3-Stripes Anyone?

With Adidas and the Yeezy Boost collection at the very peak of fashion buzz, my fingers are itching to add some more 3-stripes to my closet. I’ve always had my eye on the classic shell toe since my first Adidas purchase back in high school and the new Yeezys are reminding me of that “gotta have it” feeling. With Adidas adding major celebrities and influencers of all types to their collaboration roster, I have a serious inkling that they will continue to push the bar for the brand in style and innovation. For me, I still gravitate towards the OG’s like the classic Shell Toe and Gazelle, but with artist like Pharrell, Kanye West, and Raf Simons continuously rethinking these classics and constructing new and fresh versions of their own, I am opening my mind to so much more.

I’m sure you know very well that 2some is definitely a Nike Brand supporter but we don’t shy away from expanding our wardrobe with a little heat if Adidas has something to bring to the table. I’ve collected a few drops that have graced the market over the years, mixed with some new and current releases. These creative colorways, innovative materials, and classic styles will serve as inspiration for a custom ID design of my own that is available on their online store, Adidas.com. I’m excited to see this brand at the peak of interest in fashion and street culture once again and have high hopes for the brands future.

As technology continues to change our lives as we know it, those of us with a love for nostalgia are holding on to the things we simply cannot live without barely by our fingertips. As an artist, I have always had a love for old techniques that have laid the groundwork for the societal structures of today. At the very top of my list of obsessions lies hand lettering. Like the common CD or simple single use tools of the 50s, people have deemed handwriting and hand lettering a thing of the past. Little do most commoners know that hand lettering has steadily been making a comeback and has been using social media to build a die hard, letterform loving, cult like following of admires and curious artist. Those artists who choose to share their work with the world have been receiving mad love with follower growth by the thousands in no time. These individuals are highly enthusiastic about the work they are presenting and so are we. There are for sure some industry rock stars killing it that I haven't stumbled across just yet, but for now let me give you a taste of what a few of these artist are working with. They are truly a motivation to go find a box of Crayola markers (yes, those markers you used in elementary school!), a stack of paper, and make shit happen. I can't promise that you won't see some of my prototypes up on our pages in the near future. For now keep up with some of these artist and bask in your newest obsession.
