WHY WE COSIGN: It baffles us that in 2009, companies still don’t understand the importance of real-world and online synergy. Take sneaker boutiques for instance: Finding a dope sneaker shop is task in of itself. And harder still is finding an online store that stays stocked with the latest and doesn’t look like a GeoCities page. So when we discovered CRSVR, we knew we struck oil. This boutique’s owners understand the demand for exclusives and the need for a pleasing shopping experience. Sick brands matched with a sick in-store experience and a dope online design make for one helluva place to shop.
Meeting in ‘08 during a flight to Santa Barbara, DJ Vice and Nick Sakai immediately recognized their passion for sneakers and wasted no time setting up plans to open their own shop. Inspired by the culture they were very much a part of, these instant homies kept every aspect in mind when crafting the direction for the store. The shop features an in-house DJ to keep customers in the buying mood and a staff that has no problem answering your questions (no too-cool cocky types here). Also the lyrics to EPMD’s “Crossover” are written across the back wall, letting folks know that CRSVR will never sell out—unless your talking inventory. Zing!
BRANDS CARRIED:Nike, Supra, Five Four Clothing, Brixton, Ever Clothing, The Hundreds, Mishka, In4Mation, Orisue, Stussy, Future Heretics, Ransom Clothing, Fyasko Clothing, Dim Mak, G-Shock, and Nooka.
Read on for our interview with DJ Vice, pics of the store, and the address/web site…
Images are allover the Internet hyping Nike SBs “Ron Burgundy” Dunk Low, a sneaker that is hitting retail this month. The sneaker takes inspiration from Will Ferrell’s character from Anchorman (which we voted as the funniest movie of all time), and it looks quite nice. Unfortunately for those holding down a pair of super limited Nike SB Dunk Low Shanghais, these are almost the same thing. Does this drop the value of your kicks? Probably, but you should have skated them anyway, so file that under a “Y.P.”.
Nike SB prides itself on never repeating colorways, so the “Ron Burgundys” are kind of a way around re-creating the Shanghais. Hit the jump for our favorite repeats, ’cause keeping the O.G.s isn’t only difficult, it’s retarded.

Like Birdman, Jeff Staple knows a lot about cash money. The streetwear vet has managed to build his brand strong enough to get the attention everyone from Nike to energy drink companies, and he’s doing it by using one design: The Pigeon.
Yup, the official bird of the NYC streets, the one Staple made into a dunk has become one of the most recognizable colorways in the cool-guy world. Some say it’s merely a copy and paste, but hey the kids are buying the shit out of the Staple x [Insert Brand Here] products. With the latest collabo, a 5-panel hat with Kangol, hitting the Internets late last week, we take a look back at all the collabos Staple’s pet pigeon has shat on…
