AMERICAS BEST DANCE CHICKS

I know all the boys here at RIF did... HA HA!
I actually taught them the art of dance.....

RIF X ARCHRIVAL
Archrival and RIF stand side by side as a ruling elite in Little Tokyo, Downtown L.A. We opened our doors on the very same day (12/06/06 to be exact), we're kind of like twins.. but fraternal twins that don't really look alike. As RIF caters to your sneaker fix, Archrival caters to all your essential clothing/bike/art needs!!
Archrival has recently launched their online webshop. Click here to view. Show ya love!!!
Ed, Steve (Archrival), Mink (1/2 Archrival), Jeff, and Jason (Archrival)
MINK says.." it smells like a FIESTA in here"
Working in Little Tokyo and eating and every imaginable place in and around the area, theres nothing like homemade tamales from the Mexican lady selling out of a shopping cart next to my local church.
ELECTRIC DAISEY CARNIVAL!
For all those that reside in Southern California you should be aware of this weekends festivities. ELECTRIC DAISEY! For those that do noT know, its an ALL night festival of illicit drugs, music, weirdos, and probable overdoses all mixed into one night.
This year a few of us will be attending the festivites: Our tentative schedule is as followed:
4pm- GET INEBRIATED AND HEAD TO THE VENUE
9:00pm - 10:30pm Christopher Lawrence (but this time 2 green)
inbetween walking about aimlessly
10:30pm - 11:30pm Partyshank
1:00am - 2:00am Le Castle Vania
inbetween walking about aimless, FUCKEDDDDDD UP
2:00am - 4:00am Paul van Dyk (groping and hooking up with random broads)
That is the tentative schedule, nothing is set but you get the idea.
To prepare for the festivities. There are some necessities.
The Goods:
VANS SYNDICATE X STEVE OLSON
All I can say is, this is a must copp. We had these samples maybe a year ago, and they look a little different. Well I remember the samples had leopard lining and the black part in the front midsole wasn't there. But dammm good sh!t SYNDICATE!
DJ AM .. NUFF SAID
Hes probably one of the reasons why I strayed away from all the BS kicks and moved on to the pricey quality sneakers. Remember kids, quality > quantity. But in DJ AM'S case, he has a huge quantity of quality kicks.
YOGURTLAND :: THE TAKE OVER
Watch out Pinkberry and Ce Fiore. We officially have 3 yogurt spots for you in Little Tokyo. Its pretty funny actually, but either way we get free yogurt from all three spots. But Yogurtlands cheesecake is phenomal!
HUF VANS SK8 HIS
Don't expect these babies to come out until 2009. Supposedly released at HUF LA, but never did. Here are some clean samples we just got in.
damnnn black/gold is crack!
SNAKE IN THE GRASS.
For those that want a closer more personal idea of who Ed is hes a SNAKE IN THE GRASS. Just look at his new toy, the Good OL' Fashion hand buzzer. After parents where complaining we had to tell Ed to stop buzzing all the little kids just trying to say wassup.
