we are Los Angeles.

Thank you to you ALL we are getting busier and busier... Edouche actually has to work now. Its looking like we need to speed up this expansion process :)

Well today we started off with a customer driving all the way down from SF to drop-off more than 30 pairs.( we appreciate you brotha) We also needed to have a 70 shoe package packed up and ready to be shipped overseas. Our super interns aren't SOO super when it comes to packing more than 2 pairs at a time SMH... Fortunate enough... we got our packaged boxed and labeled ready for pickup. P U S H I N G W E I G H T.

When we first met Manny and Juan, they dressed liked fruitloops X Skittles collab... after being here at RIF for a minute we told them that we had a dress code anything that doesn't imply that they lived an alternative lifestyle (not that theirs nothing wrong with the alternative lifestyle)

Thanks to the RIF makeover its black everythangggg ...maybe white/navy/grey once in a while.

Actions speak louder than words- Your Boy Edouche...although that pant rolling thing is a little suspect. AYAOOOO

Juan in a 3XL tall Life Takers shirt. 1 of 1 limited Edition. BIG DAHHH

With this price you can't be mad.

SOLD!

Giving those (W)taps Vans a well deserved rest.

R.I.P. You will be remembered.

Jeff rarely wears sneakers other than his Vans/Jordans but once in a while and if your lucky...you'll see him in other shoe heat. JEFF is the ANSWER.

We receive SOO much consignment on a daily basis, that we thought it's only necessary that we make short videos of what we receive from time to time.

"Manny, we're gonna make you a star"- Edouche

A few of the goodies from the day.

boy I thought you knew this.

Holland represent. Here at RIF we've been noticing a steady amount of sales for EUROPE. WEEKLY shoes are being ordered and shipped to Europe SPAIN, France, Poland, Italy and Holland. We were fortunate enough to meet 2 of our loyal customers from Holland.

Nice meeting you FELLAS. Have a safe flight back.

Across the Street at ARCHRIVAL Our boys Steve and Handsome Rob chillin enjoying the LA weather.

Handsome Rob in his Fatique Bucket, We haven't seen one of these in LA for a Minute.

Weather is over bearing here in LA right now. Rob needed to wear his NATIVE Slips. Not a bad look for the hot weather and 10X better then wearing some flip-flops.

Steve rocking his VANS X Visvim caste. Hope your foot gets better STEVE.

Never gets OLD. Jeff in his 92' Huarache

A few STEALS for the Day. Dont Sleep.

Our Boy James ALWAYS hooks us UP with food. We never ask he just HOOKS it up. We've been fortunate enough to meet some of the nicest/unselfish people around . THANK YOU ALL, we're here for you.

"Good people, Helping Good People"

This was the first time a Loyal customer brought us food from the homeland. If you don't know now you know.

Soo delicious even Manny ate it!

Sample Nike SB Blazer (BLK/GUM) (vid 3)

Its that time for another RIF Sample Review. This time the team filmed a detailed video on Nike Blazer SB (Black/Gum) Samples that were never released.

Apparently these shoes are scrapped samples and instead released a CS/slightly lower cut Blazer SB.

Too bad these samples never released they are clean and simple with the original Blazer Cut.
