Found some lost jems in my stash…
For my newer fans that may not know, I’m part of a crew of DJ’s called the Almight 5th Platoon, and back in late 2007 we put out a 10 year anniversary shirt. I was sifting thru a bunch of stuff back at the old crib and found a hidden box of em.
Here’s your chance to join in on the nostalgia by pickin up a shirt here – http://djneilarmstrong.com/5pthrowback/

Above is a picture of Viktor Tell , malady creator of Happy Socks, taken by adidas’ own Måns Ericson back in Berlin during bread and butter.
adidas originals and Happy Socks collaborated for the Your Story / Consortium Series for the 2012 Olympics .
From Freshnessmag.com –
The Olympics-inspired element of Viktor’s design for the Matchplay comes from Olympic air pistol shooting, of particular interest to the Swede as it was a fellow countryman who medaled in the sport at the age of 58. In terms of styling, Viktor concentrated on the laces and interiors, adorning them with bright colors and dots (representing bullet holes from the air pistol), as well as a tongue tag printed with his likeness (“a great ego boost”). Hear the rest of Viktor’s engaging story in the video below.

This ominous box arrived at the crib –

At some point in time, most brands or products find it necessary to expand or broaden their appeal. Growth and change is an inevitable part of a successful artist or brand’s evolution. In this forum, a panel of creative individuals will share their various experiences of appealing to new audiences and markets. This discussion includes the negative aspects of expanding a brand’s reach beyond the traditional audience. The panel will be sharing war stories from their time spent trying to reach new markets. Has their process of design changed in order to appeal to newer audiences? How have they adapted their creative process in order to attract new customers?

Australia’s premier contemporary, creative-culture event, CARBON is back! Now in its second year, CARBON celebrates and explores style, design and street culture via a series of forums and side-shows.
Headlining this Launch Party is a showcase performance by indie label Fool’s Gold out of NYC and includes eclectic sets by a favourite amongst local partygoers, Nick Catchdubs (Fool’s Gold co-founder and multi-genre party DJ), plus relative newcomer and literal one-man-band Party Supplies whose handmade MPC symphonies and heartfelt stage presence blend hip-hop energy with anthemic indie hooks. Party Supplies will be joining the lineup hot off the back of his collaborative release with Action Bronson ‘Blue Chips’.
Party rocker, Mixtape DJ, founder of DJ collective ’5th Platoon’ and former tour DJ for Jay-Z, are but a few of the titles attached to DJ Neil Armstrong, another New Yorker that we’re excited to welcome to the CARBON Launch lineup.
And from local waters, Auckland, New Zealand DJ collective The ARC will share the earlier hours of the party with local producer/DJ duo Dublin Aunts, favourites amongst Hype Machine enthusiasts for their approach to electronic funk and nu-disco.

Below is a video that recaps the event , which included some of the worlds finest DJ’s on the wheels…
I didn’t get a chance to take pictures that nite so i had to “borrow” some below. Shoot, I didn’t even get to DJ the event. Trouble with the venue kept me from getting on the wheels (if you wish to know the details I would be GLAD to BLAB. ;) ) However as you see from above, the crowd didn’t miss a step.
Big shouts to DJ Daddy Dog my crewmate from the 5th platoon days, DJ Total Eclipse – my mentor, member of the X-ecutioners / MOTM season 2 , G-bo the Pro mixtape legend who was the original architect of my style , DJ Spinna – the DJ who inspired “Original” , and Questlove.
Shout out to my manager sky for putting it all together, and for Jon Wexler from adidas. Thats my manager below goofing if ya didn’t know, next to a dude that pretty much stole one of these special track jackets. Eh, its ok. He’s a fan ;)
For all y’all who have been supporting me, thank you so much. Without y’all listening I couldn’t have gone this far, and I plan to keep going.
