To document their latest Spring 2014 campaign lookbook, Stussy reached out to Italian photographer Francesco Giusti. The connection to the vibrant music and Rastafari culture of Jamaica has always been at the core of the Stüssy brand. Through friendship with the family of Peter Tosh, Francesco was able to gain access to Jamaica that most outsiders are not permitted. Living on the island for more than two months, he worked daily with a local Rastafarian to meet local personalities and capture their portraits.There’s definitely a lot of dope pieces in Stussy’s latest collection, Stussy’s entire Spring 2014 collection is now available at flagship locations and online.

On Tuesday, February 18th, on the floor of the Agenda Show in Las Vegas, Reebok Classic launched its new “Retro Shop” concept to everyone attending the trade show. Similar to the popular Retro Shop videos featuring everyone from Shaquille O’Neal, Shawn Kemp, Lil’ Duval, DJ Drama that Reebok has released recently to support the Shaq Attaq purple/yellow and The Rail launches, Reebok Classic created an actual barbershop on the floor of the show, which proved to be the most popular raucous booth at the event. The Retro Shop was manned by Peter Graham (Rick Ross’ personal barber) and Shawn “Shizz” Porter (who boasts clients like Usher, Will Smith, Forest Whitaker) who gave cuts and shaves to walk-in’s and invited guests to get laced up with Reebok’s top retro releases, like The Rail, Big Hurt and the Kamikaze I. Everyone including Swizz Beatz, Rick Ross, Cam’ron, French Montana, Travi$ Scott, and Kid Ink stopped by to get a quick shave, hang out and support the launch of Reebok Classic’s Retro Shop. Reebok also had surprise guests stop by to say hi, including T.I., Bow Wow, Jim Jones, Paul Wall, Stevie Williams and Slow Bucks. With DJ Drama spinning in the Retro Shop, the guys freestyled a bit with mics in hand and addressed the crowd outside the booth, causing a huge commotion on the floor.
