My boys at Commonwealth in DC hooked me up with the ill goodie box. Those are my people and that shop has been a major force since the day they opened the first shop in VA.
The collaboration tees they did with HR from Bad Brains / Human Rights are crazy.
American flag beanies and field waches are DEAD ON. Essentials.
My Paisans at Gourmet always send out tomato sauce for holiday gifts. Food is not a joke with them. Love it!
My Concepts NB 999 made the cover of Sneaker Freaker Magazine— amazing honor. Proud of that shoe.
Finally had the chance to hit the bespoke lab at the Nike Sportswear store at 21 Mercer. This wasn’t the normal visit— we were on a mission. Can’t wait to show ya’ll what we came up with— we as in Me, Clark Kent, Mayor and Deon Point.
This project was an amazing experience to work on. Most times I visit the company I’m working with to begin conversations on our project together and to lay the foundation for design. I usually get the bulk of the work done from my office. This one was a bit different.
I flew out to Toronto to design this vest but the difference was actually walking the manufacturing floor of Canada Goose. Being able to see the raw material, the process and finished product was a great perspective to gain before delving into the design process on these vests. Learning the history of the company and understanding the purpose of their product was important to me. Canada Goose jackets, when used for their original intent, will save a life. The product they develop help professionals who work in extreme climates survive.
What is more important than that?
Granted my interpretation of this Alberta Vest was through the lens of fashion but it was built on function. Function to me is an important place to start— design that serves a purpose– and Canada Goose has mastered that.
I want to thank Dani, Kevin and Spencer at CG for their patience and support. I hope you dig the final product.
Also would like to thank Harris, Paul Mighty and Nick Cangello for the support on the project. It’s always a team effort.
This is the video piece I directed for the vest release— Paul Mighty is the model in the video and also produced the music used with Dj Manipulator under their production group name Boxcutters. TBB Music will be releasing Dj Manipulator’s “Live From The Badlands” in the next few weeks.
A couple weeks ago I ran out to NYC with my crew and directed a couple music videos for an upcoming Butcher’s Block music project. First to be released will be my good friend’s Chace Infinite’s video. Here is a couple shots from the shoot.
Setting up some shots in front of Prohibit in the L.E.S. Chace is a madman. #ThatIsAll
Nick Cangello is a film maker that joined the team recently. He basically listens to me rant and figures out how to capture it correctly (I say correctly because I am a little guerrilla with it). Amazing creative and addition to TBB. Welcome to the team!
Paul Mighty is my co pilot and is in charge of all audio on our projects (and tons of creative input). Probably the most reliable person I know. Everything I’m involved with he is probably not too far away. Incredible talent.
Please join Concepts and Clarks Originals while we celebrate our continued partnership & the success of our latest collaborative project, The Concepts Weaver Boot.
