Sneakers are an exploration of different tastes. How we wear them, where we buy them and what type of sneakers we wear are all part of this culture and defines us individually. Different varieties of sneakers that we wear exhibit our individual personalities and interest.

Los Angeles is a prime example of different personalities and interests melting into one. Like RIF having a varieties of sneakers from Basketball, Running, Training, and Lifestyle.

The Los Angeles food scene is NO Different. The FOOD culture in LA is Diverse both in flavor/culture and price and LIKE RIF, Coming to Los Angeles you leave satisfied with whatever food adventure your decide to partake in.

Its No coincidence that RIF is located in Little Tokyo in LA (know your RIF history).

When we first opened our doors 5 YEARs ago, Little Tokyo was a FOODIE hot spot. Though there are plenty of places outside of LITTLE Tokyo to get your SUSHI fix, its the overall Japanese themed environment and different Japanese FOOD selections that make LIL Tokyo different from your local Sushi spot. Yakitori, Izakaya, Ramen you name it LITTLE Tokyo has it.

Things have changed around these parts and huge conglomerates (american apparel, starbucks, yogurt land) have become our neighbors, buts its the local restaurants and small shops that have been here for over 30 years that serve as the cornerstone for our home here in LITTLE Tokyo.

Like LA itself our STAFF here at RIF is diverse both culturally and in our interests outside of the shop.

Carl being Half Mexican half African American, Murad half Saudi half Filipino, Manny half mexican half bear. These three are thrilled Eating Japanese food.

Connor Being Half Japanese Half Irish dislikes Japanese food and prefers Mexican Food. Go Figure.

Heres Conner showing us his FAVORITE ALL time DISH. NACHOS.

NUMBER 9.

Entering in to the SECOND week of the olympics, USA basketball is headed into their most difficult week yet. Though projected to bring home the GOLD its still fun to watch these NBA ALL-Stars smash their way to GOLD podium.

Though the 92' DREAM Team in our opinion is the GREATEST OLYMPIC Basketball team to pursue the GOLD. This YEARS Olympic team CLOSLY rivals its fore-fathers.

NOT to mention the 92' DREAM team had the greatest PLAYER ever to play on the hardwood floor.

Im memory of that team and the GREATEST B-BALL player ever. We want to share this CLASSIC Kendrick LAMAR VID. Entitled "Michael JORDAN" Enjoy your weekend and enjoy the LONDON Olympics.

Did you see what we saw?

Its no secret that the RIF relies on ALL of you, the support of our loyal customers and friends. Through our daily work schedules all of you make our short time at the shop enjoyable and when disaster strikes its humbling to see all of you exceed our expectations of support and lend us a shoulder to lean on and someone to confine in. The irony is that we see most of you on a weekly basis more than our own families.

To tell you the truth our days depend not on the sales we make, but the relationship and bonds we create with all of you. And with that said,

thank you.

This past week we here at RIF experienced a passing of someone in our circle of friends and with all the positive and blessed emails and gifts from ALL of you, it has made this tragedy easier for ALL of us, especially CARL.

We here at RIF have never closed on a SATURDAY in our 5 YEARS of BUSINESS... (7/28/12) being the first, Saturday being the most hectic and busy day out of the week its rare, but some events are more important than making a nickel.

Seems as if SOMEONE from above was watching over us because when we resumed our normal business day on SUNDAY the 29th, after the Robert Farris Jr. memorial

we were blessed with this ORDER...coincidence? we think not.

was the ORDER confirmed and ready to ship?

The Y means YES to all of the above.

#blessedlife

International MONEY REAL LONG.

BTW ANY Confirmed ORDER over 10 thousand dollars receives FREE NEXT DAY SHIPPING, courtesy of RIF.

The ORIGINAL #WILDBOYZ came to pay their respects to CARL and brought a small gift to help ease the pain.

REMY VSOP.

Thanks again @thee_sma and @qualmes.

We will put this to good use.

Our Good Friend @coach_payne came through a blessed us with a HOMEMADE Chocolate Cake.

Cake makes everyone FEEL better,

Thanks again bro.

Manny Fingering the CAKE as usual. SMH

Our BOY Mr. Cortez as in NIKE Cortez came to give his condolences to CARL.

After that, he decided to chill for a while and play Temple Run on his iPhone.

The gifts never stop coming, The homie FRANKIE came through with these delectable treats. BEARD PAPA...if you never TRIED them make sure to stop by the bakery its on 3rd street and is small walking distance from RIF.
