The Hundreds NY GRAND Opening
September 7, 2010

The Hundreds New York opened Friday to an anxious crowd of diehards.  We were set to open at 11am, but as anyone who was at the THSF opening can also attest to, we didn’t pry the doors open until 1pm.  I apologized to a few kids in line, “Sorry we’re opening 2 hours late.”  One guy responded, “That’s alright. I’ve been waiting 2 years for this.”

Maybe I’m just biased, but I am convinced we have the best fans, customers, supporters of any brand, streetwear or not.  Our clientele is committed, loyal, respectful, and true.  One customer flew in from Dallas to say that the one thing that sets our brand apart from everyone else is that our staff, and the people behind The Hundreds, have manners.  But you know what?  I can turn that compliment right back around to all of you out there. Respect on all sides.

5 Reasons To Already Be Excited About November
September 6, 2010

Before we start the proceedings, I will tell you right off the bat that Thanksgiving will not be 1 of the 5 events on this list. If Thanksgiving happens to float your boat, then add that to your own personal list and it will be bonus icing on the cake! I like turkey and whatnot, but these 5 things just trump it in my book, so it didn’t make the cut.

Some lists cop-out and avoid controversy by not putting their items in order from least to most-excited-about, but I will be doing just that! You deserve to know it and they deserve the recognition! Let’s get to it!

5. Black Friday- November 26th

I love this day! I truly do! I have worked in retail for a handful of years and that experience has afforded me with a great appreciation for the chaos-entertainment that day provides! Nothing makes me smile quite like seeing “civilized” people get all primal and fight over mediocre DVDs and their children’s Christmas gifts! Can’t wait!

4. Lil Wayne Gets Out Of Prison - November 5th

I didn’t buy Wayne’s last album- Rebarf… I mean, Rebirth. That doesn’t make me less of a loyal fan, just a different kind of loyal fan. I prefer great hip-hop artists to do what they do best, which is make great hip-hop music. So when Wayne decided to make subpar rock music, my wallet didn’t open. Sorry buddy! Fortunately for other like-minded individuals, we will get a hip-hop album from Weezy soon after he gets out the clink! Some rumors suggest that his new album Tha Carter IV will be released the day he does, but my sources (a.k.a. my common sense) say we are going to have to wait at least a short while! In the meantime, make sure to get your Lil Wayne’s World tee from The Forest Lab!

3. Conan Makes His Triumphant Return To Late-Night TV – November 8th

It’s old news that Conan got screwed over by NBC, so anyone in their right mind should be excited about seeing Conando return to TV screens this November! It’s impossible that TBS could treat him any worse and all signs point to him getting the proper network respect, so Conan will be free to do what he does best- say crazy stuff that’s crazily hilarious!

2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 Soars into Theaters- November 19th

The last 6 Potter movies have all consistenly been of high quality, with each one being better than the last! When the clock strikes midnight and the 19th is upon us, I will be in the nearest theater with my 3-D glasses on and a goofy-grin painted across my face!

1. New Kanye West Album – “Dark Twisted Fantasy” – November (TBD)

Even the Kanye album I liked the least (808’s & Heartbreak. Easily!) is better than most albums goons put out nowadays, but when ‘Ye decided to make his triumphant return to hip-hop, reason for excitement was a guarantee! Kanye’s post-808’s guest verses on tracks such as the Clipse’s “Kinda Like a Big Deal” and Drake’s “Forever” gave fans hope that he would eventually spend more quality time with hip-hop! The album’s working title Good Ass Job has transitioned into yet another working title- Dark Twisted Fantasy, so don’t be surprised if Kanye changes his mind again before his 5th album is released in late November! Expect production from legends Pete Rock, RZA and Q-Tip, plus plenty of beats from the Louis Vuitton Don himself! Reported features on the album include Kanye apprentices Kid Cudi & Big Sean, along with the Clipse, Rick Ross and Jay-Z. After hearing “Power”, its remix and the just-released “Devil In a New Dress”, I believe it’s safe to say that this is a shoo-in for album of the fall!

PRE-SALE: The Forty-Five
September 1, 2010

I think, by now, we’ve established that “Only Kings Have Rings”. Obviously, we’re hardcore Kobe Bryant fans but we know and respect those who came before the Black Mamba. It’s on this train of thought that we decided to expand the line of “Only Kings Have Rings” tee’s to include an exclusive collection of past and contemporary Kings with Rings from the National Basketball Association. Now, if we’re all on the same page, we’d like to introduce “The Forty-Five” - inspired by His Airness, Michael Jordan!

“The Forty-Five” is available in white, red or black color ways and is currently on PRE-SALE which includes FREE shipping. The tee’s ship September 15th.

This is just the beginning. More “Only Kings Have RIngs” tee’s will be released throughout the season so stay tuned. What King would you like to see next?

For now check-out the short film below of artist Matt Cory as he brings King Jordan to life via a time-lapse video. Feel free to share.
