Another crazy T.O. weekend

Friday nite...

Saturday nite...

IRIS x LIVESTOCK recap...

So we decided to have a lil shindig apres hours on the weekend
over @ 116 Spadina Ave, to commemorate IRIS stocking @ LIVESTOCK.
Close friends & fam came thru to crack a few cold ones, observe and
critique the drop, and overall chillout.
The first shipment.
The brew.
Pete (IRIS) & Merv (IRIS)
Mike (IRIS) & Russ (LS)
Ric Notes & crew. Ghetto Gold Matt (GDFT) in the background.

That's a wrap...

Shout out to everyone that came thru on somewhat short notice...
LIVESTOCK/GDFT/REDBULL/155 JOHN & all friends & fam.
Oh, and thanks for driving ROW.

p.s. there were girls, I swear to God (fingers crossed).
p.s.s. MESSINI'S ON DANFORTH = TKO

And in today's NEWS...

Beating your kids might be illegal soon in Canada.

Watch my man Russell Peters lay it down like it really is.



If that law is passed, the score at the end of the year...
359 for the Masons, 2 for Mankind.

SNOW DAY pt.2

Up here in the northern hemisphere, November usually marks
the beginning of winter. I can't recall a time recently tho, when
Mother Nature was on point with the weather suitable for the
times. Seems like this year tho, she's on point as we're way
in the minus temps; we've already seen the first snowfall,
and it doesn't look like it's gonna let up. Unless of course,
the temp shoots up and we're back to summer in a week!?!

Ahhh winter. Time for extremely bad traffic, winter tires,
trees (lol), and pure hibernation...if you live in Canada, you
know the investment of a good gaming system; PS3 / XBOX.
It's times like this, I think automatically of my winter love,
SNOWBOARDING. I just hope Mother Nature will grant us
a good season; looks madd promising.

In the meantime, check out this clip from FIRST DESCENT.

Wieger = DOPE

After watching the new NIKE SB video, "Nothing But The Truth,"
this guy's opening trick blew me away. Halfcab heelflip, body varial
tail slide. For those of you that don't skate, that's 3 tricks thrown
into 1. By far, my favorite part of the new SB vid. Sorry BA...lol.
Technical, super long slides/grinds...this guy is up there in my books
w/ BA, MJ, Koston, and even Malto. Madd swagger...pure unsigned hype.
Here's Wieger's part from an older 411 issue...enjoy.

On another note...

Welcome back, SON!?

THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE TRUTH...

So many examples provided by this man. To watch the story of his life
and understand it, there were so many questions that he answered.
This clip shows the type of intensity and passion this man had for his
craft, truly a legend beyond his means.

RIP - BRUCE LEE
1940 - 1973





If you got more time on your hands watch these next two clips.
Although taken from Hollywood's version of his life...it shows
the common struggle of anyone trying to make something from
nothing and the adversity that will follow...PAY ATTENTION.

IRIS IS IN LIVESTOCK!!! MAD THANKS TO SKAM AND MR. G BONE FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN!

We're proud to announce that IRIS is officially in the Livestock Toronto Store. Mad thanks to Skam and Mr. G Bone for making this happen.

IRIS @LIVESTOCK NOVEMBER 24

UPDATE

Despite a temporary hiatus from the world wide web,
we come to you now at the peak of our new beginning.
Shed that old skin, IRIS has been in the lab cooking up
some goodies.

FIRST, after a quick run @ LOUNGE RETAIL, we are pleased
to announce that we will be stocking @ LIVESTOCK (T.O.)
starting this November 24th, just in time for the holidays.
Our first shipment will include some of our popular tees and
some EXCLUSIVE TO THE CUT, cut & sew crewneck sweaters,
all designed and hand sewn by IRIS.

The GUGGENHEIM Collection, our first run @ true cut & sew,
is a collection of a handfull of sweaters all unique and destinct to IRIS.
There is no repeating piece as far as color/cut; each garment is a true
one of a kind. LIVESTOCK will be stocking our first few to the public
and the rest will be made available through our site (December).

BIG up GHETTO GOLD MATT & SEVEN:30 (LOUNGE) plus
SKAM MONEY on the look and the entire LS FAM.

So there's a quick update to show you what we've been up to.
We've been lining up some moves, so keep a close eye on
the IRIS fam in the months to come, we guarantee you won't
be disappointed.

Thanks again for your patience & support.

SEE YOU @ LIVESTOCK ON NOVEMBER 24th!
