Summer’s here and 100 Styles & Running has a couple new drops with the return of the last summer’s banger, the Colston, and the limited-edition Oliver hi-top.
Day or night, the Colston is a versatile slip-on loafer with a premium leather upper with a perforated side panel set on an athletic herringbone outsole. The Oliver is a sleek hi-top that features a slimmed down silhouette, dual removable ankle straps, specially-treated premium leather uppers, and contrasting racing stripe inspired by the Mini Cooper. The Oliver is limited to 275 pairs, but both styles should be hitting retailers soon.

Since I've come into the fold at 100 SR I have realized that what makes us different as people here at the company is what will make us a great company to pay attention to, we are all multi faceted. I mean the name of the company is 100 Styles, dope right?

I promise not to bomb you with strictly hip hop themed stuff, we have a lot of things in the pipeline. And many more things on our collective radar

This concert series will be in the cities of Chicago (where I am from), Cleveland and Detroit. Hosted by Chicago's own Hustle Simmons, and Cliff Skighwalker from Burn Rubber Detroit (a dope store in Detroit, MI who doesnt stock us...yet ;)) The crew is pretty happy about this venture and is cooking up some ideas for some cool stuff for the concert series. Be on the lookout!

If you need info on how to get tickets or stuff like that post comments :)

2009-04-19T12:07:00.000-07:00

This is a little something from Ivy League, dope artists out of Chicago (where RJ100Styles hails from), song is titled "Everywhere" I am a fan of the group, and they are fans of the brand ;). Their DJ hosted the first 100 Styles and Running Mixtape and it was a success, smooth sounds for shoe lovers.

Enjoy, shoe lovers.

ps, im getting excited about music in general again, and i think im going to start sharing little stuff i like more with you who read our little ramblings on the blog. continue to check back for stuff on the brand as well as stuff we like!

Oliver - You are my new best friend

2009-04-17T09:52:00.001-07:00

As seen in Antenna Mag- This summer 100SR will be dropping the Oliver on its 1 year anniversary (well maybe Antenna didnt have that info). Why this shoe is above the fold? Well the Oliver is made with premium waxy leather. Its coming in three colorways... Aside for the sexy red guy that is seen here, there is a limited edition black version with a mid gray sole wall and a chocolate brown version done in some very special bulk oiled leather w/ a creme sole! The official drop for this shoe is May 1, 2009. Friendly reminder that, Chad will be turning 33 on May 17th! Expect big things from 100SR in May ;) More to come

From Bitter Lawyer's Interview

Any fashion advice for lawyers?

""The clothes you wear at work really give you credibility.

For men: Stick to nicely tailored suits, 100% wool (always). When in doubt about ties, play it safe. Funky socks give you a little bit of personality.

I recommend the men’s shoes from 100 Styles and Running , which are a hybrid between dress shoes and street shoes—like the most comfortable Vans you wore in high school, but with better lines and the highest-quality material.""

Behind the Scenes w/ Kurtis Blow

2009-03-13T10:12:00.000-07:00

One of my friends asked me the other day how we came up with the names to our shoes? I responded, inspirations in our lives, people, places, things happening around us, mistakenly naming a shoe after a gf who later became ex (never will do that again), etc.

The Abbott in hebrew means father, so respectively its shown here with one of the founding fathers of hip hop, Kurtis Blow.
