King Kog is Moving
Last summer we spent a very hilarious 2-hours at King Kog so that Joshua could buy one of the “Campy means Bling Bling Bitches” tees. Gina was a sweetheart and didn’t think twice about Joshua’s mildly shady hour-long phone conversation with PayPal convincing them to up his daily limit – he had lost his debit card and was trying to get away with just a PayPal card for most of the summer. If any of your friends try this route, I strongly advise against it, its a pain in the ass for everyone! With that said, King Kog will be moving from its highly productive closet-sized space on Marcy Ave to 455 Graham Ave in Brooklyn, leaving the shop closed from Dec. 28 – Jan. 1

Tires Of Fire skid competition in Auckland, New Zealand got some local news coverage. It’s pretty funny to see something like this make the news. 19 year old Ken White blew away last years record of 103 meters (338 feet) with a world record skid of 270 meters (885 feet).

He has done artwork for companies out there including Staple, Alife, Hellz Bellz, and Stussy.
