Default New Spot In Brooklyn...

Hey, how's it going Hypebeasts? A friend and I have just leased a space in Bay Ridge Brooklyn this morning to turn into a fine sneaker/clothing store. The reason that this post was started was to reach out and see if anyone would be interested in getting their product(s) out to people that normally would have trouble finding or might not be able to find at all. We are looking for independent clothing designers, toy makers, magazines, dvd's, posters, etc;.
The thought of a store like this in Bay Ridge is extremely exciting, especially since the masses embraced the culture we live and love with open arms. If you've ever been to this part of Brooklyn you know that a place like this is very much needed nowadays. There are only 2 places to get kicks and gear over here and its not even worth walking into them unless your into 12x tees and the same ol' sneakers you'd find in Footlocker. Because of this many people end up going out to the city or other boroughs to get these items they need so much. Wouldnt you love to just walk down the block or maybe even just a couple of blocks to get what you want?
There are a couple of well known names getting in on this, so failure isnt an option. Our main goal is to keep our streets looking fresh instead of "oversized", to let people know that there's alot of unseen talent out there, and to show that a spot like this will stick around long after all these white tee spots. If you're with us you're with us, if not it's all good.

Interested?

I've been seeing some really dope designers work since I posted this last night. I appreciate all the emails and private messages you guys have been leaving me. I will definitely contact each and every one of you the second things start turning bright.

Thanks alot Frank White and Brick James, we're gonna need all the support we can get.

Kate, are you talking about Killa Kaves over at Brooklyn Ink? If so, he's cool peoples. I've known him since I was a youngin' bombing when he first opened the BMT Lines on 92nd street.

I cant say that I know the dude your talking about, but then again I havent been around that spot in a minute. I should really show face, come to think of it.

Today we checked out the spot and I think we've come to an agreement on the theme of the shop we're going to put out there. With a little demolition and rebuiling it should look pretty damn fresh. The store has extremely tall ceilings which works well when it comes down to storage for the kicks and racks for all the gear.

Please dont be shy with your designs, what one person might hate another person(s) might love. Thank you to all that have showed interest. I have all of your designs/websites/emails and will definitely keep you posted.

-Thanks Again
