H-Town Sneaker Summit

Sunday we ventured into the H for the winter edition of the H-Town Sneaker Summit. This would be our second winter summit showing. We had a good time chopping it up with upcoming brands and past existing ones, It's always good to see so many creative DIY'ers who follow through with their art to create really cool streetwear. 

In doing this-it really makes you stop and wonder why so many Texas boutiques will support the same old "hype" brands and consistently look over established artists and brands that rep their own city/state/region....its a shame because we definitely have a lot of great designers. 

We are proud at THE FITH GALLERY to show and sell streetwear/urban gear from local and area designers--If you dropped by our booth you either saw or picked up really cool gear by locals including MadGods, Mofoz Visualz, 3rd ID, First and 15th, and Thic Threads. We whole heartedly want to thank all that came by to chat or buy local designs. You will bne the reason that Texas brands will keep it progressive in 2010.

Big Ups to Induce Clothing who we met at this past years KIXPO in Dallas--good dude. We were also impressed by DESIRED HEARTS, GRITS clothing, Simply Complicated Apparel, and Killa Vees Clothing

Highlights of the sneaker show included a dj set by one of our favorite DJ's, Squincy Jones as well as BUN B of UGK hanging out all day at the show taking pictures with anyone that asked him...real cool dude that Bun B; we also enjoyed seeing our homie ZEUS who was doing custom airbrushing. 

However, other than that there was definitely a lot less people in attendance and a lot less going on than the last time we were there. Less art, no skateboarding demo, and no b-boy circles that I saw...oh well- we still had a good time seeing some familiar faces and meeting new ones.

Anyways--we were pretty busy at the booth to run around and take a lot of pictures, so here's some pictures from before the show opened.

SMIRNOFF BE THERE in Austin

Saturday night SMIRNOFF held a party that showcased local artists and musicians as well as hip hop label- Stones Throw Founder, Peanut Butter Wolf DJ'ing a great set with what I think was some video serrato projections onto multiple screens it was puuurty cool.
Anywho--heres some pics

Folk and people from the art group MONSTERLOVE simultaneously dancing and painting on a huge canvas while local funk band FOOT PATROL jammed the night away. This is even funnier because Foot Patrols funky lyrics all surround foot fetishes and feet..anyway..yeah only in Austin.

The homie DJ JAZZ ONE was in full effect and we are looking forward to an upcoming project with him and THE FIFTH GALLERY along with some of ATX's most talented MC's in the game...more on that later.

Steel sculpture artist John Weber had many of his pieces on display at the show..which is especially awesome because we at THE FIFTH GALLERY were the first to show many of the great pieces on hand....get ya brag on...damn right.

Dancing, painting, jamming.

Foot Patrol funking it up.
