SCUBA WHO
Scuba Steve has a pair of prototype yeezys on the bay( click HERE for auction), but I personally wouldn't show my face on ebay because there's TOO many cats on ebay.
I wouldn't want to be out in public being pulled to the side asking me if I'm the dude who's selling the prototype yeezys. LOL
Homeboy has a site too. Peep HERE.
GOOD people helping GOOD people!
I didn't believe it was his birthday till he showed me his high school id. So I had to hook him up with the RIF BDAY SPECIAL. 
My boy who's the manager of Pastagina hooked me up with a " recession meal " . When you make your way down to RIF, make sure to pay a visit to Pastagina and treat yourself to some lovely pasta.
Ricky Jones came down with a handful guys from the La Mission to personally shake my hand and thank me for all the times I donated shoes and clothes. 
Thank You KAWS for adding to my little collection of beabricks!

BEEN A MINUTE
Its been mad busy these past few days, so we apologize for the lack of updating! This is tax return season, so all business's should be doing a little better!
We've been receiving A LOT of shoes in the past few days, so don't sleep! Put that tax return to use already!
Its dangerous to keep this much CASH on you during this recession! But if your using @ RIF to buy shoes then its all GOOD! haha

A MANS BESTFRIEND
Our boy Phillip came down with his bestfriend " SPANKY ", he's been coming down to RIF LA ever since we opened, thanks for always supporting us!
Seafood ANYONE!?
I've been working in Little Tokyo for almost 2.5 years now and I honestly thought I hit all the great spots for grub, but I was totally wrong. Edouche came down to surprise me with some food from Fisherman's Outlet Seafood Restaurant, located a couple blocks down from Little Tokyo.
WOW!?!?
Nike should really take time to think about what product they put out, instead of just producing pure cr@p.
Leave the CLEAR shoes to the cats who invented fake nikes. This is something I would find in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, in the ALLEYS ( edited, sorry!) to be exact.
super FAIL!
2 HOT FOR WINTER
Todays weather was EXTREMELY hot! I guess Summer is coming early this time around, gotta re up on some fresh tees and shorts.
Ed trying on some white supreme blazers(9.5) we just got in. You cant beat the price!
LOIpreme came down to bother me about some Supreme tees, not today buddy!
Loi asked me why I didn't post this picture below from the other day, wellll here you go LOI. Also meet Bryant (Cassette) on the left, been knowing this cat for a minute now.
We'll be getting piss drunk @ LAX this Saturday to celebrate his birthday, so swing down if you got nothing else to do because its gonna be NUTTS! Ian said hes gonna pop a bottle for all the homies!
WOW!?!?!? GUCCI DUNK 2009!
One of the most RAREST Nike Dunk Sbs will release in late 2009. These were suppose to come out about 3 years ago, back when P-rod was still with girl. They were scrapped because P-rod left girl and the main designer of the " GUCCI " Dunk was ANDY JENKINS, who designs for GIRL.
Maybe Nike paid ANDY JENKINS to release em? Who knows?
Well these babies were hitting anywhere from $1,300-$1,500. They'll drop to $200 once they release the quickstrike version so whoever owns the sample versions, CASH OUT NOW!
If ya'll don't know what the " GUCCI " Dunk His look like, here a few pictures from a longggggtime ago!
USE COMMON SENSE 101 AGAIN!
Once again, you need to use COMMON SENSE when buying shoes. I'm tired of seeing cats bringing in fakes in the store and not knowing if they are real or not.
Why are these fake?
SHOE: AJ 9 RETRO " COOL GREY "
1. LOOK AT THEM. LOL
2.Most obvious is the shade of gray used for the patent part.
3.These never came in this kind of box. (COMMON SENSE)
4. BOX TAG is WAY OFF.
5. Because I said SO!

When I'm bored out of my mind, and have nothing to look at on the web, I go on my friends personal blog: BRIANS BLOG via XANGA (who still has a xanga?).
He always has something posted on there that you've never seen before, to the point where you wonder where does he get all these images. Its not your typical street wear blog, because Brian literally posts ANYTHING.
Just peep it out yourself.
C H A N G E
Owner of DADA came down to show us some exclusive "OBAMA " Dadas's. I haven't heard the brand DADA for a minute!

Btw, why is DRAKE just murdering every1!?
STOLEN RIF BENCH!
Someone1 stole our bench that we leave outside everyday, and we miss it a lot and whoever finds it will receive a reward from EDouche.
ALTER EGO SHOW. Presented by ARCHRIVAL.
Archrival across the street hosted one of the most anticipated art shows to date the ALTER EGO Show. The artists show casing are big name artists in the industry but because most are under contract they are not inclined to use their real names...hence the name alter ego show..
Keep it Classy Little Tokyo.
Even the beancake lady was passing around ordurbs.
Overall it was a great show with a fantastic turn-out. Archrival is definitely holding it down.rif from brian cariaga on Vimeo.
FAKE DUNKS 101
You need to be careful if you ever choose to purchase shoes off of Ebay, simply because Ebay is flooded with FAKE shoes. Just stick to your common sense, if a specific shoe usually goes for a lot of money then 99% of the time it should go for around that price almost all the time. For example, heinekens usually go for about $500, so if you see pairs for $100 BUY IT NOW, then its obviously FAKE.
Buy only from TRUSTED sellers who have a reputation of selling 100% authentic shoes. If your not sure if its real, then its probably FAKE.
Here I introduce you to a victim of buying fake shoes from EBAY.
VICTIM: OLIVER
SHOE: " WHAT THE DUNK "
JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER
"ALTER EGO" SHOW l ARCHRIVAL l 03.05.09 THURSDAY
MOST ANTICIPATED NIKE
Here is the official picture of the 3 Air Yeezys that are coming out Spring 2009. Rumor has it that retail price should be around $200, hopefully....
They will not release all at the same time, but each colorway will release starting April. In April, the grey ones will release, then the black version will release May, and lastly the beige color way will release in May.
I wonder what stores will be getting these YEEZYS!?
" KEEP IT GANGSTA HOMIE "
Pudge is always down in Little Tokyo, but now we introduce you to his bestfriend " SMOE " aka dj moe money.
Our boy Lennard Cupcakes came down to treat me to some yummy SPITZ. THANKS man!
When hes not @ RIF dropping off shoes or playing dodge-ball, hes busy being Mr. TOP MODEL for Johnny Cupcakes!
Hustling so much that he gives ED money for lunch!
Ed aways borrowing my flannels. VISVIM
BRINGS ME WAY BACK!
I remember having the Reebok Answer Is back when I was in 6th grade, thinking I could ball anyone up just like AI. These were the first shoes that I made sure looked fresh everyday until the soles came apart one day.
Rumor has it that they are coming out this year, but they added RED to it!
