New Premium Label, Eriffs, and Red Clay!

First of I want to welcome the newest addition to the Connoisseur fam Premium Label. We just got our first shipment in which consisted of the Premium Label X Kanye collabo tee. Yes it really is a REAL collab with Mr. West himself and it's almost all sold out. Be on the lookout in mid January when we recieve the rest of the shipment from the new line.

Also we recieved some really nice cut & sew pieces from Red Clay along with some tees and a new era from Eriffs as well.

Nigel Styled Kicks, and MTV’s Sway

Nike iD teamed up with Nigel Sylvester, Lil’ Mama, and MTV’s Sway among others to introduce the new Nike iD studio at Niketown New York. Bringing a style all his own, Nigel put on a quick demo and then got to the task at hand; designing a pair of custom shoes. Peep Nigel’s design and what he had to say about his custom Air Classic BW’s.




“Well there are 4 colors in my shoe. i started off with black as the base,
it’s just a strong color. the navy blue and white goes with my favorite
fitted hat which is the classic navy blue Yankee, NYC all day feel
meeee. The purple which is my mom’s favorite color just gives
the whole shoe POP! I have to give my lil homie Alex credit because he
helped me a bunch on this design. So in a way each color has its own
little story.”

New Calc2 Art

calc2 + truefalse (all on word) i have done that in order to protect the black and white trademark of calc2. as calc2, i will not release color work ever.

"Viking Born" this one took me eight months to make. i will never do anything like it again. it is $7,000.00



"Denial and the Mask" here is what someone else wrote about it.
"-This is the main naritive work from the show "Liar" which was Calc2's first St. Louis solo showing and his first exibihition of color art. "Denial..." defines the main notions of creative thievery and set the space. The rest of the exhibition goes on critically analyzing itself as part of the show. There are tones first that its not a solo show at all, as all pieces there had calc2, as well as another, Truefalse on the byline. Paired with other self describing ironies, displayed or in context of the space, telling on themselves is where the artist true started to show that the experience of the show is the art, and rather the rest of the art, there for purchase, is simply a byproduct mainly used as a meal ticket to provide the public with another such experence. Amazing how he has taken the concert going aspect that many of his fans are so much more used to seeing him in, and flare that out on all that chose to see one of his gallery showings."- girl.
$1,350.00


"Furious"
