THIS Saturday. RIF Clothing. 11/10/12

This Saturday NOVEMBER 10, 2012 Commemorates YEARS of Planning, dedication and our overall vision for a store/ business model un-like any SHOP in the United States. A shop that eliminates un-wanted brands and concentrates on RARE pieces from brands NOT available outside of their own retail locations OR select retailers most of which are not located in the United States.

RIF LA II

This Saturday we will be celebrating a SOFT opening for all our supporters.

We will be having Music, Food, and Drinks.  Let us ALL celebrate our accomplishments together.

wasn't hungry.


It wasn't until recent years that the popularity of sneaker technology and non retros started becoming the "go-to" purchase.  Other than a brands Retro Line and Nike's Jordan line. Sneaker Technology in the past has taken a back seat to retros i.e.. Dunk, shell toes, Classic Basketball shoes.

Nike as well as its main competitors have made a stride in introducing technologically advanced footwear and recently has hit the reseller and consumer main stream. 

The Nike Flyknit is a prime example of a NIKE technologically advanced shoe that has hit the reseller and consumer main stream. Nothing like a retro, you have to respect the silhouette and color variances in this particular model.

Not to mention in comfortability. (well not really) its still cool though.


FLY-Knits are the go to at the SHOP.


Its funny to think that NIKE SB used to command prices close to the $1000.00 range. 

This Particular recently released 3m Dunk Hi would have been an instant HIT, in 2004.  Easily 300+

Us sneaker heads finally wised up and started buying Lebron X for $300.00 SMH.



Cold weather in FULL effect. Its nice to see "boots" with un-matched comfort and style.

Might have to buy a pair for "rain shoes".


Un-released samples. Take your pic.


With Nike RETRO SB ie. Dunks having a slow sales year. You can't be mad at NIKE SB's attempt to peep its head into "retro" inspired, technologically advanced models.


COPP or NOT?


The homie CARL always SHOWing premium "gold medal" service. 

"RIF LA, Always at your service." 


IF you haven't met MURAD, you better get used to him...He will be RIF LA's NEW Clothing SHOP manager.

He came a LONG way from wearing URBAN Outfitter TEE'S and OLD Navy Jeans.

CONGRATS MURAD.


Sometimes, the most minimal things are the most important.

Don't some KIDS. IT'LL Kill.


The homie . A-TOWN blessing the SHOP'S phone with a CAMERA, perfect for our artistic Instagram needs.

Andre "The BUM" (he likes being called that) signing an AUTOGRAPH on our limited edition "Andre TEE".



Manny Has his HALLOWEEN planned. Monster Massive anyone?


One of the MOST Beautiful shoes that ever came through RIF DOORS. Not only because of its RARITY.

The color palette used on these particular sneakers is SECOND to NONE.


Hope you enjoy them MR. LEW.


Re-UP on RIF LA Snap Backs. Get them while they last.


If you have been living under a ROCK for the past 5 years, or don't go out. Then you won't know who these musicians are.

If you don't know, and would like to learn...they are conglomerate of the BEST DJ's in the United STATES.

The SKAM ARTIST. 

If you ever been to vegas and wondered why you can't get in, then its because one of these guys are DJ'ing the venue.

GOOD to see you ALL.


 Our FAVORITE "paid" Intern, driving CARL to Mc Donalds. Its unfortunate Connor didn't have any money for FOOD.

"Thanks Connor"- CARL

"Its ok, I wasn't hungry anyways" -Connor (his stomach was growling)


When you walk through RIF Doors you will be blessed with Heffe's daughters first pair of Jordans.

Keep an EYE OUT.


Sorry for the LACK of BLOG posts. You will soon understand the reason. Stay tuned for INFORMATION on THE Grand OPENING of RIF LA's NEW Store.

We will be having GIVE-aways, DRANK, and Good MUSIC.

You will NOT be dis-appointed.

Have a BLESSED week.

create.

We have been a staple in the sneaker community for almost 6 years. From our early inception from sending 1 package a day to what it is today, sending/selling hundreds of shoes a month.

It has been a roller coaster ride here at RIF and we thank the most invaluable piece of the puzzle, YOU, our supporters and anyone who has stepped through the RIF doors in the past 5 (almost 6 years).

We have tried to stay consistent with excellent customer service as well as provide you ALL with the most comprehensive and well sorted selection of sneakers at prices SECOND TO NON.

With the feedback we have received from emails, post cards, birthday cards and GIFTS from our supporters it seems we are meeting your expectations and we are BLESSED.

RIF has been growing at an exponential rate and we wanted to create something for those that do not necessary come to RIF on a weekly basis. Jeff and I wanted to spread the RIF idea to those that are not necessarily into footwear, or to those that have "grown" out of the scene.

So Jeff and I contemplated for YEARS on what we wanted to create. We wanted to expand RIF into something MORE than sneakers, creating something that we are not only interested in but something that was lacking locally and most important nationally.

What would you create?

After years of butting heads and ideas. What we came up with was simple. A Clothing Store.

Like RIF, what if we sorted out all the bull-shit and had a destination that had ONLY TOP TIER clothing brands and pieces. Brands that would not NORMALLY be distributed to other shops other than their own. Brands that are only available in 3 states. Brands where enthusiasts camp out for days for a T-Shirt. Now what IF we carried these TOP TIER Brands and consistently had new merchandise weekly. That is RIF Clothing.

Imagine RIF creating a clothing destination and a webshop that would distribute across the globe to those not fortunate enough to attain goods wanted. 

THAT is what we are creating for you.

WE are close to our NEW Store Opening, and mind you...you will NOT be dis-appointed.


Back to RIF the shoe shop...

The Homie Snoop decided whether or not he wants to buy his 4th pair of Black and Red Air Jordan 1's



Con-weezyth taking a flick with a shoe he NEVER knew about. SMH.
How could he NOT recognize an ICON?

@$4000.00 We think its a fair price.


Their home for NOW.  Don't worry the Seller wanted them here.



The RIF sneaker LINE-UP.


Earlier this week 3 of our supporters came in wearing the BLACK and RED 1's

Funny thing is they didn't even know each other.


Manny back from a short 3 day VACATION. 

"Good to see you Mannyyyy" - Ed

"Im not cleaning the toilet again...Manny" - Connor 


"...too bad" - Manny




Once in a WHILE we are surprised on how far our MOTTO GOES

"Good People, Helping Good People."

Apparently NBA 2nd Overall Draft PICK Derrick William caught wind and wanted to HELP out the CAUSE.

He donated 2 pairs of Under Armour PLAYER Exclusives to the LESS fortunate of Los Angeles.

Being in Minnesota he couldn't make it through but his cousin did... you best believe when he comes to LA we'll have pics. Unfortunately Kobe's going to make it rain on Minnesota. haha

Thanks again Derrick.

Follow him on twitter @RealDwill7


Size 15.5


We are surprised how generous donation have been lately. Most barely worn some BRAND NEW.

Thank you ALL to those that have been donating for the past month.



Carl NOT too happy with all the empty boxes he has to keep in his car for RIF future use.

Thanks Carl. 



All of your donations as of MONDAY have been donated to the GOOD People over at 
The CHANGE UP.
