in4mation | Ward Warehouse 1050 Ala Moana Blvd, 4B-1 BAY 5 and 6 HONOLULU 808.597.1447 | info@in4mants.com In4mation They refer to themselves as In4mants and occupy "In4mation," a 1,300 sq. feet space in downtown Honolulu. Neither spies nor associated with the folks who give out phone numbers, we're being informed about something else--an explosive, underground urban culture of sneakers, clothing, toys and media happening in the heart of the vacation paradise. Freshness sat down with Todd Shimbuku, one of four partners who started In4mation. The team is made up of Ryan Araki, Todd Shimbuku, Jun Jo, and Rhandy Tambio¡--skaters, surfers, designers, and retailers all mixed up to form as one, like the Transformers from the Voltron cartoons, where its name originates. In4mation's newest project "Understudies" will be an artist and thought-provoking retail project by Rhandy Tambioi and Bam Bam, set to debut at the end of the year. Watch out, guys and girls, cause this two-year-old store wants to make some waves.
