The T-Shirt that started it all...

While doing some Spring cleaning this past weekend, I came across this shirt. My girlfriend said "should we put this to be donated?" :Screaming: :Shocked look on my face: "Are you out your fucking mind?" lol. Thats when I explained the story of this shirt to her and now I will explain it to you. I had originally seen this Capitol shirt about 2-3 years ago on Karmaloop.Com, mind you at the time Karmaloop wasn't what it is today. Matter a fact the website wasn't that popular yet at least not to what it is now. While searching through the site I came across this Shirt, not recognizing the brand name or anything I remember going crazy, but the idea of online shopping at the time didn't grasp me. Originally I thought it was a Nike shirt, so I went to every mall that I could travel too, every Foot Locker, Champ Sports, Etc. To no avail they didn't have the shirt(you should have seen these peoples faces when I asked about it). Finally I had went right back to Karmaloop to find out that the shirt was sold out!! Down on my luck I sent them a message on Myspace(You can tell this was long ago lol), and they actually answered saying "Usually we don't do this, since the t-shirt is sold out, but since you came to us directly, you can purchase it here *insert Ebay Link*" In excitement I pulled the money out of my pocket and remember paying a friend to purchase it for me using their credit card. Within a few days I had the shirt and I immediately threw it on, while walking down the block I kept hearing people laugh, saying "Oh shit", it was the first time I ever wore something that caught so much attention. Long story short, this Capitol t-shirt was the first "Street Wear" clothing I've ever had, before then I never heard of "Street Wear", let alone wore "Street Wear", I was use to wearing LRG and whatever brands were dope at the time. Now present day me now has a plethora of Street Wear brands in my closet. Shout outs to Capitol they introduced me to Street Wear and for that I thank them.

Blasfome X Its Crak "What Would Jeezy Do? Wristbands

What started off as a joke on Facebook, turned into the product that you see on the side. Every time I(Crusafix) have a predicament that involves some form of thinking I always went to the phrase WWJD? meaning What Would Jeezy Do? The usual answers I would get are "Yeahhh!" or "Hahaaaa!". Dave from Blasfome gave me the idea to make wrist bands because he said "Jeezy would do it" so the What Would Jeezy do? wristbands were born!! Story couldn't be more simple then that! If you would like to purchase a wristband either e-mail me at Crusafixthagod@aol.com or Send $2 and an SASE to PO Box 6042 Pittsburgh, PA 15211

Sneaker Pimps NYC 2010 Re-Cap

A couple weeks back I stumbled upon a flier for an event called Sneaker Pimps on some website(totally forgot the name). Got souped,excited, calmly purchased my tickets and counted down the days until the date! After a long period of waiting and a venue change later the day finally comes, and me and Asia decided to make a whole day out of it. We traveled to New York by train and had an early dinner date at the BEST Chinese food place I've ever eaten at named "Hop Key" located in the heart of China Town. We ordered Duck, Spring Chicken, Rice, and Dumplings, let's just say I didn't have to eat the rest of the duration of the night. After dinner we took a walk through Soho, Noho, and a little bit through the Village, stopped in a few spots just to kill a little time before the event. Even made a stop in Toysrus Time Square for some candy and a quick photo-op. Now on to the event, I have to say the event was amazing! Got to preview the new NBA Jam that just recently dropped which wasn't that bad but somehow didn't live up to the original NBA Jam from Years past. The location of the event was great except the Venue was a little small and packed which made going to see the brands and sneaker art work almost impossible without bumping into four people and stepping on someone's Jordan's. The performances kicked off with an artist from Austin,TX by the name of Kid, dude did his thing, next performers were a group by the name of Rocky Business and they performed more like a rock band then a Hip Hop group. Next up was Diggy Simmons who we all know is a monster and honestly I was more souped for his performance more then anything, and he did not disappoint(Even though it was hard to snap a picture of him), and of course the Headliner Rick Ross came through and did his thing. It was a great night for Hip Hop Heads and Sneaker Heads alike. Peep the Pictures below:
