Мишка x Harvey Comics Capsule Collection!

Мишка x Harvey Comics Delivery 1, Available Now!
Hello all, and welcome to the first installment of our newest collaborative capsule collection. Crack open the metaphorical mylar bag, turn the proverbial front page, and dig right into Мишка x Harvey Comics. Founded in 1941 by publisher and writer Alfred Harvey, Harvey Comics is responsible for some of the most enduring characters not only of the medium, but of American pop culture. The most universally known is, of course, the iconic Casper The Friendly Ghost, but starting in the 1950’s Harvey published comics featuring characters like Richie Rich, Hot Stuff the Little Devil, Wendy the Good Little Witch, The Ghostly Trio, and Casper’s compatriot Spooky.
Though their lighthearted comics were targeted to younger readers, they nonetheless were consistently fixated on traditionally dark subjects like ghosts and magic. In addition to the characters themselves, it’s this concept that we hold very near and dear to our hearts, and indeed one that has informed the brand since day one. Being able to work with the Harvey properties has been a real privilege, and we’ve made the most of the opportunity by producing a truly vast collection.



You’ll be able to get the whole thing by the end of 2012, but today we’re launching the first part of the collection in the form of two snapbacks, five tees, and five tanks which feature Harvey’s signature characters, Richie and Casper. You can get a solid taste of the looks and colorways we’re employing with these characters, as well as the different Harvey inspired typography we’ve cooked up. Both Richie and Casper get their own snapback, with differing takes on the “Мишка” type and character specific colorways.
They’re simple, classic, nostalgia inspiring versions of the characters you know and love. When it comes to the tees and tanks, you’ll be able to get a look at the Harvey team coming face to face with the iconic images of our brand, whether it be in the form of a Keep Watch hat on Casper, or a little surprise for Richie featuring Simon, Lobster Roll, Kill With Power, and Death Adder hand puppets. Also be on the lookout for the Мишка x Harvey Comics custom tags, which feature Harvey’s patented Jack-In-The-Box logo as seen on the fourth tee. These twelve items are available now, and look out for more stuff soon like hats, tees, polos, and jackets!

The-Drum's Sense Net EP

Мишка Presents The-Drum's Sense Net EP [Free Download]
Mysterious broadcasts emanate from between the twinkling lights of Chicago, a magic hour sector in slate grays and black asphalt. Ominous yet inviting, these sounds feel like transmissions from a future where man and machine are woven together. Nervous, punch-drunk and... groovy.
This is The-Drum. A production duo made up of Jeremiah Chrome and Brandon Boom, The-Drum has been crafting their delectably queasy brand of R&B since late 2010.

Click image to play video

Between their own releases, including this January’s Heavy Liquid EP, and production for artists like Haleek Maul, The-Drum have been attracting an ever growing following in their home town and beyond. We’re happy to announce the release of their new EP, Sense Net, out on Мишка Records right now.

With 4 brand new tracks, as well as remixes from Supreme Cuts and Neuman, Sense Net will transport you to a place that’s part dancefloor and part dream, where smoky synths dip and weave from the darkness and hips shake with seductive malice. Transmission received. You can also catch The-Drum performing with Supreme Cuts at Glasslands this Friday.

Мишка For High On Fire T-Shirt

• High On Fire Tee ($32.00)
Like a sludge whirlwind straight from the pits of hell, heavy and punishing, flailing back through time and torment, epic battles on the world's largest stage, and the thunderous death destruction of pitiless ur-beasts, cleaved in twain with ancient axes under a cloak of wyrms, a discordant flapping ceiling of wings and lament, this bong ripping High On Fire tee has arrived to fuck. You. Up.
All year we've been blowing our heads to the mystical mastery that is High On Fire's latest album, De Vermis Mysteriis, a concept album full of Lovecraftian goodness, deceased Jesus twins and, y'know, doom metal stuff. To pay a proper tribute to it, lest it consume our souls, we recruited artist Andrei Bouzikov to draw up this sexy, stonery, sludgy shirt featuring the tokin' demon and a Simon-ized bong. Wear it while listening to De Vermis Mysteriis for maximum power.

Moving Sale At Echo Park Store

The Echo Park Store Is Moving, and We're Having A Crazy Sale!
Yes folks you heard me right! I guess it would be pretty hard to mishear me considering I'm typing. But the rumors are true, the Echo Park location will be shuttering its doors later this Summer. But don't worry just one second Los Angeles, because we are most definitely sticking around your city. Where? Why, we'll never tell. Until it's appropriate. That would be bad if we kept it a secret forever. But trust me, you'll be very pleased.
Nevertheless, we want to celebrate the Echo Park location that has treated us so well, and what better way to do that than to have a crazy - maybe even a krazy with a "k" - SALE starting right now, and running until the store closes up for good. So not only is it a long sale, but the savings are ridiculous - all the Мишка items in the store are getting marked down by 50%! Holy schnikes! I'm pretty sure we've gone crazy you guys, not gonna lie. So truck on over to the Echo Park store and get your purchase on, before we change our minds!

Inked Magazine Tee Release Party

Inked Magazine Tee Shirt Release Party at 350 Broadway
We partnered up with you or your most heavily tatted friend's favorite magazine, Inked, to design an awesome new shirt! In fact, it was so awesome that we decided we HAD to have a party to celebrate it, and what better place to party than the home of the magenta glow, 350 Broadway. We've had tattoo events there in the past (shouts to the the girl who got the Bozack tat!), so the Inked Tee launch party should go swimmingly.
Everyone will definitely be basking in the glory of the Lamour Supreme designed tee, which casts our very own Cyco Simon as a needle slingin' badass doing work on a scantily clad lady with the harshest of haircuts. If you don't want that image staring out at the world from a prime position on your chest, I don't think we can be friends anymore. I'm not too worried though: I'm sure I'll see everyone at 350 Broadway on Friday, July 27th, to celebrate the pairing of Мишка and Inked!

There is of course the tie-dye take on the Keep Watch, with all it's swirly, pupil dilating goodness.
If you're looking to roll a little more low key, then you can blend in with the Keep Watch Camo Tank, or match the color of the blazing hot hellfire the sun is raining down upon us with the Keep Watch Red Tank. Then, just because we could and it's awesome, we brought back an old favorite, the Krueger-licious Nightmare Visions and threw it on a tie-dye tank. Available now. Bang Bang.

Мишка For El-P's "Cancer For Cure" T-Shirt

• El-P T-Shirt ($32.00)
For a year that's been all about El-P, it sure has been hard to show your love on the streets. All that changes today. Whether you got into it by listening to his LP (lol!) Cancer 4 Cure, or his production on Killer Mike's R.A.P. Music, or performing on the R.A.P. Music tour, or performing on national TV with Zola Jesus, or his awesome videos, or... well, it's safe to say the El-P fever has swept the nation.
El-P has one of the coolest logos in all of rap, a spectral bird that was originally designed for the young Jaime Meline by famed artist and sculptor Alexander Calder. After making appearances on the covers of both I'll Sleep When You're Dead and Cancer For Cure, the bird has now made it onto a shirt as put out by yours truly. Available now. Suckas.

AMDISCS Showcase w/ Black Marble, Honeydrum, and more!
We've had a long and fruitful relationship with AMDISCS, one of our favorite labels - who also run a great blog - so it comes as no surprise that we're co-presenting another one of their showcases next Saturday. You'll remember that one of their past editions was actually held in our 350 Broadway location.
This time it's out at Big Snow Buffalo Lounge in Brooklyn, and features six great AMDISCS artists including Black Marble, Black Jeans, Honeydrum, Lingerie, Beggars in a New Land, and a DJ set by Spirit Guide. All that for only $7? The future is a crazy place...

@Nike Air Jordan 6 'Olympic'

With the Air Jordan 6 ‘Olympic’ releasing in less than 2 weeks we thought we’d give you one last look at this summer’s hottest shoe. This shoe is most notably known as the sneaker Ray Allen wore en route to obtaining his only Gold Medal in 2000. That same year this sneaker released for the first and only time (so far), selling out immediately. Now 12 years later it’s time for this piece of history to return, staying fairly true to the OG pair with only a small difference in midsole color blocking. The Olympic VI’s will release July 7th, just in time for you to lace ‘em up while you watch team USA go for the Gold. Check out more pics below........

Adidas' Shackle Kicks Designer Speaks Out, Reveals His Motivation

Fashion designer Jeremy Scott is defending his image in light of Adidas shelving his controverisal Roundhouse Mids sneakers and revealed where he got the motivation from.

Scott informed his 100,00-plus Twitter followers he gets motivation from childhood memories and toys.

"MY WORK HAS ALWAYS BEEN INSPIRED BY CARTOONS, TOYS & MY CHILDHOOD...," he tweeted June 19th as a caption to a stuffed animal monster who appears to have similar shackles as the shelved Roundhouse Mids sneakers. (Jeremy Scott's Twitter)

Less than a week since they were previewed, Adidas shelved the kicks' production.

German sports apparel maker Adidas has withdrawn its plans to sell a controversial sneaker featuring affixed rubber shackles after the company generated significant criticism when advertising the shoe on its Facebook page. The high-top sneakers, dubbed the JS Roundhouse Mids, were expected to be released in August, according to the Adidas Originals Facebook page. "Got a sneaker game so hot you lock your kicks to your ankles?" a caption below a photo of the sneakers read. The June 14 post prompted plenty of criticism from around the Web, with many of those commenting saying they felt the shackle invoked the painful image of slavery. (CNN)

New York rap veteran Talib Kweli publicly went after Adidas over its kicks this week.

"WTF @adidas sneakers with SHACKLES? Which morons approved these? Do better. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2160977/Adidas-unveiling-new-trainer-orange-shackles-like-worn-black-slaves.html," he tweeted June 18th.

"@NickNoir @adidas the sneakers are historically ignorant. Are their more offensive things in the world? Certainly"

"@NickNoir @adidas aggressively markets to urban. They should know better & be more sensitive. So should the artist. Wack." (Talib Kweli's Twitter)

Monday (June 18), Adidas took a firm stand to defend its company's integrity.

Adidas is defending its design for sneakers with orange ankle bracelets and chains, despite criticism from bloggers and Facebook users that the shoes resemble shackles worn by African slaves. "The design of the JS Roundhouse Mid is nothing more than the designer Jeremy Scott's outrageous and unique take on fashion and has nothing to do with slavery," an Adidas spokesperson said. "Any suggestion that this is linked to slavery is untruthful." Jeremy Scott's past designs for Adidas have featured panda heads and Mickey Mouse. (Black Youth Project)

UPDATE: Adidas Unlaces Shackle Kicks, Shelves Controversial Sneakers

Popular sneaker company Adidas has untied plans to release a controversial sneaker, the Jeremy Scott Roundhouse Mids, this summer in light of heated reactions from consumers.

Less than a week after the shoes were previewed, Adidas has shelved them for good.

Tensions initially flared when a sneak peek of the kicks surfaced last week.

Last Thursday, the promotional team posted a photo of the kicks- which are expected to land in August- on its Facebook page. The problem that so many fans have taken up with the Jeremy Scott-designed shoe is not its basic functionality, but rather its design: The shoe features a bright orange, shackle-like element that many associate with slavery. Upon posting, Adidas received an influx of outraged responses from the Internet and fans everywhere. The number of comments and criticism got so bad that the brand removed its original offending post from its Facebook page. However, that doesn't eradicate the issue that the shoe still exists. (Philly)

Talib Kweli Rips Adidas Slavery-Like Shackled Kicks, "Which Morons Approved These?"

New York rap veteran Talib Kweli is not keeping quiet on Adidas' upcoming, controversial JS Roundhouse Mid shoes and has publicly gone at the iconic sneaker company.

Kweli resorted to Twitter to swiftly attack Adidas for approving a product suggestive of slavery.

"WTF @adidas sneakers with SHACKLES? Which morons approved these? Do better. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2160977/Adidas-unveiling-new-trainer-orange-shackles-like-worn-black-slaves.html," he tweeted June 18th.

"@NickNoir @adidas aggressively markets to urban. They should know better & be more sensitive. So should the artist. Wack."

"@Laxincat11 news flash. ALL should be offended by insensitivity to the slave trade, white OR black slave trade."

"@Laxincat11 newsflash- African slave trade built America & blacks twice as unemployed as whites today. Remove your head from your a**" (Talib Kweli's Twitter)

Floods of consumers struck Adidas' Facebook page to lash out at the company.

Many users left comments on the page's bulletin board ripping the day-glo orange shackles, saying they are particularly offensive to African-Americans because they evoke imagery of slavery and prisoners on the chain gang. "Adidas, you should be ashamed of yourselves. The mockery of oppression that has not been overcome," posted Facebook user Dace Moore on the photo's bulletin board. Many users were calling for a boycott of the sneaker company. "Slavery isn't a fashion example," posted user Antonio Leche. "Everyone involved in this show should be fired ASAP! This is the new reason I won't buy any Adidas anymore!" User Kay Tee added: "It's offensive and inappropriate in many ways. Not to mention ugly." "How would a Jewish person feel if Nike decided to have a shoe with a swastika on it and tried to claim it was OK in the name of fashion?" (FOX News)

Nike Air Yeezy 2 Gets Release Date?

Laced tells us June 9th is the drop date for the infamous Air Yeezy 2's. Read what KOF wrote about it:

"I will say this now, expect the numbers to be extremely limited. From what I have heard, Australia will only have 30 pairs of each colorway in the country. I am sure we will have more here in the US, but not by much. Keeping it very Kanye West, pricing is said to be at $350 in Australia, no word on a US price. Stay tuned and we will update you are more information becomes available. Of course, Nike hasn’t confirmed this date, but we pretty confident that it is solid."

NiceKicks Presents: Is the Reebok Question Returning?

One of my favorite kick site sites had asked the best question I've heard since Reebok signed a lifetime contract in 2001 with Iverson. Here's a fact behind that "This partnership has created the second largest signature shoe line of any athlete only behind Michael Jordan." Read the whole article after the jump..........

Via NiceKicks

The recent emergence of the Reebok Question has us looking for answers on a retro. Over the weekend, Allen Iverson brought out his rookie sneaker for a game in China, just weeks after rocking and discussing the model with MTV at a Swizz Beatz/A$AP Rocky video shoot. While on set, Iverson spoke on the ability to bring his first shoe back and the opportunity for the next generation to wear them. Though this model re-released in 2009 as an exclusive to the Foot Locker family, the recently spotted Questions differ from previous releases. Iverson’s hardwood edition features a leather toe box as opposed to suede and the pairs seen on set are packaged in the brand’s new boxes. Stay tuned for more news on the possible return of the Reebok Question.
