Back in the days before NikeiD moved to Niketown on 57th and 5th and it was at 255 Elizabeth, you needed an invite to even get in. They held a monthly raffle and gave out two I think. You could bring one other person with you and they got an invite and so did you when you visited (so you could come back). If you were lucky enough to even get an invite, you still couldn't customize any shoe. Dunks and Air Maxes were allowed as well as some other ugly shoes but Air Force 1s were limited to celebrities and VIP only.
I guess that's history because today, you can customize Air Forces on Nike Sportswear. There's a plethora of materials to use, even patent leather. However, they have limited quantities to a certain number per day. So get them early. And remember, Beaverton is in Oregon and there's a time difference. Hint Hint.

Daves Quality Meat - Fall Fitteds
Daves Quality Meat is one of the local premier boutiques in New York City, being the carrier of some of the rarest sneakers to release with their Teir 0 account. Although they aren't as much known for their clean and simple t-shirts, DQM fitteds have always been good money if you want a hat. The workers in the shop are friendly and will be cool unlike SOME shops in the area (you know what I'm talking about). And sometimes you can see Dave in there with a skateboard and his afro.
This fall DQM is releasing new fitteds shown below. Although the embroidery is clean and simple, DQM always comes with a clean pattern and this time it seems to be a crosshatched type of sketch pattern. It's available in Blue/Red, Grey/Yellow, and Black/Black and will be available of course at DQM in September.

Kaws (Original Fake) and New Era
Everyone remembers when Bape came out with the Chompers and everyone was sucking them. Not literally though. Well the Kaws chomper teeth pattern is familiar. We've seen it on shirts, hoodies, sneakers, and now a hat. This hat is pretty cool if you're familiar with Original Fake by renowned artist Kaws. It features the teeth pattern along the bottom of the fitted, all the way around. And it's available at my favorite shop (sorry guys), Commonwealth.

New Crooks and Castles at Commonwealth
I took a look at my favorite site today: Commonwealth. They have stocked the new Crooks and Castles line consisting of t-shirts, hoodies, and even V-Necks. The line looks like a typical Crooks line and this time we're seeing a lot of black and white. But what would the Crooks be without the grittiness? Click "Read More" to see more pictures.
