Yo, so everybody want’s to know how our Vegas Trip was.  Well I’m not going to really go into detail with alot of these pics, but we had a blast.  The stores out there were very nice, and if you look closely, you might see some sneak peaks from these company’s fall lines.  Here we go.  So the hotel we stayed in was the Luxor.  For us this is the best bet.  This is where we stay every time we go to Vegas.  It’s a good price & the Hotel is immaculate.  We love it.  The first pic is of the inside of the Hotel, from the balcony right outside our room, we were on the 25th floor.  This hotel is crazy, it’s like a real Pyramid.  It has sideways elevators called inclinators.  Yeah that’s what I said.

So then we go get something to eat, I forget the name of the place, but it was nice, and we set at this little thingamajig with fire coming out of the water.  Ya’ll see Leo over there in the cut.  The inside looked like a cross between a bar, and a strip club, and a restaurant and a…you get the hint, it’s Vegas.

After that, we hit up all of the Sneaker/Streetwear spots out there.  Dirtbag was driving like a maniac, man that dude is a wild boy.  The first store we went to was Undefeated, we didn’t take pics the first time we went, but we ended up going back so you’ll see the Undefeated pics later.  The dope thing about the scene out there is that all these spots get along with each other and they big each other up.  When we went to Undefeated, they gave us a map with directions to get to Fruition.  So then we head over to Fruition, and they gave us a list of all of the boutiques in Vegas.  Color coded, addresses and directions.  Dope right, we need to take note of that.  So in Fruition we see the owners of Goliath in Harlem, they are real cool.  Fruition is a wild spot, it brings back soooo many memories of the stuff you had back in the day.  We also took a pic with the owners who were also very cool.

After that we hit a couple spots on the list.  I forgot the names of the next three spots, but they were pretty dope, they all had there own flavor, one was a streetwear spot, the next was another streetwear spots but going it’s own way with the lines they carry, and then the last spot was a streetwear/consignment sneaker spot.   The killer is that Undrcrwn Fab Five shirt, I was gonna cop, but you see how big that joint is.  Couldn’t even do it.

Then we head back over to Undefeated.  I couldn’t decide if I wanted that undftd x G Shock.  Then I decided, so i went back & copped it.  You only live once right.  Lol.  The store is ridiculous, it’s so clean, and they got heat.  But one thing that we noticed, we have just about the same product when it comes to kicks.  Oh yeah, the manager, is from Detroit.  We all over the world baby, gettin’ it in.

Then we go over to Epic shoes, it’s a real dope spot in the middle of the hood.  When we were driving over there, I see a store that caught my eye.  This store had a striking resemblence to my last name.  Lol.  Then we get over to Epic, they have Nike, Alife, BBC, & all that, & one of the owners is from the D.  Once again, we get it poppin’ all over the world yo.

Then after that, we hit the town & just got drunk walking down the strip, and some other stuff, but that stays in vegas.  “That ain’t chocolate, that’s doo doo baby”  Lol!  That’s day 1, I’ll post day 2 & 3 in a couple of days.  BR, Holla @ us, it only gets better.  Peace!!!
