After recently presenting the Basketballs of MAROK and FRANK 151 feat. STAY HIGH 149 and Bill McMullen from the “4 Elements 4 Icons 4 Basketballs” series, we can now give you an exclusive first look at the fourth and last part of the project featuring artist Mode2.

MODE2 is a “living legend” – one of Europe’s most prominent artists in general, and a central figure of graffiti culture worldwide. Graffiti’s “thinking man” has painted and exposed his work all over the globe and is notorious for his „Battle of the Year“ designs. His sophisticated illustrations make Mode2 one of the most interesting icons in streetart today. The EARTH design features a new twist on Mode’s famous character drawings: a ballplayer.

The official global release event will take part @ Overkill Shop (Berlin) on 21/01/2010.

From High Snobiety

Precinct 5 is the latest venture by Patta and united the Enplus store and the new Stussy Chapter Store Amsterdam in one space. Today we get a first good look at the interior of the new space, which is a fantastic addition to the Amsterdam retail environment. The new space is very large, especially compared to the original Patta store and comes with a super clean interior.

Recap: “The Ecstatic” listening session@ Union

Posted on May 19th, 2009 by visionist.

Good times and great music was in the air on LaBrea this past Saturday as the Mighty Mos Def kicked it hard with fans and shoppers at Union.

What better way to hear this incredible album than on a sick stereo system right?

Union LA had that covered. The classic McIntosh Stereo hi-end audio system blasted the sounds of Preservation (Prod/DJ) and with a lil help from DJ Fidel on the 1’s & 2’s played the whole album plus the originals while people shopped and kicked it on the block.

Thanks to everyone who came out to chill with Frolab, Mos & the crews from Union, Stussy & UNDFTD.

See more Frotos here!

And a post from the good folks @ Hypebeast.

Special shout out to Chris Gibbs @ Union for hosting the event and RES for Twitting and stopping by.

Video & Mos Def x Union LA Frolaboration coming soon. Stay Tuned!
