San Francisco’s Mayor where you at?

Quotes

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Today at HUF i heard the quote of a life time. (Marcus my witness)

O.G: This block used to be different, we used to run this shit, you got any problems you come around the corner to Nate’s and let me know i run this shit.
O.G: As a matter of fact i got to run to Bay street and solve a problem.

This is where the quote of the year comes in

O.G: Some fool spit in my girls face, i ain’t gonna have that, not on my watch, I’m the one that has to kiss her.

Robert McHatey

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

I meet Rob Heppler 2 years ago. We wearing hoodies in 110 degree weather so, the bond was instant. That’s 110 Fahrenheit for you normal people that live on the Celsius and metric systems.

Here’s where u might know Rob from (guy getting shot blog???…Weeklydrop.com???)

What your about to view definitely doesn’t represent the views and opinions of anyone at HomeRoom.

KICKS/HI has the same ownership as ST. ALFREDS in Chicago. There are 2 KICKS/HI locations. One in the Ward Center and another location it shares with Leilow.

The in-house BMX frame company Black lightning can be seen on the Lupe Fiasco’s tour and in Mos Def’s garage.

I used to like ghost, until i meet him, but this tee came out before i met him, so when it did come out, i liked it. got that?!?!


You might remember this callabo from a while ago.
If you don’t recognize BTR SWT (bitter sweet) its another in house brand that has a darker motif. I like

LEILOW

Monday, March 24th, 2008

Leilow in my opinion has one of the best, if not the best selections of gear for New Casual Contemporary. Mix in some Supreme, Head Porter, Good Enough, Visvim, Neighborhood, Original Fake, and there own in house brand, and you have a synergy that could bring Captain Planet out.

Meet Sam; a true collector and Bay Areaian. As, I found out we both have a passion for vintage sears roebuck, old school Vegas ashtrays, and thrift stores.
Leilow

Original Fake
One of the few places in the USA were u can get head porter.
Visvim
Neighborhood


visit www.Leilow.com or if your in Hawaii on the island of Oahu come down to 1530 Makaloa Street. Leilow is inside the KICKS/HI store…but not for long…more on KICKS/HI tomorrow.

How to

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Before anything at HomeRoom gets designed. The first place that inspiration comes from is the fine tailor fabric shops.
this is just 10% of the store.

The designing for winter 08 is now done. Enjoy when it drops in November.

Next week we start on spring 09 design.

No internet

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Internet in LA sucks. Its so hard to steal Internet from people. Everyone has a locked WI-FI. I just barely got online. I feel like its going to cut out any second so, i have to keep this short.

So what are we doing in LA?

Eating Vegan food? Yup…if u haven’t had vegan basics, then your not missing much. Imagine a bowl full of bark and sesame seeds and that’s what my dinner tasted like last night.

What else are u doing?

We’re putting the finishing touches on winter 08. As always, its going to look great.

When are u coming back?

Wednesday we’ll be back home and then off to Hawaii.

Back in LA
