Peep the 1LoveT.O. Pop-Up shop opening up tomorrow for a one day ONLY event.
Pop Up Shop/Night Market is located @ “Nyood” (1096 Queen St. West, 2nd Floor)
It's pretty hard to describe what 1LoveT.O. is, but to some, it's merely a website featuring things goin on in Toronto. However, if you've paid attention to the grass roots/underground movement this site has created you'll notice that its more than just a website but rather a lifestyle... I've had the pleasure of meeting one of the masterminds behind the site and I can truly say that 1LoveT.O. has mad love for T.O.
Cop a tee and show your love for the city that's the coldest...
Adidas teamed up with Livestock as part of their Consortium City series to design "The Toronto." You wont find any silhouettes of the CN Tower or the Skydome (I refuse to call it Rogers Centre) on these but what you will find is a patent red leather heel tab, a darker upper and my particular favourite, the metal D-rings for the top laces. It really gives it that rugged hiking boot feel, which we all know, we need when slushing through the Toronto winter. It's finished off with Blue printed lettering highlighting both city and store. LS definitely held it down for the TDot.
This Friday, Roots Redemption will be holding their quarterly "Reunion" jam down @ Revival (783 College St.).
Based out of Markham, the guys from Roots Redemption focus on bringing back that feel good music. If you haven't been to a Roots Redemption jam then you're seriously missing out. All night they'll be spinning some Reggae, R&B, Soca, Hip Hop, Old School & House jams so there's something for everyone.
If you're looking for a good time this Friday night come out to Revival and check out "Reunion"!
Last night Reebok X Stolen Riches X Heineken X Red Bull hosted a special VIP invite only party at the Red Bull HQ to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Reebok Pump. The party which was located on Queen Street West was super exclusive and hosted performances by Kid Koala and the legendary Pete Rock. The who's who of the urban street wear scene were in attendance such as the folks from Livestock, Uncle Otis and of course the boys from Stolen Riches. 1LoveTO and Fez from What's Fresh were also in attendance and were mad cool, check out their sites if you haven't already!
The party started off with a local DJ spinning some jams until Cabbie took the stage and introduced MTL's Kid Koala who did his set and got the party started. Later in the night the legendary Pete Rock took the stage and just murdered it with a crazy set of old school hip hop jams starting with Tribe. Needless to say the crowd went bananas and the party kept on bumping into the night.
A little recap of what went down @ the Stolen Riches midnight release of the Reebok Pump 20th anniversay collabo...
So as you know I wasn't expecting to be able to grab a pair of the pumps that were gonna drop today @ midnight because I had plans around 9pm and thought there was no way I was going to be able to score a pair of these uber limited sneakers since they were only 31 pairs available in world. I guess it was fate that on the day of the drop the weather was mad crazy in the T-Dot. We're talking crazy rain and fog for the entire day! I met up with some of my hommies and then finished up all my errands by 9:30pm and decided that I had to swing by the drop and see how the camp out was gonna be like.
I get down roughly around 10pm and noticed that there was only 3 ppl in line, no joke, seriously ONLY 3 ppl in line. So the first thing in my mind is to ask these other people what size they're gunnin for and to my luck none of them were sporting my size. FRZA who is another spaceman on this site is a huge pump fan and a day earlier Fatz, FRZA and I were debating if we should campout for them. We all decided that we weren't going to be able to line up the entire day for them so when I saw that the line up wasn't too crazy I gave these guys a shout to see if they wanted to cop them.FRZA who's from the 'ville touched down and both him and I were able to score a pair of these pumps.
Check out pics of the SR Pumps below and the free collabo tee, "416 Stand Up!"
As always Hov brings that great energy and never disappoints with a solid set... The Blueprint 3 tour started off with J.Cole opening it up which then led to DC's own Wale... Wale always the crowd pleaser went into the crowd a couple of times during his set to interact with the crowd... After Wale's set, N.E.R.D. hit the stage with their new CDN member Rhea and pumped the crowd up even more... I don't know bout you but the ladies love Pharrell, which was apparent when he brought them all on stage during their performance of "Everybody Nose" and "Beautiful"... Finally, Jay hit the stage and as always the crowd went nuts, he spit a solid set and threw in some crazy classics as well as some new joints off that Blueprint 3 (go out and get that Blueprint 3 if you haven't already)... So I guess you're all wondering but already know that Toronto's golden child Drake also graced the stage with Jay... If you don't already know, I'm a big fan of Drizzy, his flow and wordplay is bananas and Jay agrees with me cause he let Drizzy do his thing for "Successful" on stage during the concert... That's big, remember this is a Jay-Z concert and he let a new artist (without a full length album, can't wait till it comes out) come on stage and do a track that has no affiliation with Jay... Either way can't say nothing bad bout the concert, just as solid as the last time I caught HOV with MJB in concert @ the ACC!
Shouts to my hommie J for the hookup, much respect...
