The Happenings

Not to be confused with the movie, The Happening, which was written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan in 2008; I'm talking about those FAZE happenings boys and girls. Let's not get it twisted. Damn, I went off on a tangent with that one...let's get back to the topic on hand. We are excited to announce that we've been added to another store - 440 Brannan Studio (see pictures below). This store is located at...well, you guessed it 440 Brannan Street in San Francisco. Go get your hands on the latest FAZE gear there. If you happen to be on the other side of the City, go grab some FAZE gear at Medium Rare Boutique on Ocean Ave as well. Another store will be added in a month or two but we'll keep that one on the hush until it is close to being finalized.

This past weekend we also had a little photo shoot for the newest threads we'll be offering online and in-store. Some of our newest items include the "War Angel" and "City of Dreams" tees and the limited edition FAZE quilted hoodie. Stay on the look-out for those because trust me, they're hot!!!

Last but not least, FAZE has created a fan page on Facebook. You can access the FAZE fan page at the following link - http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=127844&id=191816869340&saved#/pages/Faze-Apparel-LLC/191816869340?ref=mf. Go support that! As a token of appreciation, we will also be releasing a holiday promotional code to get the latest and hottest FAZE gear at a discount. Stay tuned because we will be releasing that code shortly. 'Til next time, stay FEARLESS and ZEALOUS my people!!!

All In A Day's Work

What's up peeps?

Sorry for the brief hiatus from the blogging...will you ever forgive me? Naw, in all seriousness, those Faze boys have been wrapped up in shows, new product development, and just living life. Hang in there with us and you will definitely reap the fruits of our labor. It will all be worth while because we have a show or two lined up before year-end and we also have some new Faze gear that we know you'll love.

The purpose of today's blog entry is to share some videos and pictures from our last shows in case you missed them (Indie Mart and Preconceived Notions); along with some pictures of the long awaited, LIMITED EDITION Faze Quilted Hoodie!!! This Faze Hoodie along with some new tees will be available online at www.fazeapparel.com within a week or two. Stay on the look-out for that. Until next time, stay FEARLESS and ZEALOUS EVERYDAY!!!

A Resuscitation Of Boxing?

Many of us may have seen the dismantling of Miguel Cotto by Manny Pacquiao this past weekend. With this stunning win, "Pacman" becomes the first boxer ever to win a championship in 7 weight classes. This clearly cements him as one of the greatest boxers of all time. This is not to discredit his genuine personality and rag-to-riches story, which has captured the hearts of millions and has catapulted him to an international icon. Pacquiao is recognized as the best pound for pound fighter and has clearly added a spark and renewed interest to a sport that dates back centuries.

On the other side of the coin, we have another great fighter, Floyd "Money" Mayweather, who many consider brash, cocky, obnoxious, self-centered and the list goes on and on. Despite what many may think or feel about Mayweather, he is also one of the top fighters of all time and was once known as the best pound for pound fighter before his semi-retirement. With a record of 40-0 with 25 KOs who's to say otherwise.

Now the stage is close to being set - Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. This will clearly be one of the biggest fights of the last few decades and will help revitalize the sport of boxing which has been steadily losing ground to the extremely popular mixed martial arts circuit. Boxing needs this...a clash of two of the most explosive fighters of our time. I can hardly wait for this to materialize. What are your predictions? Let me add some suspense to the mix by leaving you with this video of Floyd "Money" Mayweather speaking out on Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and a video of memorable "Money" Mayweather highlights. Enjoy and until next time stay FEARLESS and ZEALOUS my people!!

A Faze Night's Work

What's up my people?

Yo Faze Boyz have been puttin' work in as usual. We have shows on deck, designs on deck, and other developments that we will share with you in the near future. Hold tight my folks. I guarantee that you'll be excited for what we got in the works. While other folks are at the club, partying, making it rain, or poppin' bottles, we're in the lab puttin' in work. DETERMINATION and PASSION. Like the name implies, we're Fearless and Zealous EVERYDAY...not Fearless and Zealous once a week, in our spare time, on the holidays, etc. You get the picture. I lied...we may be poppin' bottles while we work but it's some of that cheap shit as you can see in one of these videos...ha, ha, ha. Enjoy folks and take notes while I re-introduce you to the highly anticipated "City of Dreams" on a tee!!! Until next time, stay FEARLESS and ZEALOUS people!!!

Upcoming Events!!!

Talent Spotlight: U-N-I

What's up folks?

I hope everyone is doing good and keeping their heads to the sky. Your Faze compadres have been graggin' (grinding with swagg) like no other. You know us just trying to get the chess pieces strategically aligned to secure the win. In the midst of all that, we're just trying to pursue our passion and stay dipped in originality.

Speaking of originality, the purpose of this post is to shed light on a Hip-Hop group out of the Los Angeles area that bleeds originality - U-N-I. If you're not up on these cats, you better get a clue. The group consists of "Thurzday" (Yannick Koffi) and “Y-O” (Yonas Michael) and they manage to stay true to themselves in the home of gangsta rap. Go check out their website to find out more - www.yothurz.com.

U-N-I is truly Fearless and Zealous with their craft and it is completely evident in their music. We need more people like them, that are motivated by their passions instead of what's missing from their wallets. You feel me?!? I want to leave y'all with this line - Stay original and true to yourself and others will follow. I know that U-N-I intend to do this and you know your Faze boys intend to do the same. Until next time, stay FEARLESS and ZEALOUS people!!!

Love Is In The Air...

What's up y'all?

Sorry I've been away for awhile...did you miss me? Staying busy with Faze coupled with a virus-stricken computer can be blamed for my hiatus. You gotta love those PCs! Well, enough about me, I want to dedicate this blog post to those who have acknowledged our hard work and have helped share our vision with the vast online community.

Our shout-outs go to Rangga at cottonable.com and Jon at clothingwire.com. These two individuals have graced their pages with write-ups about yours truly.

Also, please support both of these sites because they do a lot to shed light on the indie fashion scene.
