Caliroots take stock in the latest from streetwear OG Russ Karablin and his brand SSUR. “Russ started SSUR (Russ backwards) in New York, early 90s, when he also did most graphics for legendary new york brand Supreme. Now over 15 years later he is still going strong and this delivery is no different.” Our favourites are the ones they’d make you turn inside out at school.

Supreme is back open for business…..
12oz Prophet shot this short video of the line for the drop of the Supreme Spring 2010 collection.
Streetwear superpower, Supreme, recently collaborated with renowned outerwear clothing company, the North Face – teaming up to create the Anorak pullover. There are many credible outerwear brands – Marmot, Columbia, Arc`teryx and Karbon – but their decision to go with the North Face further exemplifies how serious of a force they are in streetwear. The Anorak is a fully taped water-resistant pullover release just in time for the wet and spontaneous spring weather. This red/blue colorway is just the first of the many other colorways to be released later on this week – when Supreme Lafayette graces its patrons by opening its doors again.
With the anticipation of more of the Supreme collection dropping later this week, here’s another piece of the collection to add to your wish list. Here, Supreme teams up with Champion to create a clean nylon jacket coming in several colorways with the Supreme name featured on the back.

Hey, tell us a little information about yourself. Who are you and where are you from.
My name is John Mooty and I am a senior at the University of Minnesota. I will be graduating this spring with majors in Marketing and Entrepreneurial Management so I have been very fortunate with the alignment of what I have learned and how it applies to creating and running Airtime. Although I do not have any official schooling in design, I have been able to teach myself everything I know up to this point.
What is life like up in Minneapolis? As far as music, fashion, and popular culture.
From an outsider’s perspective, I feel like it is easy to dismiss the power of the Minneapolis scene. Although it may not stack up to the likes of LA or New York, it is an extremely tight knit and growing community with a lot of history as well as growing influences.
With the rise of solid local hip-hop artists and DJ’s, new events and initiatives by Twin Cities’ street wear shops, and overall support from the community, we have really been able to find a niche in a city that just needed a reason to be involved.
Tell us a little about The Airtime Collection and the people involved.
We really wanted to create something that looked simple on the exterior but had an extreme amount of depth when it came to the concepts and ideas that actually formed the brand.
Yes, we are a company that makes tees, sweatshirts, and hats but really those elements are just the medium we have chosen to get our message across. If you read the quote on the home page of our website taken from Edward Murrow’s Box and Wires Speech (http://www.rtnda.org/pages/media_items/edward-r.-murrow-speech998.php), you can clearly see the parallels between old-time radio and the street wear industry.
I do all of the artwork but I am not the only one who comes up with the ideas. My close friends are one of the biggest reasons why this concept has so much depth. Through our conversations, ideas, and past experiences, we can each bring unique angles to the table. Most importantly, we have fun doing it.
What are some of your favorite brands out right now?
I am a big fan of simplicity when it comes to brands. Also, I am a tall guy so fit is a determinant as well. My top three favorite companies right now are Undefeated, The Award Tour, and Supreme. I pull influence from many places but watching these three are huge when it comes to setting my own game plan.
What new upcoming events or releases are you currently working on?
We are waiting on our Fall/Winter release right now, which honestly has been a pain as far as production. Our printer has run into more problems than you can imagine so we are playing the waiting game that I, myself am not too good at.
We also just released a mixtape with Pwelbs.com featuring many up and coming artists from all over the country so I am very excited to let people see the music that directly influences our company.
Last, new hat samples, events, and collaborations are in the works so we have both short and long term things to look forward to…which is nice.
What would you say are the most difficult aspects or being in your line of work?
I am a very trusting and positive individual so in my early stages of running a business, this has been a double-edged sword. On one hand, I bring a light hearted and open mind to all points of operation while on the contrary; people have taken my kindness for weakness and in turn, attempt to take advantage of it.
The fashion and music worlds are often tied together…What music artists out right now are grabbing your attention.
This is definitely true in terms of street wear. Honestly, I listen to everything on the map from CCR to Al Green to Sublime, but in terms of what I listen to on a consistent basis right now I would say A Tribe Called Quest, Nero, Kid Cudi, and Wu-Tang. These guys are so incredible and timeless that it never gets old.
As some of you know by now I go by the name Sneaker-Danglez on sneaker forums Sole Collector / ISS, NSB.org, and NikeTalk. I’ll start posting up shoes I have for sale as well as products up here as an alternative source to purchase goods from me and my business. I can set-up private auctions on eBay or set-up the deal on Sole Collector / ISS, NikeTalk, NSB.org, or Facebook if that’d make anyone feel more comfortable.
I recently sold my DS Nike Blazer SB Supreme’s in Size 9.5 at the Dead Stock Kicks x SoleFood NYC Culture Convention while I was in New York City. Below I have pasted the Listing Thread, Agreement Between Myself And The Purchaser, Info Listing, and my Image Tag. I hope you enjoy. If you would like to put any items on consignment with us we’d be more than happy to try and sell them for you. Just send me an e-mail to peter@thegoodiebag.ca. Thanks.

An interesting project is coming from Nike and Swagger. Together they worked on the Nike Terminator Hi Supreme. Not only are the colors and the materials interesting, Swagger also seems to have played with the tongue, which is different than on the regular Terminator Hi – it’s much longer. The sneakers come in a patent croc like material in turquoise and brown with tonal matching soles and laces. Also they seem to come with a very large SWG lace lock that covers most of the laces. We are also not sure if this is going to be the official packaging of the shoe, if so, they come in a chocolate box with custom Swagger chocolate. So far we do not know when these release, but we will definitely keep you posted.
