.::The Official SKILLA Blog

SKILLA will be heading to Charleston, SC this Friday (3/25/11) during their fashion week. The event/show is called “The Big Mix” @ Eye Level Art – 103 Spring Street – Charleston, SC from 7pm – 11pm. I heard about this event after linking up with KJ over at h1gher.com, his plain is to create the first ever celebration of Southern streetwear culture. So If you are in the area stop by, all SKILLA goodies will be on sale.

My good friend Kaylene sent over some pics of our table at the convention/concert in Rochester, NY. My brother held down the fort in my absence. Him and my mom took care of everything and got products moving. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and supported the brand at Winterfest.

First of all I must say thank you to Bishop Steve for making this possible because I know they don’t really do allow this but I will just call it favor. I have have been a long time attendee at the Northeast Winterfest, from being apart of the talent show, to having my heart richly blessed by some great artists/speakers and not to mention meeting some great people, who are now my awesome friends. So now have a booth at this event is a total honor and a true testament of God’s favor because as I said they keep the vendors pretty in house. The only downer is that I won’t be there in the flesh but two just as awesome Skillas will be there, my brother and mom. So all my COG peeps stop by, say hello, take pics and pick up some of your favorite SKILLA gear.

Hey Friends

I just love the support that the brand has received this past year (2009), everyone have been so awesome. I plan to step it up even more for 2010 and to just have more fun doing what I love.  Please remember that I don’t make mass production because I love the thought of something being limited or exclusive. Like when my friends and I would go to the NBA store to check out the throw back or retro jerseys and gear or when my brother and I would collect basketball cards, hoping in that pack of cards you would get a MJ rookie card or some really rare card. I could go on and on about stories, so please understand once something releases try to be the first to pick it up because it may just be gone the next time you try to get it.

On that note the 1st set of 2010 gear drops next weekend and to kick it of I will be having a release celebration on Saturday 1/30/2010 at 6pm.

Also the “I’m A SKILLA” series is on the move, this is when I go around featuring some of the most skilled/gifted people I know or would like to know because I love to meet and talk to talented people. So at the event I will be featuring 2 up and coming culinary pros. I’ve tried their cooking personlly and these guys can really throw down in the kitchen, so come and enjoy good food and pick up some fresh gear.

Last Saturday 12/12/09 before I went the show & concert, I got a chance to hang out with the kids from the neighborhood & from my church at my church’s annual Christmas treat. it was pretty fun the short time I was there, singing carols and just see the excitement of Christmas on these kids faces.

And the Saturday before that, my bro, my good friend Adrian (one SKILLA models) & I went to Pelham, NY community Christmas tree lighting. Even though we missed the tree light caught some part of it.

Also this very good face painter was there, you know the kids were loving this.

I re-stock this year’s most popular tee the Music for All tees, so get yours fast because they going and now in sizes 2XL – 5XL.

Have a pretty busy Saturday evening & night 12/12/09 this weekend, starting with Crea’Cions Salon & Day Spa – Christmas Party which will be from 4pm – 7pm. This salon has really taken to my brand and has invited me to every event they’ve had. I’m real excited about this one, hoping to get to meet more awesome people and spread the brand even more.

Then at 7pm a few of my longtime friends invited me to dance at their annual Praise Night concert, which is usually pretty awesome. So I have been trying to make sure my body is in dance shape.

Stop by SKILLA’s booth and some awesome gear for Christmas!

IT’S ABOUT 25 MINS FROM NEW YORK!

The show in Englewood, NJ was great, it started out slow but right before the fashion show it started to pick up. The people were very nice and I made some really good networking connections for the future. They also had a fashion show, which was pretty nice, so I’m pleased with the overall experience.

I went out and got me some racks to use at shows, it makes everything look better and setup it much more quicker.There goes my brother, he has been a real big help to me at these shows.
