Electric Door have recently unveiled their first online .pdf issue. This first issue attempts to breakdown the whole notion of streetwear in terms of how some brands have attained such great success as well as the path it will venture down for the future. Lots of great in depth features with some of the grandfathers of streetwear in James Lebon (Stussy Tribe) as well as numerous product features and background histories. All in all, a very well thought out and executed piece of online literature. Be sure to check it out if you have a few minutes to spare.
