Thanks, FFam!

A big shout out to Chad and the entire Foreign Family crew for showing Selector some love on the FF blog recently! Much appreciated. Without the constant support of good industry friends like Chad, Selector wouldn’t even exist at all, so thanks again. They have an impressive collab with Skulls coming up shortly so stay tuned for that.

Ludwig x Gourmet Utility Project

Utility Project is an impressive collaboration between two very well-respected LA brands: LUDWIG and Gourmet Footwear. It’s a true collaboration; utilizing Gourmet’s popular original shoe models, paired with lovely vintage military deadstock materials, all sourced using the vintage expertise of LUDWIG. The end result speaks for itself. Four incredible-looking shoe models. Check out the video too. Last I checked, some were still in stock via the LUDWIG SHOP.

Sweet Reggae Music

As you might have noticed, we’ve restocked two of the most popular designs from last year in the online shop. The Sweet Reggae Music graphic was actually done by my good friend Benjamin Escobar. He’s the Senior Designer at one of LA’s best-known streetwear labels, The Hundreds. He’s also a very talented artist and illustrator who does lots of amazing work for a variety of brands. Check out his portfolio and his #Stayweirdforever project too.

Spring 2013

We’ll be restocking two of our best-selling designs in the next week or so, so stay tuned for that! We’ll be bringing back the “Signature” logo tee, and the “Sweet Reggae” tee, in new colors. They also come on new, improved heavyweight blanks (which feel great) and have a logo hit inside the neck (instead of the old woven labels). We hope you dig them as much as we do.
