Traphouse

RIF LA is always looking for ways to improve.  Recently, we have added on

brand new SIGNS above each shop.  Here is a glimpse of RIF 1 aka "The Traphouse"

The days of not being able to find RIF on 2nd street are long gone.  If you are ever in the area be sure to keep an eye out for us.  Simple yet very recognizable.  RIF.LA

 Here is RIF 2 aka "The Clubhouse"

Again, this sign is a very nice addition to the storefront.

A couple of Sneaker Shots from Saturday.

Notice the IGNANT grey sweaties to go with the Nike Air

Here's Connor rocking his W)Taps Chukkas.  006

Who worked this past Saturday? None other than Jeffe, Manwell, and Carl.

The homie Snoop was chillin with the team as well. 

Our close friend SchoolBoy Q (@Groovyq On Instagram)  decided to swing by and chop it up with Jeff.  He ended up picking up those Olympic AIR More Uptempo's.  Thanks again we appreciate the support brotha.  Everyone be sure to stay up on his upcoming album set to drop sometime this year...

Shoutout to Joe (@joezilla90) for picking up the YEEZY 2's, enjoy the shoes!

Shoutout to the homie Dre (@nice_soles) for donating some clothes for the people of Skid Row.

#GPHGP

Thank you to all the support and donations that we have received these past few months.  WE are still collecting shoes and clothes for the homeless, please feel free to bring your donations by the shop anytime.  #PushingWeight 

Attention: Our website (www.rif.la) is currently DOWN for maintenance.  We will be letting you all know as soon as possible when it will be going back up.  Thank you and we appreciate your patience.

REINFORCE CREW

Another weekend, another drop. 

Every other Saturday, we tend to drop/release new items.

Well, this time it is our own RIF clothing that dropped. 

Besides our "club-house" beanies, we had a quickstrike drop of crewnecks.

"REINFORCE" (That's what RIF means! We're not gang affiliated!)

B.O.C.

This past weekend RIF celebrated the birthday of none other than

Co-owner Ed Mateo.  On behalf of the RIF crew we wish you a Happy Birthday.

Ed's custom Birthday Cake

Some of our workers felt the birthday spirit and lost their work ethic.  

Caught INTERN Willy big chillin' on the Job.

By the way, he's playing CSR Racing

Keep your eyes out for the Original HEAT around the shop

The 4's are 89's

The past few days have been very busy for the Team at Rif 1.  

Not only is our website down for quarterly maintenance, RIF was closed today for our quarterly inventory check.  

Not only are all the shoes brought out of the racks, they are checked to be displayed

on the floor, and if they aren't on display they are wrapped accordingly.

A small portion of all the shoes that were wrapped today

By far the most popular shoes in the shop, the beloved Jordan section.  We have more Jordan's than ever, this is just a fraction of them being checked for our quarterly inventory.  

El Heffe  aka Everyones Enemy was working hard today in the "Trap House" 

He did inventory on hundreds of shoes today along with the rest of the team.

 

Half-way through the day and there's still plenty of work to be done.

 Pushing Weight

One would think that with all this hard work, the team would be hungry and expecting a full meal.  Looks like we just had some Krispy Kreme, as we like to call it, a traditional B.O.C. (Breakfast of Champions)

 Here is a preview of the next RIF release

"Good People Helping Good People" Snapback

Stay tuned for details

Manager Manwell is excited to see his favorite slogan finally make it onto a hat.

Or is he excited to eat the last few Chocolate Glazed Sprinkled Donuts?

Stay Tuned until next time, Manny plays against Willy on CSR racing for the last Krispy Kreme

RIFLA2 - RIF DOS

After organizing and filling up the racks and shelves with clothes, we've decided to create a blog for RIF.LA Dos.
Yes, this is our first post...

Well, we finally received our shipment of RIF beanies.

The homie Lennard helped out ilnoj double check the stock just to make sure we have enough beanies for everyone for tomorrow's drop.

Happy New Year

The Holiday season is always the busiest time of the year for us.  Here at RIF, we have been swamped with an enormous amount of sales, both ONLINE and IN-STORE.  It is safe to say that without YOU, our customers, we would not be where we are today.  

This has been a typical scene here at RIF throughout the past few weeks, as you can see we have been living our slogan of #PUSHINGWEIGHT

Not only are we helping all our customers on the sales floor, we are busy in the back wrapping shoes for display as well. We have dozens of new shoes coming in daily.

Shoutout to Trumaine Johnson (@truj2) for coming through with @kikcrazy and @dsdaily_

If you don't know who this young man is yet, chances are you will soon.  He is one of the best young cornerbacks in the NFL, playing for the St. Louis Rams.

Another rising star from the NFL decided to drop by RIF.  

Shoutout to #13 Josh Gordon (@Kamoflash) of the Cleveland Browns.

Clearly Carl is starstruck of his FAVORITE wide receiver.  

Since the Holidays are filled with countless hours of shopping and searching for a perfect Christmas gift for your friends and family, it is easy to forget to be thankful for what we have.

A few of us from RIF decided to give thanks and went to Christmas Mass.

#GodFirst 

  

Another slogan we have established at RIF is "Good People Helping Good People" 

If you have been following us on Instagram (@riflosangeles) then you are quite aware of how we have been working to live up to these words on a daily basis.

 2nd Street Willy & Shirley breaking out their Christmas presents.  

Bred 11's for HER and Chicago 1's for HIM.

#GPHGP

It has been our pleasure to hire Willy to work part-time for BOTH of our shops.  Thanks for the hard work Willy, we hope you and Shirley enjoy the shoes.

Until next time, we wish you a Happy New Year from the RIF crew
