Last week we hosted a Nike Sportswear event at shop for Montreal fashion week where people had the opportunity to customize some clothing. We were lucky to have the embroidery and laser etch machines from the 21 Mercer shop in NYC. You might have seen them on one of Maestro Knows episode where he takes us to Nike headquarters. View here for images of the event. Bellow are a few photos taken by Nike of my some of my favorite people!

Old Goodfoot crew

Last but not least: Off The Hook Crew

The last time I saw Dan (Guns Up’s vocals) was back in my Goodfoot days. He was living in Montreal for a few months. Sometimes he would come by the shop to hang out on the stoop and keep Nick and I busy on slow days. It’s been a minute since I’ve seen Guns Up play in Montreal, so I’m pretty stoked for tomorrow’s show.  Dan don’t disappoint me and make the crowd go crazy!

Belgium’s gallery space, B.P.S.22 has scheduled an exhibitions dedicated to football and contemporary art. “One Shot” brings out the relationship that current artists hold with the world of football. There will be two works that illustrate the graduale installation of football media – a video portrait of Zidane by Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parrione and a video portrait of George Best by Hellmuth Costard. According to the press conference release, “between these two filmed works, more than thirty years have passed, marked by fundamental changes in the world, for which the exhibition presented at the B.P.S.22 is intended to be an echo through works which approach or question football and its connections.” One Shot will run from March 6th to July 11th 2010.

Last Friday, Jk, Vince, Jessica and I had our exhibition. As you might know, I’ve been working on this project for a while now. Never having picked up a painting brush before this class, the end results have made me glad that I flirted with the arts.
These pieces were inspired by photos taken by Daniel Pelissier for Society Suckers Zine. These authentics express the rawness and intensity of Hardcore’s stomping, chanting, and dancing. Each are named after influential members of Montreal’s Hardcore scene (Nick Hardcore, Benbass, Fred’Emup). The colors reflect their different personalities, and the cuts of the sneaker express their important roots to the scene.
