last week thursday i was hired by kicks hawaii to shoot the official hawai`i jump off party for the new Vans Shoes X Kicks Hawaii X DQM X HUFSF half cab collabo shoe. a few of my favorite people were out and in full effect at the launch party at thirtyninehotel, and the legendary DJ j-rocc aka the funky president of the world famous beat junkies was there putting his special aural blend in everyone’s ears.

i snapped a few pictures, kicked it with a few friends, and called it a night. big ups to the kicks and DQM fam, this was the dopest thursday i’ve had in months, hopefully there will be more in the future!
