Even tho’ I don’t post drops at XXL anymore they still found a way to pwn me. Robbie from Unkut forwarded me the link where they list the Hip-Hop website 100. They took a nice little shot at the kid with their faint praise…
“A heavyweight in numerous ways, always-entertaining Dallas Penn and friends chew the fat about hip-hop, sneakers, food and ever-important boozing at New York City industry events.”
Whoever wrote that shit is a cockblower. I’m glad they are entertained tho’.
So the latest industry event for me to booze it up at wasn’t really an industry event per se. NYC has a nightlife scene that intersects the entertainment industry at a myriad amount of positions. The intersection last night was where sneakers, streetwear and Hennessy Black collide. It was the 5th anniversary of Goliath NYC up in east Harlem. You might remember that spot from several SFU-NYC tour videos.
Goliath is a nice little boutique nestled into EAST 105th Street. They are understated in their signage and appearance, but if you know the haps then you know how serious they go in. The crowd that made the trek to the store were all the most ardent fans of cutting edge streetwear and design. Nike Sportswear was lucky to have the centerpiece for the event.
The crowd was live as hell and the store was retarded packed inside and on the street outside. The gift bag rumors had everyone buzzing. You get spoiled in NYC with the idea that a gift bag is the minimum requisite for coming to a hype event. I’m more interested in drinking and building with my peoples that came through. The Almighty DJ KO was up in that piece as well as the big homey Meka (2DopeBoyz).
Don’t get it twisted and think that I wasn’t still trying to come up on some swag too. Mikey Fresh hit me off with two(2) limited edition Goliath fitteds. I already told Mek that I am holding a joint for him since he sk8’d before the hats were doled out. Definitely some fly ish right here.
Happy birthday Goliath.
Now when does the holiday sale kick off?
