QUICK SHOT BY PHOTOGRAPHER MICHAEL BEON

THE NIGHT OF OUR COLLABORATION EVENT WITH PHILADELPHIA'S SNEAKER BOUTIQUE ABAKUS.  I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO ABAKUS RECENT EVENT WITH THE GOOD HOMIES PANDA AND THE ANLMHSE. I WAS THERE IN SPIRIT IF MY BRUDDA JMR AND BIG SISTER UZI WAS IN THE BUILDING MAKING PEOPLE SNIFF THAT SWRV SCENT. I JUST VIBED OUT  TYPING THE THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD THAT I DIDN'T PLAN ON SAYING IN THIS POST.

LOL O'WELL CALL 1-800- SWRV.BIZ

RE-CAP OF OUR ABAKUS X SWRV EVENT FROM ABAKUS

LAST SATURDAY ABAKUS SNEAKER BOUTIQUE WAS IN FULL EFFECT. EVEN WITH A RAINY DAY IN PHILADELPHIA OUR EVENT COULDN'T BE STOP FROM BEING DOPE. PEOPLE FROM PHILADELPHIA, DELAWARE, WASHINGTON DC, AND NEW YORK CAME TO SUPPORT BOTH TEAMS. I'M SURE IF YOU WERE AT OUR EVENT YOU WOULD HIGHLY AGREE WITH WHAT I AM STATING HERE, THE EVENT WAS DIFFICULT TO EVEN MOVE. WITH GREAT PEOPLE INSIDE THE BUILDING I AM HIGHLY PROUD OF WHAT WE PUT TOGETHER FOR OUR AUDIENCE THAT CAME TO LOOK AND PURCHASE THE GREAT PIECES FROM ABAKUS AND OUR SWRV MOVEMENT. THE PHOTO PROVIDED IS FROM THE ABAKUS CAMERA. AS YOU LOOK AT THE PHOTO SELECTED THE EVENT WAS A SUCCESS WITH GETTING THE SHOP FILLED ALSO WITH SELLS. WORDS FROM 1/3 CO-OWNER AND FOUNDER OF ABAKUS SNEAKER BOUTIQUE "JACKSON" THE COLLABORATION WITH OUR SWRV MOVEMENT  WAS ONE OF THE BEST EVENTS THEY HAVE EVER HAD. WE WILL BE HAVING OUR VINTAGE GEMS IN THE ABAKUS SNEAKER BOUTIQUE FOR A MONTH. HURRY AND GO COP UP, WHY WAIT.

THIS REALLY MEANS ALOT TO ME. GROWING UP IN PHILADELPHIA THERE IS NOT ALOT OF BOUTIQUES AND ABAKUS HAS PLAYED A BIG PART OF LETTING ME SEE GEMS OF OTHER BRANDS ACROSS THE GLOBE AND NOT TO MENTION WHAT THE STAFF HAS DONE FOR ME IN THE PAST . KY AND RICK HAVE ALWAYS BEEN COOL TO YOUR BOY AND AT POINTS GROWING UP I REMEMBER HOW RICK WOULD GIVE ME LESSONS ON FABRICS AND TEE'S.THIS IS NOT ONLY A DOPE STORY  , HAVING THIS EVENT WITH ABAKUS IS A HONOR.

INSPIRATION FROM CHINA TOWN: ART WORK

DOWNTOWN PHILADELPHIA IS HIGHLIGHTED WITH SECTIONS FULL OF ART. THE DOWNTOWN AREA OF PHILLY OFFERS A NUMEROUS  NUMBER OF ART OPTIONS YOU CAN VISIT DAILY INCLUDING THE ART MUSEUM, FRANKLIN INSTITUTE, PHILADELPHIA ART MUSEUM, AND IF YOU WERE HIP TO CULTURE ART YOU WOULD INVOLVE CHINA TOWN HIGHLY AS AN ART. AS SOON AS YOU WALK INTO THE HEART OF CHINATOWN YOU CAN FEEL THE CHINESE ART CULTURE. IF YOU LOOK ABOVE IN THE PHOTO PROVIDED FOR THIS POST  WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT IS A VIVID PHOTO OF PHILADELPHIA'S ENTRANCE WALKING INTO CHINA TOWN, IT'S DOPE. THAT'S NOT THE ONLY ART PIECE CHINA TOWN VALUES. WALKING INTO CHINA TOWN'S BOOK STORES, $1 DOLLAR STORES, CLOTHING THRIFT STORES, LIVE SEAFOOD MARKETS, AND MINI MARKETS WHERE THEY CARRY REAL TOKYO CANDY AND FOODS ARE DOPE. ALL OF THESE SHOPS MENTIONED HAVE A UNIQUE STYLE TO THE STORE AND THERE IS MORE THAN ONE. WITH CHINA TOWN RESTAURANTS THEY LOOK SMALL AND MAY NOT LOOK LOUD OUTSIDE BUT ONCE YOU STEP IN YOU WILL BE SHOCKED. LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO EAT IN CHINA TOWN YOU SHOULD NEVER JUDGE BOOK BY IT'S COVER, YOU WILL BE THE ONE TAKING THE LOST SO MAKE SURE YOU TAKE A STEP IN THESE RESTAURANTS.

 BUT WHAT REALLY CATCHES THE EYES OF ART IN CHINATOWN IS THE ONE AND ONLY SNEAKER BOUTIQUE ABAKUS. FOR THOSE THAT HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT ABAKUS IS  AND YOUR LIVING IN THE PHILADELPHIA AREA  YOU SHOULD GET TO KNOW YOUR CITY AND WHAT IT OFFERS. ABAKUS IS HIGHLY RESPECTED BY MYSELF JUST ON THE FACT THAT I HAVE SEEN THEM GROW INTO SOMETHING REALLY SPACIAL.THE ART AND INTERIOR DESIGN ALONE  OF THE ABAKUS SNEAKER BOUTIQUE WILL HAVE YOU APPRECIATING THE SHOP. THREE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD ABAKUS IS STILL CARING ON THEIR "ABAKUS TORCH" HIGH IN THE AIR AND BY THE LOOKS OF EVERYTHING FOR THE TEAM  THE COMPANY IS ONLY GETTING STRONGER BY THE DAY. KY, RICK, JUSTINE, AND JACKSON HAVE CREATED A GOOD THING FOR PHILADELPHIA AND  AN EVEN BETTER LOOK FOR CHINA TOWN. WHEN EVER YOUR IN THE CITY AND YOU NEED TO CATCH UP ON SOME FRESH STREET WEAR CLOTHING OR OG JORDAN'S MAKE A SPOT IN CHINATOWN TO PAY A VISIT TO ABAKUS, YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED. THE ART OF CHINA TOWN KIILS!

THE DAY WENT SO FAST I COULDN'T EVEN MANAGE TO EAT. AFTER THAT I WENT TO SEE "JOHNNY CUPCAKE" AT UBIQ. I'M NOT A FAN OF THE DUDES GRAPHIC WORK BUT I DID FEEL THE JEAN JACKET HOMIE WAS SPORTING, ALSO THE STORY OF HIS HUSTLE. HE WAS A COOL DUDE AND THE SUPPORT HE HAS FROM HIS FANS WERE CRAZY, I THINK THE LINE WAS ABOUT 3 YEZZY LINES ALL IN ONE.
