Beautiful Losers celebrates the spirit behind one of the most influential cultural movements of a generation. In the early 1990’s a loose-knit group of likeminded outsiders found common ground at a little NYC storefront gallery. Rooted in the DIY (do-it-yourself) subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip hop & graffiti, they made art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Developing their craft with almost no influence from the “establishment” art world, this group, and the subcultures they sprang from, have now become a movement that has been transforming pop culture. Starring a selection of artists who are considered leaders within this culture, Beautiful Losers focuses on the telling of personal stories…speaking to themes of what happens when the outside becomes “in” as it explores the creative ethos connecting these artists and today’s youth.
Interviews, progress, artworks… by Barry Mcgee, OBEY, Ed Templeton, Mike Mills, Thomas Campbell, Jo Jackson, REAS….and more…

these days have been seeing some very old school kicks re-issue by NIKE, this AIR ZOOM FLIGHT was one of my fav. back to the high school days, it was SO cool , i don’t know if im wrong but i think the first player i saw wearing this was JASON KIDD, it was amazing and it was very expensive by that time like about 150-200.00 USD (they got red too but its about double the price!) and today i saw this again in the outlet, guess what its about 50.00 !
After seeing it more than 10-20 times , i finally picked up this kicks in a super deal !
