Earlier this week we made the trip out to Vegas again, with our friend Robert from 5&A Dime, for the 2011 Summer Magic trade show. We didn’t have a booth, and still unsure as to when and if we ever will, but these trips give us an opportunity to meet people, shake hands, ask questions, and see how other brands show and represent themselves. While there we connected with new and old friends from Mitchell & Ness, Asics, HUF, G.P.P.R., DYNT, Pony, Osiris, Bolt Complex, Meister, and Wiz from Ceria, to name a few. We also visited the Pool Trade Show for the first time and got to exchange conversation with other up and coming brands.

While out there we also did our fair share of night time activities, one of which included an in-store event at the Stussy store. Free food, free drinks, an art show, and even live zine making made for a pretty dope event!
