R.I.P. Heavy D

In a day and age where technology has advanced further than ever before you’d think that more people would be living longer, not be passing away younger.

Today we mourn the loss of one of Hip Hop’s finest. Heavy D paved the way early on and will forever remain in our hearts, and on our playlists. We send our deepest condolences to his friends and family.

Tyler Shields: Smartest Man

From photographer, to shoe collaborator, and now on to author. Is there anything this guy CAN’T do? (Apparently not!)

Our great friend and photographer has just released his first novel titled Smartest Man.

From Tyler’s blog: “Smartest Man is the story of the smartest man in the world and how he becomes the Smartest Man. I must warn you this is a crazy book and a wild ride not for the faint of heart!”

The cover art is nothing less than amazing and the lovely Emma Roberts is to thank for helping create it.

Inside NEFF Headquarters

Last week I had the chance to stop in to catch up with our friends over at NEFF Headwear in Ventura, CA. After an hour drive through LA headed toward the sunny California coast, I passed a huge pumpkin patch and found myself at the doorstep of the office that has played home to the brand for the last 30 months. I was greeted by their signature NEFF Logo and Suckerface on the walls and the sound of people both working diligently as well as laughing and enjoying themselves. That’s the way work should be, right?

With a quick tour it’s undeniable they’ve quickly outgrown their space and so they are doing what any growing company does…Moving to a new (and much bigger) location which will house not only the brand but also their own skatepark! What better way to spend your lunch break or blow off some steam? The new office is under construction and the transition to the new location will be complete December 1st! (we’ll be sure to swing by and get some new pics for you once they get settled)
