Daily Piff

Minutemen were an American hardcore punk band formed in San Pedro, California, in 1980. Composed of guitarist D. Boon, bassist Mike Watt, and drummer George Hurley, Minutemen recorded four albums and eight EPs before Boon's death in an automobile accident in December 1985. They were noted in the California punk community for a philosophy of "jamming econo"—a sense of thriftiness reflected in their touring and presentation—while their eclectic and experimental attitude was instrumental in pioneering alternative rock. On December 22, 1985, Boon was killed in a van accident, putting an end to Minutemen. I had to pay homage to one of my all time favorite punk bands, Minutemen, by having the homie St!zo do a 1 of 1 custom AF-1 of the "Buzz or Howl Under the Influence of Heat" EP cover. He killed it again! If your interested in listening/learning about the Minutmen check out We Jam Econo – full-length Minutemen documentary from 2005. Super dope, tells the whole story of the three guys from Pedro.

Custom Murakami Dunk By St!zo

The artist, the man, the legend, St!zo. If you guys know who St!zo is, then you know that he is a customizer of shoes and he even DJ's on the side. He entered this custom pair of dunks for a competition called "Clash of the Customizers", courtesy of Sole Collector and this is the pair he entered. It is based off of the Murakami pattern that is prevalent through many Louis Vuitton pieces and even the Kanye West "Graduation" cover.The shop owner, Aaron, was honored to have been given this pair and mega props to St!zo for hooking it up.
