Team Proper Up / Illest

This year we’ve collaborated and teamed up with Team Proper Up and created Team Proper Up Illest. If you’re into martial arts, you’ll know at least one of these guys as they’ve been sweeping tournaments for the last couple years. Brooklyn’s going to be taking some classes in the next month as she’s found out that Power Rangers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are her calling.

Latest results.
Brandon Aquino- two 1st place and two grands.
Ervic Aquino- two 1st place and 2nd place.
Joslynn Espinoza- 1st Place.
Bo Hall-1st place.
J.P. Bautista- 1st place.
Patrick Salientes-1st place.
Sean Arceo- 2nd place.
Leon Jefferson-1st place.

About Fatlace

Born in 1999, Fatlace initially started as a blog about the elements of hip-hop, with roots in music, break dancing, and graffiti. In addition to the hip-hop lifestyle we grew up on, cars is a collective interest among the Fatlace family and inevitably was incorporated into our web site. Fast forward and Fatlace has evolved to what you see now, still continuing to grow.

At first, Fatlace in San Francisco's historic Japantown seems like your typical shop with dope beats, comfy sneaks and kids up to no good, but stay a while and you'll discover there's more to us than what is on the surface. You'll soon find out the diverseness within our team and the details that set us apart from the usual street boutique. Be sure to also check out Illest, our Los Angeles shop and if you can't make it out to either, there's always our online store where we carry all of our latest products.
