NEW YEARS EVE.

For New Years Eve, we will be open from 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM and we will be CLOSED on New Years Day. We just received almost 50 pairs of of new arrivals today, mostly DEADSTOCK kicks, so make sure you check out the website or come by the shop. Remember, its GOODLUCK to be wearing a brand new pair of shoes for New Years Eve!

New Arrivals <-- C L I C K

tons of 10.5-11 sbs...

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
