Congratulations to Earn and crew in Singapore on the opening of the new Surrender shop at Raffles Hotel Arcade. I can't wait to get over there and see it. Photos courtesy of pootsville.


Check out Arkitip Issue 55 which celebrates the world cup with partners Adidas and the Chinatown Soccer Club. A lot of the homies are involved including Oliver Kann, Peter Sutherland, David Mashburn and Nicholas Haggard.







We had a lot of fun last week at the PUMA SOCIAL club. Here are some outtakes courtesy of StudioBooth. See the full set of images here.

This coming Friday night at PUMA CITY, I'm teaming up with my homie Jeff Staple to present reed+rude. We're excited to host the amazing producer and dj 9th Wonder of Little Brother fame. There will also be giveaways and photographix courtesy of StudioBooth.
Entry is free but space is limited, so get there early.









The launch of the newly designed CHALK table at the Conran shop in NYC was a great success. A diverse cross section of the ping pong and design communities were represented including the legendary Marty Reisman, industrial deisgner Yves Behar and ping pong enthusiast Susan Sarandon.
There are currently 5 tables for sale through Conran. Others will live at the SPiN New York table tennis club, or you can check it out at PUMA CITY at the Southstreet Seaport this month.

The last stop on the KIN tour was Atlanta and it was a worthy finale. Here are some of the best moments captured by Jay Lewis and Emiliano Granado.

Friday June 4 marks the return of Get Down Friday night at subMercer in NYC. We'll be joined by our good friend Akihiro Yamamoto - the man behind my radio show for Tokyo's Shibuya FM. Doors open at 10pm. RSVP to getdownyc@gmail.com to secure a spot. Space is limited!
Big Boi, Yelawolf & Jay Electronica @ Shriner's Auditorium from KIN Event on Vimeo.


Ping Pong season is upon us. In addition to Friday's PT3, we will be celebrating the launch of the CHALK table, designed by our friends at aruliden (check their new website) exclusively for PUMA. CHALK follows up the successful Ultramagnetic paddle case created for PT3 two years ago.
Come by the Conran shop in NYC tomorrow June 3 from 6-8pm.


One of the best parts of the recent KIN tour that we did was linking up with our young socialologists around the country. These are the social-media dons that we empowered to help spread the word about the shows.
Our man in Atlanta, Decatur Dan, has a real nice blog and has just posted a little recap of the Big Boi show.


Also major shouts to Patrick KingMost (SF) and Chelsea & Marc (CHI).
