One of the most influential photographers of our time just recently came by the shop and took a few quality photos. His resume stretches from photos of Colette Paris events, Madame Figaro, and even Hermes'. Enjoy the pics.

NIKE DUNK HI LAKERS "NON SB'
This Lakers Dunk High is not to be confused with the SB’s we posted last week. The Lakers SB Dunk Hi’s will never release, but these non-SB Lakers Dunk Hi’s will make their way into stores early next year.
The nice blend of purple mesh and yellow accents applied to these Dunks is screaming for some Lakers attention. Peep the gum sole, sweet! These Dunks are slated for a Spring 2010 release, so someone e-mail Kobe a link to this post.

Here at RIF LA, we believe in getting to know our customers through their different views on specific topics. We started this with the belief that there's so much more to the shoe game than you think... we meet so many good people, from the internet, sneaker conventions, sneaker releases to sneaker camp outs, we all share one love for sneakers. In this series we will be interviewing and blogging an interview once a week, so be sure to tune in every week. We will call these interviews " IN YOUR SHOES ".
For our first interview, we chose our good friend and long time RIF LA suppporter, Manny Flores from Los Angeles who's been collecting sneakers for about 4 years now.

Thanks to all the attended the UNLACED event here in LA. It was a good turnout with hundreds of sneakerheads buying, selling and conversing about the hobby we all love kicks. More pics to come later.
Today was another scorching LA afternoon but it was all good we managed to make the best of it.
Peep Ed's make shift shants, who needs shorts when you can roll up your khakis and cool your ankles? JAPAN STEEZ!
Whats a day in LA without proper shades to protect our corneas.
And a proper Mens Tote, or (Purse as I would like to call it) to carry all your summer essentials sunblock, perfume,bikini,TIE, hankerchief, lipstick, sandwhich etc. He LOVES this thing though, go figure?
Summer is not complete without the proper everyday T-Shirt. Even though we only printed our shirts on black T's( even though temperatures are reaching close to 90 degress) Theres a little something for the hypebeast in us.
Oversized RIF LOGO in the front with a variety of colors to fit any personality. Black/Yellow, Black/Black, Black/Pink...Even a Tiffany Green so Ed can Match his Tiffany SB's! Limited to 20 peices cause Ed bought the other 20. Sorry Guys
And finally a GRIP of new kicks, dont sleep in the coming days or you'll be stuck with your janky flip-flops the rest of summer.
Best regards,
RIF

MICHAEL JACKSONS MEMORIAL SERVICE RECAP
Unfortunately I was not one of the 17,500 people who were lucky enough to attend Michael Jacksons Memorial Service, but I was able to join thousands of people who flooded the streets around the Staples Center.
Most the people there were trying to sell t-shirts, photographs, buttons, etc. Also every news channel, radio station, and blogger were in attendence interviewing everybody. It was the first time I ever seen this many cops! lol
Check out a few pictures I took below!
MJ tees every corner
The cops would not let anybody near the Staples Center if you didn't have a wrist band to go in. Even MTV failed to get pass them.
Remember this guy from way back when he came into RIF to sell us some random nonsense. First he said $20 each, but then he said " $10 FOR BOTH, just for ME " lol
nice collage
melee
This is the last picture I took right before I left while driving.
Rest In Peace Michael Jackson!
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY !
