Miami Streetwear » streetwear

After the success of our 1st release; our Got Mine Tee; and our most recent Sneaker Box Fitted, we decided to team up with our good friends over at Like Mike for our very first collaborative effort.
Like Mike; known for their quality printing, dope designs and fascination with Jordans. (dating back to the 1985) seemed like the perfect fit for us. They’re no new comers when it comes quality work. They’re responsible for most of Shoe Gallery’s, Purple Heart’s, Mahvee’s, & Sole Fly’s most memorable T-shirts.
For this shirt we wanted to bring back that classic Sneaker Box & Got Mine that started it all; There were tons of people who missed out on that shirt. We also wanted to flip it. Paying homage to the OG & Retro Sneaker Box that the Jordan IIIs come in, we came up with this. Notice the tag on the box is just as the original; and the bottom half of the box has that cement print that we all love.
Place your order today and your shirt will be at your door step on or before the 22nd of January(when the Cement IIIs drop) Several local shops here in Miami will also be stocking limited quantities during their release of the Cement IIIs.

Interview: Seeking The Throne

Aly — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 17:06:20 +0000

If you didn’t notice by now, I really don’t do alot industry interviews of such. I prefer bringing you the brands that are in the streets and establishing real a name for themselves. SeekingtheThrone is one such brand, out of L.A.. After a brief call, the crew let me know more than I thought I did. Including, their work with the youth in the area.

MSW> Would you please introduce yourselves to the world?
STT> We are Jose and Elias, Co-Owners of Seeking the Throne. We’re a streetwear clothing company based out of Los Angeles.

MSW> Your brand name and logo are both very unique. Could you please fill us in more for those
that don’t know?
STT>Well, the name “Seeking the Throne” reflects those that are out there working towards their dreams and goals. Whatever it is in life that you’re trying to accomplish, you are always looking to be on top. No one wants to be second best at what their doing and that’s how the name was born, we’re also trying to be on top. Our logo is very different. We wanted to create something that was completely apart from what everyone else was doing and I think that we’ve accomplished that.

MSW> I understand you guys have plenty inspirations including some major brands. Why are the kids
such a big focus for Seeking the Throne as a brand?
STT> Well, kids are the future there’s no doubt about that. We want to try and encourage kids to go for their goals in life rather than just settling for the regular 9-5 j.o.b.(JUST OVER BROKE). We don’t really have a set age that we want to target, we want anyone and everyone to be able to wear our brand. I think that its more important for us to just market our brand and let it evolve and grow organically rather than pushing for a certain market or genre.

MSW> How are you generating buzz in the streets of L.A. for Seeking the Throne?
STT>We started by going to Art shows around the LA area and blogging about them and that’s where most of or traffic came from in the beginning. We still attend Art shows, but now we’re also just hitting the streets and talking to regular kids. Something that has really helped us along the way has been Twitter. We started our twitter page @seekingthethrne roughly 3-4 months before we even released anything and the amount of support from everyone was amazing. We are very grateful for everyone that has supported us since the beginning.

MSW> What do you have in the works down the line for your Seeking the Throne followers?
STT> We want to expand the brand with some cut and sew products, as well as more head wear & accessories. We’re also trying to work with galleries and stores to hold events to show everyone that we appreciate all of their support. Other than that , we’re just trying to come up with more designs for future seasons.

Green Hill Clothes

Aly — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 16:52:54 +0000

Kellen Peterson is the brainchild behind the up and coming brand, Green Hill Clothes. What started as a simple project in 2008 at the Art Institute in Seattle has become a real life dream for Kellen. I got to talk to him recently about his brand, sports, and other things to pick his mind. Dude is real cool and seems like a big kid at heart. Just don’t bring up the OKC Thunder around him. Seriously, Kellen is adding his “Art of Fresh” into streetwear and I can’t wait to see more. Heres a little of what we went over.

MSW> I know that you are very diverse person from your background and your love for different cultures. But what’s the major inspiration behind Green Hill Clothes?

KP> The major inspiration behind the GHC is my love of clothing and fashion. I have a large collection of graphic shirts from my childhood to now. I am always interested in clothing that stands out above the rest and will grab attention. I knew I was interested in fashion when I won my school’s contest to design the logo for the uniform we all had to wear when I was in 6th grade.

MSW> Who are you targeting your brand towards?

KP> We are targeting our brand to anyone who wants to wear fresh clothing at the moment. When trends and fads change and go through their stages, our style will reflect and create the trends and fads of the moment. The demographics of the people we target have an interest in street wear and are teenagers to late 30′s. Everyone is invited to live a Green Hill style and experience the art of fresh!

MSW> What are some the plans for the future as success builds for Green Hill Clothes?

KP> We have many plans for the future that I have actually written down on a checklist. First thing is that we want to have more products produced and designed by us like shoes, jeans, hats, watches, jackets, etc. We also plan on throwing events, getting fans involved. I am also a huge supporter of charities and helping out others, so I plan to help out charities with a good cause.

I want to start a clothing line for kids called “Midori”, (The Japanese word for Green. http://greenhillclothes.com/midori). I also want to begin another line branching off of the GHC by the name of “Golden Ginza”, (http://greenhillclothes.com/goldenginza) featuring a high end, high quality feel.

The largest goal that is on my list at the time is to have Green Hill shops opened in select cities around the world starting with Seattle. That’s my current list for the moment but won’t end there.

MSW> How are things in school now that you have a growing clothing company under your wings?

KP> Having a clothing line and going to school at the same time is a great experience because many classes I take, involve having to do collaborative projects with fellow graphic design students and students in a different fields like photographers. This allows me to network with people that want to be part of the clothing line experience. Many of my projects I work on are related to the GHC and that gives me opportunity to receive critique from classmates and teachers.

MSW> I’m sure nowadays with GHC you’re staying quite busy. Tell me about any events or sponsorships that Green Hill Clothes has or will be taking part of?

KP> The most recent project I have worked on was to design a shirt for a non profit organization, Hopefirst, and a bike company, Kona Bike, on an project called, Bikes to Africa, that will help out girls in Gambia. (http://thegreenhill.wordpress.com/2010/04/12/bikes-to-africa-campaign/)

With musicians, my first major collaboration will be with an up and coming artist by the name of GMK. We worked on a photo shoot last month: http://gmkbrilliantreality.com/2010/04/green-hill-clothes-x-gmk-photoshoot/) and we are currently in the works of a GHC x GMK series of shirts to be sold during GMK’s concert tour. Other musicians we are in the works with are Jugga Hill, Dj Suspence of the Saturday Knights and Two Story Zori. A mixtape by the GHC by the name of G-Sounds will come out soon featuring these and many more artists.
