Twin Flames is a sick NYC x Long Island scene video by David Rind, which trawls the beigest and greyest corners of the outer boroughs. Though everyone in the video carries a crust evangelist pedigree, it covers all the bases of the homie video pyramid: the homie who hucks, the tech homie who can flip in and out of front crooks, and the one homie capable of an Antonio Durao-worthy switch frontside flip over a bump-to-bar.
We made this tee in the nascent days of QS merch, commemorating the 2003 blackout, which happened exactly 20 years ago, today. That August 14th, everyone was packed inside Tompkins for one of those classic T.F. sessions where it felt like everyone who mattered was within that fence. It took us about an hour or so to realize the power had gone out. Only two years removed from 9/11, everybody’s mind raced to the worst hypothetical conclusions imaginable. To ease everyone’s anxiety, Billy Rohan reminded us that “Tompkins is actually the safest place in the world right now.” He was right.
Devin Sweat has a name tailor-made for R&B stardom. But instead of singing loverman ballads and waiting for a Drake feature, he has a really sick new part for Labor filmed entirely in New York. Love the elusive City College benches clip.
The brains at Always Do What You Should Do collaborated with Noah on some gear, and released a New York trip edit / Three Up Three Down pilgrimage to celebrate the capsule.
