YOUNG SHOEHEADS

I've personally noticed " shoe heads " getting younger every year, from as young as 11 years old! I didn't start actually collecting shoes until I was maybe 15 and I thought that was young. These young shoe heads come by the shop all the time, and their knowledge about specific shoes is just nutts! Maybe since they started so young, they'll one day get over kicks before they turn 18, doubt it though!

My boy Ethan is only 11 years old and he said he started collecting shoes because his dad is a big shoe head. I overheard him schooling another person about the undftd splatter dunks, how it was only given to friends and family and how they were very limited. Like who knows that?

Check out them spiz'ikes
Then we got our boy KOH below whos only 12 years old. I didn't even know how to dress when I was 12 years old, but KOH got it down form head to toe.

Handful of " new arrivals " for today.


Its the end of the month! PEACE out FEB! and HELLO MARCH!

I C IT

My boy Jason, #1 Dad in Long Beach, came down with his daughter to pick up some kicks and chit chat a little. Probably one of the realist cats I know from Long Beach! Thanks for always supporting man!

We did get a lot of " new arrivals " today, all price reasonable ofcourse, so come down to the shop!



Our Big homies came down to say wsup and pick up some fresh tees. This car is just asking to get pulled over! Mutha effin gee ride.


RIF LOS ANGELES

I SEE IT. Do u c it?
These guys don't mess around! When people say gangs don't exist anymore, thats because they live in the " GOOD " areas, but gangs are still alive in the Socal area. We don't support gangs but a lot of them are still our friends.

This shit must hurt
Keepin it black n white.
But we definitely don't support FAKE kicks. LOL

RECESSION

I've been waiting for maybe over a year for this to come out! For a limited time only, Del Taco has brought back their FAMOUS " Shrimp Taco ". If you had this before then you already know wsup, but if you haven't, this this is a MUST!


Our boy came down all the way from the UK to show us some love. He even showed us a video him and his friends put together. Its not on youtube so we couldn't post it up, but he said he'll put it up so one day we can post it.

Check out some pics I took while watching the video.








Recession FOOD. Ed is getting hit HARD with the recession, so all he eats everyday is microwavable hamburgers and venti americanos.

TANGOS?!? Straight from Ecuador. Perfect for your daily MUNCHIES!

Over a hundred people applying for 1 job opening @ American Apparel. Looks like everyone's desperate for a job, hopefully our economy gets better soon. We thought they were lining up for a Supreme release.


Deals of the day, aj 14 og white/red NDS sz 10 w/everything for $100!!!

$60.00!?

$95!!!!

AJ 3 sz 13 nds $150 + Spiz sz 13 nds $110
DTA

$2000 a PAIR?!?!?

So Lupe fiascos "Trilly & Truly" collaborated with Nike on an Air Force 1 Low thats set to release soon, and 4 colors are suppose to release where there's only going to be 4 pairs of each colorway coming out. So I'm guessing thats how they came up with a price of $2,000 a pair!


Only Nike can do this! The swoosh better be made out of real gold or something!



thanks highsnobiety :)

RE-UP ON RIF STICKERS

The first time we ever made stickers, we literally ran out in a week, giving out stacks of stickers to anyone who came in the store. So with our new batch of stickers that we just got in, they're only for in-store customers and online customers.



So I had to retire my " FUCK BUSH" sticker!

Ed, Mr.HYPEBEAST, took it and put it on his Mac.

Kinda not sticking anymore edouche...

RAIN AGAIN!

Its been raining the whole day down here in Los Angeles, well actually the last few days and maybe tomorrow. We received a couple pairs of consignment today, both "used" and " brand new " items, so check out our " new arrivals".

With the whole recession going on, cats aren't spending loot like they use to, but we've been receiving probably double or even triple amount of consignment compared to last year. Its tax return season, so when you get that fat check from the government, make sure to swing down here and treat yourself to some fresh kicks.

Yesterday night me and Ed ended up hitting up SENOR FISH to watch the Lakers kill the Celtics :) Can't go wrong when its 1 block away, fish tacos are $1.00 and beers for $3.00, what else can you ask for. After SENOR FISH we hit up the taco truck that we found right in front of the moca, but it wasn't your ordinary taco truck, it was the Korean taco trucks!



This dudes back is completely soaked. lol

mighty yummy.

By the way, I NEVER answer private calls. Unblock it homayy


Couple new goodies.

Took 30 mins to walk down to PITFIRE Pizza and take advantage of their happyhour, 50% OFF everything. Its located just 2 blocks away from RIF. Working here for 2 years and barely now I find out about this SUPER HAPPY HOUR, its just 40 steps away from us.


Looks like a pile of grass on this pizza, but looks can be deceiving. YUMMY.
