#MANNYAPPROVED.

During the Summer we can expect people from all over the world to come by the shop, people from overseas to people just a few states away, but nonetheless die hard shoeheads. We have this young dude, Kahmar Keyes from Philly who saved his allowance for 2 years just so he can fly out to Los Angeles and hit up all the hot spots and of course he couldn't leave RIF LA out.

MY BABY GIRL.


Every couple years theres a new breed of sneaker heads that start their journey into the shoe game, some get over it after a few pairs of shoes, and some stay addicted for LIFE. I remember I started my journey back in 1997, my pops bought me my first pair of jordans from the Crenshaw Swapmeet when I was 11 years old. They were the white/black aj 13s for $30.00, and I felt like the freshest 11 year old kid in 6th grade, not until some dude put me on blast and said they were fake. I should of known they were fake because $30 was too good to be true and the "23" in the bubble literally looked like the "2" and "3" found on your keyboard, but hey i was 11!

Shouts to the young kids below from Pasadena, and Happy Born day to homie on the far right...we see the 3 purrs. I told them, Only the strongest survive in the shoe game...

WEST COAST THRONE

99% of the time we post something about music, its usually about our boy Kendrick Lamar or any of the other artists from TDE. Our boy Kendrick just made history last weekend if you haven't heard, he had his biggest SOLD OUT show @ the Music Box where he brought out literally EVERYONE. He brought out Dr Dre and The Game, but he was later surprised by Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Warren G, Big Sean, Talib Kweli, and Mosdef all on one stage!

DUNK HIGH SB BANANAS!?!

Do you guys ever wonder why we have the best customer service in Los Angeles, or maybe in the world? Its because here at RIF LA, we all put our egos to the side and understand that nobody wants to be treated like SH!T. Like what do people benefit from making other people feel lower than them? you gain nothing at all. No one gives a f*ck about COOL PEOPLE, its about meeting good people who make you feel welcome when you come in. Oh yea and we all eat medicated cookies to stay positive :) i'm kidding!

maybe carl does lol

CANNOT BE DEFEATED.

We are blessed to be surrounded by great people, people who we eventually call family or friends, good peoples would be the perfect word. Our good friend zDOUBLEe would fit nicely in that category of family, he gave us the opportunity to be apart of the TANTUM LA revolution, don't act like you don't see all these cats rockin TANTUM bucket hats and pocket tees. We've dropped a handful of RIF LA x TANTUM LA Pocket tees, but just recently we dropped our SERAPE Pocket tees in black, white, navy and finally a color way that is not available to everybody, the grey Serape Pocket tees. If your lucky enough you might be one of the lucky ones who get to purchase this color way! Stay tune for many more pocket tees to drop. #GPHGP ...and thank you for supporting the movement!

IRON MAIDEN IN THE BUILDING

Our good friend Dre better know as Croatianstyle from ebay, was in the building chopping it up and picking up checks. If you don't know him, then you better do some research and learn some shoe game history. I don't know anybody who has more shoes than him, better yet more RARE shoes, so make sure to hit up with twitter or ebay to cop some goodies.

By the way, he's on our side... good peoples helping good peoples.

FLOOD IN LITTLE TOKYO

Nisei Week is an annual festival celebrating Japanese American culture and history in Little Tokyo. Nisei means 2nd gen in Japanese, describing the first American born Japanese. So at the last day of Nisei Week, they always throw a huge parade right in front of our store, like we literally have front seats every year. The streets start flooding with all kinds of people, of course predominately Japanese, but everyone is together celebrating and just having fun.

Manny made sure to put our benches outside before anyone took our spot.

HiiiPOWER

Homies ScHoolBoy Q and Kendrick Lamar swung by the shop during after hours to grab some fresh kicks and of course some RIF LA tees to go with that. From the first time I met these dudes, I knew they were gonna blow up from the start. These guys never stop working, from dropping mixtapes and eps, to dropping a gang of videos and doing a bunch of interviews. So AGAIN, stay tune because these guys and the whole TDE Camp about to blow up!

Grab Kendrick Lamars Section.80 off of Itunes! I heard Qs like 22 tracks deep for his next project, so stay tuned for that.

Check out Kendrick Lamar in Amsterdam after the jump.
