Cut&Paste : Winner

Last night was awesome! Thanks Cut&Paste for putting on such a good show.

This was our first time attending a C&P event. The last few times C&P was in town, we never got to come and spectate. It took an invitation for Anh Nguyen to come and compete for the whole team to come witness AN AMAZING EVENT. Don’t sleep on this event; its wildly fun, and if you haven’t been before, the next design battle will be in LA  (TBD) and London on April 26th.

Last night, Anh Nguyen competed in the 3D Design battle. The design challenge was to design an alternative form of transportation in 20 minutes, which includes modeling, rendering and any post-production graphics. At the end of the 20 minutes, he needed to have two final renderings of your design. It should visually communicate that it’s an alternative vehicle on its own.

It was definitely a nerve wrecking battle, considering the amount of talented people under one roof. We all felt nervous as spectators imagining how Anh felt in the hot seat. In the end, Anh took 1st place with the design of the MAGIC CARPET.

Jordan XI “Concords”

I remember the last time the Jordan 11′s came out I was a freshman in High School. During summer school my good friend Duy took me to the Nike employee store in Beaverton. His uncle had a design connect at the time. Back then when you had access to the employee store you were the coolest kid, Everything Nike was 50% of it’s MSRP value. I remember buying a pair of Concords for like 70 bucks. They had the all white colorway and the Black & White colorway at the time. — All i know is I regret not picking up two pairs at the time. One to stock and one to rock. —

Well the wait is over Nike finally re-released the Jordan Concords again at the end of last year! I managed to get my hands on a pair at full price. Here are some photos.

I’m over editing videos

So nearly a month from today I flew to Portland Oregon to see family and to attend the 2nd Annual NW SNEAKER EXPO at the Roseland Theater. We were invited to sell some CS gear and to shoot a feature video. A day ago I finally finished editing the feature and wrote a recap – summarizing our experience. Here is the video I made–

I’m literally done filming and editing for at least a month! HA!

Spotted in the wild

Bro and I went sneaker shopping this weekend. Its too bad we didn’t get a hold of those “CHI Jordan X” Wanted them so bad. So Sad. If anyone knows how I can still get a hold of a pair let me know.

Anyway, the benefit of hooking folks up with our sticker is that it’s refreshing to randomly spot it on the streets. Someone that knows about CS was here once. THANKS ANONYMOUS STICKER, STICKER.

Beanie Business

So we’ve been sampling beanies from a few different resources. Working hard to really get what we like. I think we’re getting close to something we are proud of and can sell to the general public! stay tune.

Patch Addiction

Ever since we’ve been toying with the idea of making custom leather patches to place on the back of our sweaters. We have gone a bit mad in designing new variations for upcoming beanies and hats that are yet to come.

Creative Session Leather Patch Ideation
3 options we're debating on.

I am really drawn to the last version with the bear integrated into the cross. Something about that bridges the space for me. Our fans all voted for option 2.

Common sense

Ever since Hova & Yeezy’s “Watch The Throne” Album has been released I’ve been hearing a little too much of watching your throne this, watch your throne that. This is an homage to the departure of the symbol of highness and keeping us grounded. We wanted to capture the idea that the throne is a temporary seat. Its a piece of furniture something you own and could discard at a certain point in your life. Now I do not want to disregard the emotions and the psychological attachment a throne has to a kings, queen or a kingdom in history but we can only fight one battle and I choose to stand firmly that its merely just a seat.
