Reed Space

Reed Space is store that sells--well, cool. That's the best way to describe it, really. They carry such a wide range of street lifestyle goods that it's hard to pin down exactly what they specialize in, except to say that it's all really cool shit.

Shirts, jackets, caps, sneakers, books, magazines, mixtapes, toys, jewelry, watches--man you name it, if it's part of the streetwear culture, Reed Space probably sells it. Brands represented include 10 Deep, Acapulco Gold, Crooks & Castles, Burton, The Hundreds, Stussy, Rogue Status, Alife, Benny Gold, Diamond Supply, Freshjive, Kangol, In4mation, Mighty Healthy, Mishka...man it just goes on and on and on.

Of course the star attraction--at least in my mind--is the brand Staple, purveyors of the Pigeon (complete with poop). Staple is one of my very favorite streetwear brands--probably because I got a soft spot for pigeons, comes from living downtown I guess--which is the brainchild of graphic designer Jeff Staple, who also happens to own Reed Space.

They literally put a picture of shit (pigeon shit) on clothing people step all over themselves to buy it--including me! If that's not a ringing endorsement, I don't know what else is.

If I could only shop for streetwear at one store in the whole world, Reed Space would be it.

Highest possible recommendation.

Kid Robot Dunny Toys

Since a new Kid Robot store opened in Dallas this week to much hoopla--and don't get me started on how peeved I am that I missed out on the giveaway toy; Grrrr!--I figured I'd post up some pics of my own Kid Robot Dunny toys.

A Dunny is a cool little vinyl bunny customized by a variety of artists and sold in a blind assortment--meaning, you don't know which one you're gonna get till you buy it and open it up. It's a little like buying baseball card packs, or a scratch-off lottery ticket; half the fun is the anticipation of wondering if you got the one you really want.

FYI, the Dallas Kid Robot location is in Mockingbird Station, but if you're interested in checking it out, you might wanna go ahead and do it soon: this isn't a permanent location, it's just a Pop-Up location for marketing purposes. It'll likely be here through the Christmas season, but who knows after that.
