Battle At The Barrics – Round 2 [Video]

Skate culture and nightlife aren’t always hand in hand but Ottawa has found a way to bring the two together.  Lifestyle brand BadHabits has teamed up with local Ottawa skate shop Top Of The World and nightclub Babylon with Raised By Wolves sponsoring to throw a weekly cheap drinks hip-hop skate competition every Wednesday called “Battle At The Barrics”.  The event has become so popular and known throughout Ottawa that it is now sponsored by skate powerhouse brand DC.  Stay up to date with the event by the “Battle Of The Barrics” Facebook group.

MAJOR DC x New Era Blue Box 59Fifty Fitted

MAJOR DC dropped this collab fitted with New Era back in late May, but it just caught my attention.  For all of you sneakerheads out there, the whole MAJOR DC and New Era fam searched to find the exact materials and fabrics used on the Nike Dunk Low Pro SB “Diamond” sneakers or commonly known as “Tiffany’s” due to their resemblence of the Tiffany jewellery box.  This hat is by far one of the most detailed I’ve seen in the last little while.  The front and back of the cap feature the MAJOR DC “Trinity” logo and “3 Stars” logo in black, outlined in metallic silver.  The inside of the cap features MAJOR DC’s “Step-N-Repeat” logo imprinted on the satin lining, while the top button is done in silver satin, inspired by the ribbons used when packaging fine gems.
