STORE: CRSVR
CITY: Santa Barbara, CA
SINCE: 2008
FOUNDED BY: DJ Vice, Nick Sakai, Asaf Dimant, & Mark Lawrence
PRICES: $$$ (out of 5)
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.

Bloggers are taking over the world—or at least every major city in the lower 48. We can’t even sit in a diner without some fool pulling out a huge DSLR to take pictures of his food so he can post about it later. We know that the camera is feeling heavy alongside that MacBook in your little sack (ayo!), but separating all your gear into separate bags will have you looking like you’re on some Bear Grylls Man vs. Wild steez.
Today’s Buy It Now should have you looking good while keeping all your goodies intact. With enough padded space for a laptop and your camera (plus accessories), the Paparazzi Backpack by The Hundreds is a perfect carryall. For Buy It Now info and more pics, see below…

Sure you might have had a few of them when Pharrell, Justin Timberlake, and Ashton Kutcher were wearing them in 2003, but like it or not, trucker hats are making a come back in 2009. These foam-front, mesh-side, snap back-having hats might have lost their popularity in the last couple years (unless you’re a big Ed Hardy fan), but streetwear staples like The Hundreds, Supreme, BBC, and Stussy have included them in their spring/summer 2009 lookbooks.

When street wear labels dip into the sneaker game, the results can get tricky. The Hundreds, however seem to have nailed their first foray into an overstated sneaker market with these simple, subtle Johnson Mids. You've heard about them for months, and they've released at the brand's flagship stores on the West Coast, but if you're looking to cop the sneakers with no hassle, they just went up on active. Full sizes are available, but get there quick, nothing TH lasts long.
