On January 11, 2011, Illest opened its flagship doors in the heart of Little Tokyo of Downtown Los Angeles. The brand, in only its third year in existence, has become one of the most sought after brands that cater to an audience looking for more than just a label but rather a lifestyle. We are happy to bring the Illest Brand to RVA. Come in and check it out.
The RVA Street Art Festival lived up to the bill last weekend. The weather was perfect and tons of Richmonders came out to see some of the best artist from RVA and around the country. Ed Trask, Jon Baliles, and the team that organized this amazing weekend should be very proud. The artist could not have been more accommodating and friendly. We hope that this wonderful art event happens ever summer in RVA. Check out the photos from our blogger Cheats:
Before the torch is lit in London this summer, New Balance issues its classic 574 runner is three USA-themed Olympic styles. Each pair features a different take on the patriotic red, white and blue color scheme, accented by metallic gold at various points. Track-printed insoles provide a little comfort on the interior, while white cushioned midsoles and gum rubber outsoles support the ride below. (writing courtesy of Sole Collector/New Balance)
We were packed again for our Last Friday Art Show – this time the show featured art by David Green, Oura, and Nems the Great. It is amazing to see our art show really gaining momentum over the last few months - and this summer we are setting up for even bigger and better show. So make sure you check it out, it is the Last Friday of every month at West Coast Kix.

In the midst of a pretty tragic situation, we are glad that so many people (over 200) came out last night to support public art. Our blogger Cheats, got some photos of the scene last night. No matter how you feel about the removal of the project, we can all agree that public art is something that should be appreciated and valued.
