The LRG x G-Shock DW-6900 is a great collaborative project we all can appreciate from these two culture icons. Its a bright yellow timepiece and has “RESEARCH” written over the bottom band. The LRG signature white and green are accented on the dial face.Their previous collab was a matte Obama-blue DW-6900 that sold out quickly and the same is expect from this one as well. Will be released soon, so heads up.

On wednesday i got a call from Sean McKenzie to show me his second season of UpScene. Sean founded the clothing line and launched his brand to the massesin 2008 selling to boutiques in New York. “One of the first places i got to sell my pieces was in a art gallery which was funny” he explained. he believes that much of his brand, that they are art pieces. his designs are really proof of his work to bring a product that reflects the people that wears it.

UpScene is basically what you see. A brand represnting people trying to live above the scene. but Sean goes into great detail to explain the direction that his brand is trying to take by not falling in the box. “I’m building a brand thats not falling in line. Once you’re in the box its hard to climd back out”, he explains while looking over the Aventura area. this Harlem, New York native understands where streetwear came from and incorporates that education and his ideas into the designs you’ll catch below.

one thing he doesn’t want is to people to mistake his designs with the novelty of t-shirts we have been seeing lately. he offers a variety tees and hats with nuetral and bright colorways. Yet Sean sees his brand branching out to different areas of fashion and also streetwear culture. right now the line is available exclusively in New York but he loves the vibe in miami so much that he will branch out here and Cali soon. Visit http://www.upscene.bigcartel.com/ to cop your own piece of the UpScene movement. Sean was a cool New Yorker to me and thats unusaul ( Knicks Vs. Heat 1997-2000 Playoffs). at the end he just says ” i want UpScene to represent that group who are on top of their scene”. i can dig that.

“only a clown would believe wrapping Gucci fabric around knockoff Js could ever be cool. And if you use real Air Jordan Number XIII (OG) Lows, which already come in a beautiful colorway of White/Black, True Red and Peral Grey, you should be publicly stoned as soon you step out the house”. all that was my basic rant to my cousin to make him understand the error of his ways. Maybe somebody doesn’t need to stone you though, i may walk pass you one day with reals ones on and make you make you fall to shame of an OG. but hey, thats my two cents.
