Recently Swagger brought Lupe Fiasco, Mickey Factz, and The Cool Kids out to Tokyo to celebrate their 10th anniversary. There was a huge concert for the event as well as a photoshoot for their Swagger Mag Vol. 2...
Swagger Mag Vol. 1 unleashed the crazy Nike Terminator collab so this issue might also hold some exclusives. At the very least there will be a full spread with the dudes on the cover.
Available soon at choiceisyours.

A Sneak Peek Into Stussy NYC
It was previously announced that the new Stussy NYC on 176 Spring St. would be opening "on or around August 24th. Well apparently they are a day or so behind schedule because the glass storefront still has paper covering it from top to bottom, however with some espionage tactics there is a little preview of the interior...
Not all that much different from the Union layout, and certainly nothing glamorous, the store should definitely be open by the weekend.
Guess those opening items will have to wait...
