What do you get when a formula includes: Estria x Living Word Project x Adidas x ShoeBiz SF x 1AM Gallery SF x Bay Area Graf Kings x DefDiggs w/ a camera? Outcome = This quite extensive photo blog-post on a day w/ such heavy hitters. Hands down, no one can bring out the true, unless they themselves hail from the Trueschool, so much props to Estria + his camp for making it possible for real writers to shine with their Adidas x ShoeBiz SF venture. Custom Sneakers were auctioned in support of helping Oakland youth and orphans in Africa. Proceeds donated by ShoeBiz SF to Youth Speaks + Youth Against Poverty. Love to 1AM Gallery for bringing such a beautiful place to exist, and to all the writers out there…keep inspiring us. We know that you’re the most slept-on part of the culture–but hey, there’s a reason why kats like you exist. You are the true essence of what it’s all about–fame in pushing art into new dimensions while risking your lives, not fame in platinum chains, jewels and bullshit hype. One love.
