Yeah, that "guy" is Slick. One of the founders of Fuct and famed LA graff artists. We featured that sweatshirt around a year and a half ago in Vapors.

That PE sweat came out around '01-'02. I got it after I saw Lavelle rocking one with W-Taps BDUs and jacket in the back of Asayan magazine (defunct) in Japan around then. it's a classic and still one of my best.

I put his brains all over the street sos u could see what he was just thinkin

yeah i am on there with the same screename. I missed out on any opportunities to see him when he was in nyc. my freind does pr for the company who ran the jmj adidas party and Ian was there....im so pissed.

yea nigo is laughing all the way to the bank, he has capitalize not on originality actually. i mean that bape shoe is just an af1 with a different symbol. taking what is very popular and making it his own.

i did see his house and cars in a dub mag issue a while back. on his phantom the symbol that goes up and down on the car he had it iced out by jacob the jeweler

he has some new bapes out i saw but the colorways are not as nice as the originals
