Rick Owens is an American fashion designer known for his edgy fashions favored by rock stars and people who like to cultivate an avant garde reputation.

Rick Owens fashion style is really big over seas. Where most can afford it i guess, haha. His styles are extremely expensive. I found these Hi-Top trainers a few weeks ago on a korean fashion site and I fell in love. How ever the price tag will make you turn your head away with the quickness. Before I tell you how much they are lets take a look shall we?

Now the lets talk about the price tag, haha. These babies will run at least $1500.00. I know right?! Totally not worth it but, they are pretty damn sick. I'll stick with alternative which can be anything from Supras and Alife to a good pair Nikes.

For the hungry!

First blog post ever? Oh Em Gee... Any way you may or may not heard of Orisue. Orisue is by far in my opinion one of the hottest urban street clothing companies to date. They aren't too much into the hype yet they have the needed exposure. There mission statement is as follows:

A piece of paper is plain and dimensionless. By carefully following a series of precise folds, that piece of paper transforms into a three-dimensional work of art and craftsmanship. The finished product reveals itself as more than just art, but as a physical manifestation of the creator’s self-expression and individuality. Once known as ORISUE, this craft is now commonly known as origami.

ORISUE applies this methodology into a similar, yet unique medium of expression—clothing. Similar to paper, fabric is plain until it is birthed with design, color, and stitching. Once these features are meticulously applied to the fabric, the fabric takes life becoming its own—revealing the creator’s lifestyle and individualism.

Rather than confining itself to any one facet of life, ORISUE is inspired by life’s many positive elements—the expression of affection, hard work, perseverance through adversity, and struggle. While ORISUE reflects its creators, it strives to embrace and represent the diverse lifestyle of individuals who make life interesting for all of us.

ORISUE is for those individuals who are driven by their passion and strive towards excellence—for that kid skating day and night, that DJ mixing at 3 in the morning, or anyone else committed to success and dedicated to becoming the best. ORISUE represents those special individuals, and in turn, their excellence represents Orisue.


If that didnt already intrigue your eye then let me share with you a pair of their jeans. I already own a couple of their jeans and the fit is great and it looks like you paid 3bills for it. Most of their jeans have a button fly and are dry clean only. The fit is similiar to the Levi 501 and if you decide or accidently wash them in the washer then it shrinks to a more slimmer fit but it isnt so suffocating like a 501.

The Sander Classic Fit from Orisue has the modern look of grey rigid selvdge but not the price.



To top off the jeans some new nikes and their terminator line.




The terminators provide that modern high top look but keep the old school vibe. None of that SB hype that everyone and their mom wants. Dont get me wrong Nike has come out with some of the sickest SB's i have ever seen but most of those sick SB's are the limited edition ones like the Dino Jr's.

Like the cool kids said:
