Zeak, one of the partners of the store Draft Picks posted this up on his instagram. As you can see, the new "Don't Be A Hypebeast" tee and sweatshirt go very well with a pair of Cement 3 Jordans. Thanks for the support from Zeak and the rest of the crew at Drat Picks, Make sure you follow Zeak on instagram at ZeakDraftPicks973.
The new version of the Don't be a hype beast design is available in crew neck sweatshirts and t-shirts. I'm excited for these and think they look good, especially if you're a Jordan sneaker head. If you're not, it's still a pretty fresh tee. These are also available on the Karmaloop Kazbah site.
This past Saturday was Sneaker Con at Basketball City in Manhattan. It was a cool event and I was excited to showcase the new Branded Baron items. Awesome indeed. Thank you for everyone who came out, stopped by the table to say hello, buy a Branded Baron shirt, or both. I appreciate the support. Below are some pictures from that day.

The new Branded Baron items are coming real soon! You may find out that tomorrow all the new items will be up for sale on the site and the Karmaloop Kazbah. Hmmm. Sounds awesome. The "Don't Be A Hypebeast" crew neck is just one of the sweatshirts that will be available. Yes, it's straight up stunningly fresh. I'm excited and ready to explain more of this release.
Summer time is right around the corner and it's time to get that "New New" wardrobe. Here's a glimpse of a new design, but let me tell you that is not the final colorway. I will share with you that there will be tank tops coming out in more than one color. WHAT?! Yea, I'm making sure you're stunningly fresh this summer.
This past Saturday was the Dunk XChange and it was cool. I continued to get the word out and sold shirts, but I'm not a fan that it was held at Hiro Ballroom. I felt that every vendor was too close to each other and it wasn't as easy for people to move around. Regardless, it's going to get pack one way or another, but it seemed like all the people that came through had a hard time walking around and could not see everything. The venue was definitely more appropriate for performances, which I like that Dunk XChange can provide that. I feel Crash Mansion was a better venue, but maybe that's me.

I did have fun and did get to meet new people. The performances were cool and the majority of them were on point and enjoyable. In the video recap, you only get a glimpse of what you missed. Eric Sosa(former Mtv2 Sucker Free Freestyle winner) came by the table and he gave me his mixtape for free. I was ready to buy it, because I'm a fan of music and good artists, and that was cool that he gave me his mixtape "RHYME & NOODLES Vol.2". Fred the Godson did his thing and while I was setting up, he was doing soundcheck so I had a preview of his set. Cyhi the Prince's performance was cool too. Pusha-T had everyone watching. I don't think many people were trading or selling during the main performances. I definitely vibed out to what was going on.
Overall, I had fun. Some things could be improved, but that's like everything else. I have to thank my boy Chi and Ruthie for coming through. Shout out to my girl's cousin Ted for stopping by as well as Jamal. I look forward to attending more Dunk Xchange events. Check out the video recap and the pictures.
