The release party for the Jason Markk x Vice Jet Set Kit, “Love Your Shoes”, took flight on Valentines Day at CRSVR LV (located inside The Cosmopolitan). The store was packed with friends, celebs, industry, and of course, sneaker lovers that were trying to get their hands on a Jet Set Kit.

I was humbled by all the people asking Vice and I to sign their kit…

This was the display case at the cash wrap

Our two lovely flight stewardesses kept the champagne flowing

Wale stopped in to grab his kit…

A-Trak was in the building!

Cheers to (if not the) one of the best collabs I’ve ever worked on! Thanks to everyone who helped out on this project and especially those who copped!

Peace.

The camera follows Vice as he checks in and gets settled at W Hotel – giving the viewer a rare, personal look into Vice’s jet set lifestyle.

Jason later meets up with Vice and chats about travel, sneakers, and their upcoming collaboration, before heading to the club.

8-10 pm. See you there!

I loved working on this project. You might not know, but DJ’ing was a HUGE part of my life growing up. And in many ways, still is. Like Vice recently said to me, “Once a DJ, always a DJ.”

And if you’ve ever DJ’d, you probably instantly recognized the case’s resemblance to the classic “Shure” hardshell DJ needle case.

What makes this project even more special for me on a personal level (aside from the fact that I grew up DJ’ing) is that I knew Vice when I was just 15 or 16 years old. I’d run into him at random gigs or through same circles, but that was about it. Fast forward 15+ years later, and our paths happen to cross again – and here we are!

But you don’t have to be a DJ to appreciate the functionality of this kit. This thing is nearly indestructible. If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on one of the 380 created, odds are you’ll be able to enjoy this case for years and years to come! I still have my original needle case from my early teens and the thing still looks/works great! Alright, enough of my babblin’, here’s more behind the design concept…

Vice is quite the jet setter, often traveling 4-5 days out of each week to DJ. So, we decided to really incorporate the travel/jet set theme throughout.

…While also paying homage to this classic needle case.

Each kit comes individually numbered…

Contents of the kit include 2 oz. Premium Shoe Cleaner (carry-on friendly), and mini versions of both Standard & Premium wood cleaning brushes, both nestled in black velvet lined foam.

A play on the cheesy emergency landing instructions found in the backseat pocket of the dude in front of you…

Available on Valentines Day at CRSVR LV and the JM online shop. And soon thereafter at Colette (Paris) and Reed Space (NY).

Laser-etched brushes…

Clean travels,

Although, we’ve been supporting our friends over at H-Town Sneaker Summit for years (and vice versa), this was our first time attending HTSS – or being in Houston for that matter!

Shouts to Trill O.G. Bun B, Premium Pete, SneakerTube.TV, Sports Rapp Live, DJ Oakcliff, Dee Wells & OSD, Nicky Diamonds, T.I.T.S. Brand, everyone we met at the show, and of course, the man, Founder of HTSS, Kadoma.

Special thanks to our hardworking volunteers, Yadira & Ivan, Kadoma for the hospitality, and all of H-Town for the love & support! We’ll be back soon!

Check out this B&A Katash Instagram-ed this morning! Nice work and thanks for posting!

Check out this short “How To” vid on how to clean your kicks using our Jason Markk premium shoe cleaning products.

Note: Due to suede’s textured nature, open pores, and various grades, we recommend that you test in an inconspicuous area first. We do not recommend cleaning dyed suede, as dye may bleed from any contact with water.

So after leaving Staples Center with an unbelievable Watch The Throne high, of course we had to grab an “LA Street Dog” aka “Danger Dog” aka “Street Meat” aka “Bacon-wrapped Hot Dog”, right?

Best. Decision. Ever. Then, this happened…

That’s ketchup, mustard, bacon-grease, and if you look closely, you can see a piece of onion. Needless to say – instant downer. But actually, I thought this would be a good opportunity for a Before & After case. First thing the next morning, I removed the laces and soaked them in a solution of JM & water, and went in!

It took a little extra elbow grease (no pun intended) to work off the yellow from the mustard, but after all was said and done, I’d say JM did its thing!

As always, you can check out other JM Before & After pics in our B&A Archives!

Restored Soles, hosted by Room322, is a sneaker drive whose objective is to acquire slightly used sneakers, clean them up (using exclusively Jason Markk products!), re-lace them, and distribute them to children in need in Jamaica.

The drive takes place this Saturday, 8/20, from 12pm-8pm, at Room322 in Edmonton.

Robert Tyndale, Co-owner of Room322, explains,

“This project was inspired by a minor contribution that Room 322 (made) back in 2009. We sent only a handful of pairs of sneakers for youth in Jamaica and the kids were more than happy to receive them. Over here in Edmonton we take a lot for granted, and simple things such as shoes are highly valued in countries like Jamaica, especially to the youth who can’t even afford a decent pair.

We will be working with over 20 volunteers that will help clean, pack, and ship the footwear. What makes Restored Soles different than other sneaker drives is that we will be capturing the full experience from start to finish. We will be sending a team of four to Jamaica to help with the distribution of footwear and capture the impact of how a simple shoe can effect a child’s life.”

Btw, Robert has also coordinated with two Jamaican organizations within Edmonton, the Jamaican Association of Northern Alberta (JANA) and the Honorary Consulate of Jamaica, to aid in the effort.

We’re really happy to take part in this

If you’re in the Edmonton area this Saturday, 8/20, please do stop by the drive and make a donation. More details of the event can be found here.
