THROW IT IN THE BAG!

This CHILI Loco Moca is probably as rare as a pair of AIR YEEZYs, Aloha Cafe (located on 2nd & Central) only offer it once or twice a month. Good thing they call us when they do have it in, and its a must try if your ever around the area.

RIF's TUMBLR

This next project that we have in the works is going to be BANANAS! Its taking a lot of time, so we'll be taking snap shots of a few goodies via RIF TUMBLR every week or so. Slow and steady wins this race, FCUK leading.

4 YEARS ANNIV TEE

It has been 4 strong years over here @ RIF LA and we don't plan on slowing down anytime soon, more like expanding very soon. If there was one thing we've learn from working @ RIF LA, it was all about GOOD PEOPLE HELPING GOOD PEOPLE. From helping all of our consignment sellers sell their shoes, to helping them find their GRAILS, we've met a lot of GOOD people since day 1.

Our philosophy of Good People Helping Good People ties in to all of our supporters donating shoes to our store so we can help the good less fortunate people of Skidrow Los Angeles, its because of you, they don't need to walk around with holes in their shoes or even walk around barefoot.

So it only made sense to put our Philosophy on our 4 YEAR tee and best believe we'll stick to it forever.

4 YR. Good People Helping Good People tee NOW AVAILABLE. $24.00

FHQ SHOP - NOW OPEN

Just in time for the holidays, one of our close FAM recently opened FHQ in the City of Cerritos (The old Stacks Record Shop ). This is not your typical clothing shop, its a cross between a BMX/Skate/Shoe/Clothing shop all rolled up in one spot. So if your in the CERRITOS/OC area make sure to stop by the shop and let them know that RIF sent you.

FHQ
18300 Gridley rd. #B artesia/cerritos CA, 90701

KEEP on STACKIN

After a late night last night we got to the shop bright and early, as you all probably already know our daily work hours extend from that of the normal 12-7pm shop time. Though the doors open at 12pm (12:15 when Edouche works) we are normally up 10am sharp(if not earlier) having meetings, checking orders, answering emails and prepping the shop for the days festivities.

Here's a rare glimpse of RIF's very own Manny fresh bright and early in the morning. Don't be alarmed that's how Manny looks all day long.

Did we mention Manny doesn't drink coffee, instead for his caffeine fix he downs a couple cans of GRAPE Fanta.


Dec 15, 2010

UP & RUNNING

Thank you again for all your patience during the web shop delay from the past 2 days. We appreciate the understanding and kind emails regarding orders and shoes currently in the shop, Edouche was scared. As you all know we are currently under-going major changes not only in store but online and yesterdays setback was a small hurdle in the long race to the TOP.

Although our site was down, it didn't stop many of you from coming down/ buying sneakers/and dropping off consignment and because of that we thank you. Here's what's been going on at RIF...

Bright and early our boy(wants to remain anonymous), who owns one of the biggest sneaker/clothing spots in Socal came through and not only shinned on us with his KOBE VI's but his latest pickup.

WEBSITE UPDATE 2.

Yesterday morning, during our planned maintenance/upgrade session a small issue arose. This brought down our network, our engineers are working hard to bring back OUR site and have all your shoes and the shoes you are hunting for back online.

Keeping up with the growth of RIF has presented more work then our small team was prepared for with traffic streaming in the THOUSANDS... RIF LA is determined to bring OUR site back with a faster/more updated interface. WE cannot apologize enough for this minor setback. Please be patient... and like our staff in-store works relentlessly for your consignment/customer service needs, so do our network engineers in bringing OUR web-shop back. best regards, RIF

KICKS LAB.

HAJIME from Kicks Lab JAPAN flew down for a couple weeks stay to take care of some necessary sneaker business for the store. 75% of what goes on in the sneaker scene happens behind the scenes and overseas, so who ever has a store overseas always has the upper hand ..shouts to our store in Japan, LA AVENUE :). If you've been around the sneaker scene for a while then you might notice Hajime because he used to work @ Greyone yearssssss ago.

NIKE SPORTSWEAR - "LA DESTROYERS" EVENT RECAP

LET THEM EAT CAKE.

Today was like any typical Thursday BUSY as normal...but what makes today more special is it MARKED a mile stone in RIF History. 4 Years...and counting...thank you all that passed by the shop, dropped off gifts and congratulated us, chopped it up and reminisced about the "good 'ol days"

Thank you all that supported us throughout the years... new and old friends and rest assure there's more GOOD DAYS to come.

This was a RIF first. The homie Alexander and his Lady Johanne came through and dropped of a Tres Leche Cake with warm tidings to match. What makes this even more crazy is that its BOTH their birthdays.

Thanks again guys for the CAKE and Happy Birthday to you two.

DOERNBECHER

RIF takes pride in helping the community and as the Holiday season is in full swing its always nice to see individuals that come into the shop and instead of buying shoes( which is always good) bring them in for donations to the needy of SKID ROW.

Leading by example.

Shining.

Today was one of those days that blewww past. As soon as we opened the shop it already felt like it was time to close. Sometimes 24 hours isn't enough time don't you think?

Our BOY Jason and his Son LIL' Gucci came through the shop, what makes this photo interesting is that he's rocking more than $300.00 in clothing. Ranging from Supreme, Bape to J's.

Lil Gucci definitely Shining on us( with an ice grill-to match) we needa step our clothing game up. SMH

Good to see you J.

AF1 LAKERS SAMPLE

Our good friend from Nike decided to give us an early Christmas gift. An un-released AF1 "Lakers" Sample. 1 of 1 sample.

A perfect match for our Nike Dunk Hi Laker SB Sample.

Covered in Laker inspired colors and a FELT Nike Swoosh makes this shoe one of our favorite AF1's to date.

DON'T SLEEP.

You ever wonder what deals pop up at the shop on a everyday basis? Well most of the time, DEALS OF THE DAYS only last a few minutes in our store and all of a sudden its gone from our web shop. So don't blame us for items being SOLD, blame those shoe heads who stay updated on our website and make sure to sniper all the good deals.

Heres a few DEALS that slipped away from A LOT of peoples hands, first come, first serve!

ALMOST DONE.

While were waiting for the blog layout to be fully get up and running we thought it would be good to continue our daily blogging instead of waiting. Our friends below came down to Los Angeles to finish up celebrating the San Francisco Giants huge win! These guys make their way down about every 2-3 months just to cop some fresh kicks. They said, "Maybe 1 day Dodgers, 1 day.."


These guys below were being real loud & obnoxious bringing in their goodies for consignment :)

TEAM 334A

Once a month, Team 334A goes out and have dinner together. Or at least to hang out.
We decided to go to Applebee's in Alhambra where Carl used to live.


Jello brain!

WDYWT:
Murad - 005 W)Taps x Vans Chukka.
Me - Supreme x Nike Sb Bruin.

Applebee's 2 for $20.
Hmm, that's a good deal!

We basically paired up into 2 for the 2 for $20 deal.
Manny & Paula.

Carl & Juan.

Me & Murad.
Way too serious...

Retake.
(No, we are not related/brothers. Just wore almost the same clothes, but same brands. Haha.)

Getting our orders down.
Still wondering what's our waitress's costume. Haha.

Oh yeah, our waitress got this weird idea of how she could identify which drinks are diet and regular soda by putting 2 straws to mark it as "diet" soda and 1 straw for regular.
Kind of clever though. Haha.


Mannnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyy!

While waiting for the appetizers, we played the "basketball" game to keep us occupied.

Appetizers.
Manny & Paula got Mozzarella sticks.
Murad, Carl, Juan and I got x 2 Boneless Buffalo Wings.

Paula is eating her mozzarella sticks with a fork.
"Oh you fancy huh?" Haha.

Murad's plate - Provolone Stuffed Meatballs with Fettuccine.

My plate - 7 oz. House Sirloin with Mashed potatoes & Onion Rings.
And I got a garlic bread stick for some reason. Haha.

Juan's bowl - Three-Cheese Chicken Penne.

Manny's bowl - Three-Cheese Chicken Penne.

Paula's bowl - Three-Cheese Chicken Penne.

Carl's basket - Chicken Tenders Basket.

Having a chat.

Heading back to the parking lot...



Saying farewells until next time.

And then...
Murad gets sandwiched. Haha. Well, Murad likes it rough though. Haha.

Juan gives it a "2-thumbs up" & Manny is super happy. Murad is acting like he didn't enjoyed being sandwiched. Carl is just surprised after what just happened. Haha.

Manny mobile.

Last thing, spotted a DeLorean parked inside the parking structure (the one by RIF).
Hmm, whose DeLorean is this?
