#143 John Shanahan | jogszerű örökös

videó: 04:01 perc

Szóval elképesztő Mason Silva idei teljesítménye, ami a videótermésben (is) megmutatkozik. De van itt valaki, aki szép csendben szivárog felfelé a rögös úton. Eszméletlen Silva üteme, de ha a stílust is osztályozni kellene, akkor Shanahan százszor közelebb áll a szívemhez. Teljes joggal nevezhető a Philly-NYC vonal örökösének, Josh Kalis és Stevie Williams nyomdokain. Bő gatyák, a legpufibb DC-k és első osztályú street deszkázás. Tényleg street. Nincs akadálymentesítés, ráguruló pótlás, motoros behúzás, ésatöbbi. Lehet még népkedvenc is az év végén. Nemrég a DC adott ki egy húzós videót Brian Panebianco tollából, a Zoo York alapító Eli-Morgan-Gesner groove-jaival.

Iconix Brand Group is tapping the founders of Zoo York, one of the East Coast’s first true street culture-inspired lifestyle brands, to help reinvigorate the brand. As part of the new partnership, Zoo York’s founders, Rodney Smith, Eli Morgan Gesner, and Adam Schatz, are returning to Zoo York as creative directors to provide strategic creative, design, marketing, and industry insight. Iconix acquired Zoo York in 2011 and it’s currently one of almost 30 brands in Iconix’s portfolio.

Zoo York was created in 1993 and the founders will help bring the brand back to its street culture roots through a disruptive “Under Old Management” marketing campaign that started on Instagram when Zoo York started teasing the return of the founders. To kick off their comeback, Smith, Gesner, and Schatz are creating a Zoo York x Founders line of limited-edition product drops that will be shoppable only through Zoo York’s Instagram channel and ZooYork.com, with the first capsule launching on September 10th.

The first Zoo York x Founders drop is inspired by milestones in Zoo York’s history and includes updated versions of iconic items from the brand’s archives. Standout pieces include a dad hat and t-shirt inspired by the infamous “Zoo York Mixtape,” from 1997 and a t-shirt similar to what was worn by the skaters in the cult classic film “Kids.” Another key design element is the original Zoo York graffiti tag created by Gesner, featured on a long-sleeve t-shirt as well as a skate deck, which will be hand spray painted and signed by Gesner. The first drop also includes a replica of the coveted Zoo York hoodie from the 1990s. Only 93 pieces of each item will be created, to pay homage to the year Zoo York was founded, 1993.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to do many extraordinary things in my career,” said Gesner. “But coming home to Zoo York is, at once, the most exciting and, at the same time, the most comforting. I am home.”

Smith noted: “To do things differently in times like these can render success with the right components, intentions, and attitudes.”

“This partnership really highlights the importance of authenticity over hype when committing to the long-term health of a brand,” commented Schatz.

In addition to creating limited-edition product drops, Smith, Gesner and Schatz also will provide on-going design direction to licensees and partners around the world, starting with a re-branding that will take Zoo York back to its original logo, featuring a font the founders first saw during a meeting in the Empire State Building, a nod to the brand’s New York City roots. The trio will also collaborate with Zoo York on brand storytelling as well as content creation by tapping into their network, including renowned skate photographer Giovanni Reda.  Through the lens of the brand’s founders, Zoo York’s new direction will pay tribute to all of New York City’s street culture, beyond just skateboarding.

“Partnering with the creators of Zoo York will help us reconnect to the brand’s origins in New York City street culture and regain credibility,” added Bob Galvin, chief executive officer and president at Iconix Brand Group. “With the convergence of growing global interest in skateboarding and ongoing ‘90s nostalgia, there’s a great opportunity for Zoo York.”

‘All the Streets Are Silent’ Film Review

As far as titles go, you can’t implicate Jeremy Elkin’s “All the Streets Are Silent: The Convergence of Hip-Hop and Skateboarding (1987-1997)” of incorrect marketing. Tracing the 2 youth cultures as they dance around one another and lastly converge on the streets of New York City throughout the years, the director collects an impressive quantity of classic video, and discovers no lack of deep veins to tap. And yet, in spite of its doctoral dissertation-style title, “All the Streets Are Silent” does not have a thesis: less a sociological research study of the rapper-skater merging than an event of a really particular kind of person in a really particular piece of area and time. In this case, the sort of young adult who felt most in your home wandering the streets of Dinkins-period Manhattan with just a board and a boombox for business.

And one may argue that that kind of person, now older, is likewise this documentary’s target market, as the movie makes just passing efforts to describe or contextualize its excessive try of names, locations and allusions throughout a really hectic 89-minute runtime. We find out about the development of the club Mars, the origins of “The Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Show,” the early days of Zoo York, and the manner ins which the infringement of the mainstream – whether it be Larry Clark’s movie “Kids” or the whole globalized streetwear market – both celebrated and commodified the sense of flexibility that these skaters, DJs, rap artists and hangers-on were as soon as able to enjoy in a less buttoned-down New York. But an audience entering into the movie who isn’t currently aware of the abovementioned might discover themselves a bit lost, and a strong sense of “I guess you had to be there” might keep the movie at arm’s-length for outsiders.

That stated, you can’t state the movie doesn’t make you want you were, in reality, there. For anybody with even a passing interest in ‘90s hip-hop and its associated satellite cultures, some the archival footage contained in this film is genuinely remarkable. Here’s a noticeably young Jay-Z rapping clean-up for Jaz-O on a small club phase. Here’s a then-unknown Busta Rhymes appearing unwelcome to a college radio station and kicking a freestyle that includes lines he would ultimately integrate into his verse on “Scenario.” Here’s a peek of the scene at Supreme back when it was simply a regional skate store. For those who just understand these individuals and organizations through their later, more sleek versions, these pictures of their humbler origins are suddenly poignant.

In addition to the archival video – much of it offered by nightlife business owner Yuki Watanabe and Zoo York co-founder Eli Morgan Gesner, who likewise functions as storyteller – Elkin collects a powerful series of contemporary interviews, from starlet Rosario Dawson and late skateboarder Keith Hufnagel to Run-DMC’s Darryl McDaniels and the always-insightful DJ and manufacturer Clark Kent. But its building and construction can in some cases be complicated, moving from scene to scene without offering the appropriate framing for what each of them suggested. There are long stretches where the significance of New York skate culture within the more clearly crucial context of hip-hop isn’t completely clear, and one wants the movie took a little bit more time to unload the racial and gender characteristics on screen in these crashes. (There are vanishingly couple of females to be seen here, with Dawson the only woman interviewee to get significant screentime.)

With many voices and deals with travelling through the movie, it isn’t till in the future that it appears to discover its center in the figure of the late Harold Hunter. Explosively amusing, unchecked in his interest, and ever happy to carry out for anybody with a camera, the young skater acquired worldwide popularity when he was cast in “Kids.” Yet within the regional scenes portrayed here, he appeared to understand practically everybody currently, and his drug-related death at the age of 31 appears to put a mournful end punctuation on a subculture whose flame had actually long given that been moistened by gentrification and cooption by business interests.

As a too-brief epilogue advises us, hip-hop is now the dominant kind of music, and skateboarding is now an Olympic sport. But it wasn’t so long ago that both were shuttled towards the margins by different gatekeepers, and the reality that these 2 disrespected youth cultures as soon as discovered commonalities in their shared play area of New York City is maybe not so unexpected. As for what they eventually suggested to each other, and what their parallel trajectories can teach us about the battle to maintain natural street cultures in the face of the bigger forces that look for to strip-mine them, “All the Streets Are Silent” hardly ever decreases enough time to consider.
