the good...the bad...the hate...
- From the look of these picture,it look like diamond got the best looking store on Fairfax.Looks dope! - GORILLARMS
- sick, can't wait to buy shit bearings, shit wheels and a fashionable hat.stoked. - subroku
- They should call it "THE DIAMOND EMPIRE"
..all joking aside, big up's to the players involved those homies are the real deal regardless of how the store goes.
Good Luck! - Dondre Dickanina - fuck "boutiqes" - Anton
- I'm not trying to claim that Diamond hasn't been around forever or whatever. I'm not saying that Diamond isn't a legit company that has deep roots in skateboarding. Sure, I've purchased some of your products before and I really didn't care for them. But that's not what I'm curious about.
I'm more interested in the street wear issue. From what I see, I think that more skate companies are trying to get into that market than vice versa. For example... Supra with their "non-skate" bullshit. I could be wrong though.
You're right, street wear probably is a small market, but one that's probably more lucrative than selling bolts. - Stand and Deliver - The owners of Mighty Healthy are skaters and Crooks and Castles are friends
of the people at Diamond. The Crooks and Castles people have been involved in skateboard
clothing for a long time "Elwood" and one of them still works at Vans.
There is alot that most of you don't know about the streetwear brands out there.
Mighty Healthy = skaters
Hundreds = Skaters
Fucking Awesome = Jason Dill
Rogue Status = Rob Dyrdek
Huf= Huf
I can go on and on.
I am not trying to defend whatever it is that streetwear is, but the companies that
I know in streetwear are all run by skaters or people that use to be in the skate
industry in some way or another.
Streetwear.... at least the good shit is pretty much just higher end skate clothes made
by skaters/artists that don't have the money or resources to start a big mainstream skate clothing
company like Volcom or Krew. - Shindigger - nick hired one of hell of an interior desginer.
diamond shop > all fairfax shops - urbn - strange.
if that's the case i would expect it to resemble stores that are already out there...
oh wait! - louiearchibald

turf wars...
However, just as quickly as the city was to put the skate-stoppers back on, the vigilantes were even quicker to remove them again. This turf war between the city and skateboarders has been going on for months. "
Mighty Healthy x DC...
Mighty Healthy was recently apart of DC’s Double Label™ Project in which DC joined forces with some of the industries top players to make a shoe. As a result Mighty Healthy has been featured on DC’s website which has photos, product info, and a short video about the guys at Mighty and the design of the shoe.
Fucking Awesome @ Caliroots...
Caliroots recently received a shipment of Fucking Awesome. We don’t usually see very much from Fucking Awesome, but when we do they usually show us some nice pieces. As of right now you can only cop these tees at the Caliroots location, but if you can’t make it down you’ll be able to pick some up on their website next week.

Leroy Jenkins Spring + 1 Fall Sneak Peak...
We’ve shown you a few pieces from Leroy Jenkins Spring Collection already, and here we have a few more plus one from their Fall line. Here we have Leroy’s “Wolf” tee with two wolves covering the inter shirt, and their usual flower print covering the bottom right portion of the shirt. They also have taken their flower/ fruit design that they’re known for, and put it on a pair of cargo shorts giving them an almost camo apperance a very nice touch. Last but not least we have a sneak peak at their Starter Jacket set to be released this Fall. Stay tuned for more from LJ.

New Rocksmith @ Boundless...
Boundless NY has just received a shipment of Rocksmith which included a few new tees and hoodies. Staying with their mostly 80’s inspired rap theme Rocksmith keeps it coming out with a “Freaks Come Out at Night” tee, as well as new colorways of their Kid and Play tee, and Dirty Warhol reversable hoodie. The hoodie is a little to loud for my taste, but growing up on the House Party flicks I’ll be sure to cop one of the tees.

DQM 3 Feet High New Era...
Along with HUF, DQM also produced a hat to go with his “3 feet high” kicks. DQM has come out with a checkered New Era with the D logo on the front. Hopefully one will make it’s way to Rosewood (7 3/4) cause this hat is hot. Until then you can pick yours up at DQM. Stay tuned for more releases from the 3 Feet High collection.
poster size...
For our Spring Public Label we flew Thirteenth Witness out to take the photos for the shoot. All the pictures came out really well, but the group shot came out so good we decided to make it poster size for all you guys. We also took the graphic from our “Eighteen” tee, and turned it poster size as well. Both posters are 12 x 48 in. No word on when we’ll be selling them, but come down to the shop and bug our store manager Tony everyday and maybe he’ll get you one.
