This winter has been schizophrenic to say the least. But Ol’ Man Winter came back this weekend to show us who’s boss. It was 12°F today! I had lunch with Brendon before he headed to Sin City (along with the rest of NYC) to attend the MAGIC tradeshow (and PROJECT/POOL). From there I felt the need to walk home for some reason. I ran into Kenzo Minami on the way, which lead to a 30 minute conversation on the freezing corner. You can’t really stand outside with Kenzo cuz he’s just too damn popular. Every 3 minutes someone came over to say hello. But it was good to catch up with homeboy. We went to Parsons together and he is definitely doing his thing. Peep his new Reebok Pump Fury and he is also featured in the “I Am What I Am” campaign.
When I finally got home, you guessed it, I was sick. Time to go into drug overload…
Oh yeah, big up to Allan from AKA who dropped off the new KR edition of AKA. Its beautiful.
The Man. The Myth. The Mack. Minami-san.
Need….chicken….soup….
The AKA strikes back. Amazing edition dedicated to KR.
Hey there – do you know if the KR edition is going to be released? Or is it simply the hotness for those with the hook-ups?
And, of course, your “blogging” is fascinating. Keep up the good work!
This is a correction as per Allan from AKA:
thanks for the blog post… i just wanted to make a small correction since news is getting out, and we’re being flooded with emails about it. that book is actually featuring KR and designed by Alife. we only
art directed, handled preproduction, and published the project. regardless, it is not AKAv2, which is currently in the works and scheduled for late this summer. though we plan to conceptualize and design most of the titles we release, we can’t take credit on the KR book. it’s just a cool project we believed and decided to help make happen.
So there you have it kids. Stop bothering AKA bout the book! Bother Alife! haha….
Book ships 2.28.
i gotta pickup those reebok they have been calling me in my sleep, found a spot where they are cheap too, hope they got my size.The graphics are nuts.
Thanks, Jeff – I appreciate the quick response!
