L.I.E.N nation, from NY to the durty south. All my galaxy riders from soho to harlem. We've been getting serious love since day one and we are growing bigger and bigger by the day. A.L.I.E.N is going to be on some Wu-Tang clan sh*t just watch.

There is A LOT more coming for the site, more photos, more street fashion, up and coming events and more free shi*t. I want to expose the world to the A.L.I.E.N lifestyle and how we get down. A.L.I.E.N is a crew, a way of life before a clothing line. The OG crew started out with just Three members, two designers/stylists named Q-Luv and Tigga, and a fashion foward dude named Kyle. Now we're it's time to take over the world because we are tired of people bite'n our style and act'n like they started sh*t.

Much love and respect to all

PROJECT NYC

2006-01-17T22:28:00.000-08:00

The crew and I swung by project NYC and it was bigger and better this year. Nice giftbags, hand made t-shirts and lots of hot up and coming brands. What made my day was when I walked in and saw a big poster of my team. I'm really thinking about heading over to las vegas for Magic... we'll see how that goes. As far as A.L.I.E.N we couldn't hold it in anymore. We just had to give you guys a preview of what's launching in a couple of weeks. The first set of hoodies that will drop are the King of Beast hoodies and the very very VERY limited Jungle Pack hoodies. Two lucky stores in soho NY will be caring the brand. Stay tuned for more updates!!!

For some of you that don't know, other than being an artist/fashion designer, Quan Luv is a street dance choreographer. The reason why everything has been taking a little long to drop was because I was working on Stain'ed Civilization, A DVD for Model Tanya Dormeville, and A.L.I.E.N But now the DVD is finally finished and the Stain'ed Project has been put to the side so that A.L.I.E.N will be released. A.L.I.E.N is set to drop very soon but there are no exact release date yet. For now you can visit the message board and discuss anything you like. And to peep a clip of me dancing, visit Thebestoftanya.com

Stain'ed Military Jacket

2006-01-12T10:46:00.004-08:00

I recieved quite a few e-mails requesting information on where to buy the Stained Military Jackets on www.Riptfuel.com I'm aware that they are sold out on www.europemoda.com and at Lounge. I have only a few on hand but unfortunately they are only smalls, mediums and ONE large left I believe. If they are your size and you would like to know how to purchase one of the jackets, e-mail me @ Steve@TheGalaxyriders.com

APE SHALL KILL FAPES

2006-01-07T09:43:00.003-08:00

I was surf'n thru myspace when I got haulted by a funny ass page. Fake Stas Owned is a page dedicated to putting fakesters on BLAST. They'll even put you're image up untill you admit to your $50.00 fake bapes. But the fakness doesn't stop there, apprantly they have fake bape leather jackets and varsity jackets out onCoolKicks.com I didn't know it would reach that far. I know everyones trying to "fit in" and look "hip" but honestly if you can't afford it, don't stoop to buying the fakes. We all understand that there are people out there who can't afford $200 sneakers and $500 hooded sweatshirts but, there are way to look super fresh with out breaking bread. It's a better look if you're caught in a fresh H&M outfit then a cheap low quality bootleg. Just my opinion. Take care kiddies.

Last nights party dot com

2006-01-07T09:43:00.000-08:00

Last night the crew and I did a little partying. The OG A.L.I.E.N crew hasn't hung out and party in a while so we decided to throw out any bad karma/drama we had from the last year and start out fresh. Plus too many fashion clicks out there were claiming they have things on lock so it was only right that we came in to let them know what it really is. This was the first party we went to for the new year, we all enjoyed ourselves and agreed that we gotta stay tight. I got much love for the whole A-crew. From the OG's to my new age crew. Anyways, I f*cked up my computer and don't have photoshop on this one so i'm too lazy to upload all the pics and make a gallery. So I just chose a few and maybe i'll post some more later....

2006-01-03T18:55:00.000-08:00

This is the first post of the new year and there's really not much to say. I was hoping to have pictures from the party I went to @ my boys house but everyone was too drunk. I know there are some flying around the net somewhere of me throwing my stomach up. Anyways We've been work'n dumb hard and it's almost done. I know you guys have been waiting and I promise you that we'll give you what you want but just be patient. Thanx again for the support. Anyways check out my boys Chris and Justin. Didn't I tell you A.l.i.e.ns fly???

MASS APPEAL

2005-12-28T07:04:00.000-08:00

Last night I was just thinking back to when I used to intern over at Mass Appeal Magazine. It was a pretty fun place to work at and I had a sick ass collection of the magazine..... TILL MY BASEMENT WAS FLOODED OUT. Man I had almost all the throwback issues from Mass Appeal but now i'm only left with like 5 + the new ones. Luckly the issue that my girlfriend and I were in was saved. Peep us making out in the back of my boss's whip!! My sister kept on bug'n me to take pictures of her so I was like why not make a fake cover issue of her. I think it would make a sick cover, what do you think? Anyways Big shout out to the whole Mass Appeal Family and an even bigger shout out and R.I.P to co-owner Patrick Elasik who passed away earlier this year.

BAPE CAMO

2005-12-28T06:56:00.000-08:00

Yesterday morning I went to go meet up with a couple of friends @ bape. The line was pretty crazy for the camo hoody. I don't have much to say about this event but for more info go check out my boy Chris's blog CtotheJL. When I got back to queens to pick up my car I noticed my window was down. As I got closer I realized that someone had broken into my car and stole my F'n radio. Now i'm carless till my window gets fixed.

Today

2005-12-26T16:50:00.000-08:00

Today I was chill'n in the city with a few friends. Everyone was doing their post christmas day shopping with their christmas cash. I picked up a couple of kicks and jeans. Nothing serious. Stopped over @ Busy works to say what up to my girl Tigga. Later on I ended up doing some skate'n in front of the crib. Shout out to Kyle, Will (in the picture above) Justin and everyone else I hung out with today.

Air Jordan 1 & Air Force 1 collectable

2005-12-24T06:06:00.000-08:00

I was cleaning out my basement when I came across these two mini sneaker boxes. I totally forgot that I had these mini collectables and still in pretty good condition. I had it for about 3 years now and I believe I won it in a contest in harlem. I was trying to do some research on the two toys and found out that only 6000 of each sneaker model was made. It was designed by Bowen Designs exclusively for Nike. If anyone has more information on these two models, feel free to e-mail me @ Alienthecrew@yahoo.com

2005-12-18T13:28:00.000-08:00

Yesterday the Futura's dropped and I was there to cop. The line was serious but it was worth the wait. Here are a few pics of what I got yesterday. (even landed a pair of De La Souls)

FAKE STA HOODIES!

2005-11-02T21:46:00.000-08:00

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!

Nike vs. Bape Holloween

2005-10-29T21:18:00.000-07:00

Ok, so both Nike and Bape have released their Holloween edition kicks. I've seen both in person, tested both and I honestly feel the Nikes are surperior. The overall quality is better in my opinion but what do you think?

Before batman begun!

2005-09-19T09:39:00.000-07:00

I was ride'n around gotham city when I came across the original bat mobile. It was parked in front of a village cafe so I walked in. I had to know who owned the original mobile. So as I walked in and I shouted "Aye, who owns the mobile known as the bat! I shall not leave till my questions are answered!" Eventually I got my ass kicked out by the manager but, it was worth a shot. While I was sit'n on the curb wondering, an old man tap'd me with his kane. He said, "follow me young robin, your questions will be answered." The old man and I talked and reminisced about the old days as the caped crusaders. He taught me how to rob for the poor and the correct way karate chop a kneck. At the end of the day, we shook hands and then........ THAT BROKE A$$ N*((A HAD THE NERVE TO ASK ME FOR $5.

Meth & SBTG's creation

2005-09-19T09:26:00.000-07:00

These are the most exclusive dunks in my opinion.Meth was in Singapore, and got together with SBTG to create this crazy creation. From the raw denim to the tiger stripes, this is a very unique and exclusive pieces. Good job guys. And who said the East coast and West coast don't get along?

White dunk Hollywood

2005-09-11T11:17:00.000-07:00

Sweet JESUS! Damn I wish I was there but we got lucky to snag a few pics of the event. The Nike White Dunk event took place in Hollywood CA with artwork from some really amazing japanese artist. The theme ofcourse was the Nike dunk and the artist incorperated it in their artwork. It's just crazy how far the dunk has gotten and how it inspires people to do these outstanding pieces. Check out some of the photos here: White Dunk

A Bathing Fake?

2005-08-30T21:25:00.000-07:00

Even though i'm no longer a big fan of the bathing ape, because now it's main stream, people always ask me "Yo how can you tell real from fake bape sta's?" or "who cares if i baught this on www.chinawholesalevariantkicks.com no one's gona know they're fake" Well this post is for you posers that swear your bapes are real but, only paid $60 for them. Or have some wild colors that even NIGO himself don't have but you say "nah son, these are exclusive" pffff!!! yea RIGHT! Here are a few tips on how to spot fake BAPES

1. If you baught them from a variant website that sells everysingle pair of jordans in any color you want and jacob the jewler watches, then your sh*t is fake.
2. If the side of you Bape Star bubles up on the side, then they are fake. Real bape stars are sewn flat.
(view picture below)
3. Lift up the sole of the shoe (no seriously) if you see a piece of carboard there, then your sh*t is fake.
4. Basically if you baught your Bapes anywhere other than the Bape Store or a highly reputable sneaker store, then most likely your sh*t is fake.

Compare these two sneakers. Notice the BIG difference. The Stars, The color patterns, Quality and Shape. Sorry if you feel offended by this post because you own a pair of fake bapes. It's all good, now just save up and go buy yourself a real pair.

Nike Stussy Court Force Release?

2005-08-29T20:22:00.000-07:00

I don't know but, rumors are saying that the Nike Stussy Court release date will be September 10th. Now only 1000 pairs will be made for each color way but, each stussy store in the US are only getting 100 pairs each so start setting up your camp kits. The first set which will be releasing are the black and yellow color ways. So if you don't get your hands on the first set good luck on getting the second.
