Deep Sleep Meets the Animal House

February 19th, 2008 · No Comments

A while ago, a friend asked me if I’ve ever been to Gay Phil’s (sidenote: Gay Phil is allegedly 100% heterosexual) store. I hadn’t and my answer was probably something like “What are you talking about? He doesn’t own a store.” But, he does! And, some people liked the store so much that they […]

Our main man and sometimes FV contributor DES is one of the peeps at House 33. He sent me an email the other day from a very unhappy and hilarious customer detailing what was wrong with his purchase and what he was going to do for revenge. I was praying the House 33 demigods would […]

Yo! Mtv Raps x Puma = Ugly!

September 18th, 2007 · 4 Comments

Yo! Mtv Raps was probably the best show to ever air on Mtv. Puma is coming out with some limited edition Yo! Mtv Raps Clydes.  Actually, I think that they debuted some Forever Fresh Yo! Mtv Raps x Puma Clydes last year and now they are teaming up again to drop six new pairs.  I […]

Satan Spelled Backwards

August 16th, 2007 · 1 Comment

If you are of a certain age and you were into skateboarding then chances are pretty good that you were a Natas Kaupas fan. I know that I was!
How could you not be?
The guys name was sataN spelled backwards. He had a really innovative and sick style. His hair and skate style were weird as […]

Track + Field featured in Philadelphia Magazine

June 27th, 2007 · No Comments

Philadelphia Magazine has a nice little write up about our pals Track + Field. It’s probably not as fashion-forward as their mention on Hypebeast but Main Line Soccer Moms have deeper pockets than internet sneaker fiends, y’know?
Internetters can buy bags at the Track + Field site. In Philly, visit the Deep Sleep boutique […]

I guess that March came in like a lion and went out like a frozen leg of lamb because it is going to be COLD out there this weekend. I hate the cold and feel like the only way to combat it is to be drunk or busy or both. In the spirit […]

Stars of Track and Field!

March 27th, 2007 · 5 Comments

You might know Bryan Trackstar as half of The Yah Mos Def. Or, perhaps you know him from his old record label. Or, any of his old bands. Or, his old messageboard (T*, holla!) Or, maybe you know him because you are an avid runner.

I Need A Lumberjack Chick.

March 9th, 2007 · 1 Comment

I love flannel shirts…my inner white trash won’t let me feel any differently. The soft, yet durable material is an excellent wear in cooler temperatures for a slender dude like myself. My love of flannel was instilled in me by my father, a cable-splicer for NYNEX/Bell Atlantic/Verizon, who extolled the virtues of said woolen […]

Designer Bike Lock?

March 5th, 2007 · 3 Comments

Nothing says STEAL THIS BIKE like a designer bike chain lock.
That’s why we here at Fun Vampires have to give it up to the people at Supreme for this snazzy chain lock. It’s probably limited edition and it probably costs more than your precious track bike. Via Hiroshi @ Honeyee.
