RIF BIG REPRESENTING LA

Kick Stand Montage

Kick Stand...We here now.... from KICK STAND on Vimeo.

After going on my daily sneaker blogs, I stumble on this rare video called " New Kick Stand " on my favorite sneaker blog, theshoegame.com.

In the video, " Kick Stand " provides great footage of the sneaker scene from Los Angeles, NY, ATL, China, Chicago, etc.  There's a handful of clips of RIF LA from when we first started out, they even filmed inside our stockroom! Thanks for the support!

Word has it Kick Stand will be coming out with more footage for us sneaker heads, so we'll definitely be on the look out.

Check out the video above.

Also our sister store Napsize recently received a LARGE amount of shoes in a size US 8, consisting of a variety of models in mostly brand new condition. If your personally a size 8, then you know how rare it is to find anything in your size, so expect Napsize to be updating these shoes on their website starting tonight.

Its about 1,200 pairs all in size 8!

Our boys across the street just recently released their New Era fitted caps and their version of the MVP T's. Unlike the lame fruity new era's caps coming out these days, Archrival's clean and discreet design is SUMMER Banger.(word to NWA)Don't sleep on the fitted's and T's there, flying off the shelves.


Archrival brings us the Final everyone wanted to see. Kobe vs. Lebron. Better luck next year King James.Fuck those LAME nike version MVP T's this is the real deal.

Im sure all of you are wondering why RIF took a few days off last week, with no updates nor idea of what essentially was going on. Well on the behalf of RIF/LaAve/Napsize, we apologize for the inconvenience. The reason for our short(but productive) leave of absence was not taken in vein. Our shop updated all the software to what our counterparts in Japan are using and we back in FULL effect, new and improved, like Kobe with the 2-4. So please stay tuned for whats to come.

On a side note, like many of you may know we RUN sneaker consignment in Japan, no one is touching US when discussing consignment(pricing, service, overall knowledge and experience) WORLDWIDE, name another consignment shop that has a shop(s) oversees?... we have been in business for more than 15 years and who do we have to thank? YOU, the loyal customers.

On the Behalf of La.Ave/Napsize/Rif  we thank all of you loyal supporters around the globe. From sunny California, ATL, NY, FL, Mexico City(wadup Jasper)to Befordshire London, Paris France,  and the home of the Great Wall the entire globe has showed support and most importantly the simple love of a nice pair of sneakers. Thank you.

For all those sneaker fiends hunting for their next grail, steal, or just see a shoe they want, you can always request pictures and we will send them ASAP, only catch is we receive more than 200 picture requests a day and by the time you get your pics, the shoes of your dreams might be on the next flight out of RIF. you snooze you looze.

ALL IN A DAYS WORK. :)

dont sleep, if you cant wait for your pics and are dying to place an order, call the shop and we will be happy to give you a detailed description of the shoes you want. Its a cut throat hunt!






Just recently our shop in Japan just recently started their LA. AVE  blog, so if you can read kanji, katakana or just want to see pics of whats going on in Japan peep their blog.

There is one thing all the staff of LA Ave/Napsize/RIF like to do, relax, kick up our feet and enjoy a cold one.
KIK TYO representing.

President Obama selects Lakers to win NBA Finals  Posted Jun 2 2009 7:16PM  WASHINGTON (AP) -- OK, Mr. President, let's see how you do picking the pro game.  Barack Obama was on his way to the Marine One helicopter on the South Lawn on Tuesday when a reporter shouted a question. The topic: Who is going to win the NBA championship, the Los Angeles Lakers or the Orlando Magic?  Said the smiling president: "Lakers in six, I think." In sports terms, that means the Lakers will win the best-of-seven series in six games. The series begins Thursday.  So far so good this year for Obama. A huge basketball fan, he correctly predicted that that the University of North Carolina men's basketball team would win the NCAA championship.  Obama was leaving Tuesday for an overnight trip to the Middle East.

IMPORTANT NOTE

We will be closed until Thursday and re-open for regular business hours on Friday (06/05/09).

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards,

RIF STAFF
