Undefeated has not only become one of the most notorious sneaker retail doors in the world but it is also emerging as one of the better streetwear brands in today’s cluttered and sometimes even boring industry. The brand that started as a store has reached much of it’s success due to this man, James Bond, one of the men behind UNDFTD. Although much of UNDFTD’s success is accredited to Eddie Cruz, James offers his story and advice in this feature with QD3.

Twelve months in the making, Dave White will be debuting his new works at this years Fame Collective at Art Basel. Having worked with Nike sneakers as icons in the past, Dave White’s new series of works enter another genre which fit right into the culture we live in. With each new painting standing at least five feet tall and some spanning six, these new portraits of superheros and villains debut today at the FAME Collective during Art Basel Miami. Thomas Bradley interviews Dave on The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.
Make sure to stop by the Fame Collective show if you are at Art Basel this week. See you there!
What is the difference between pop art and fine art? Can one become the other?
Pop Art is a movement which falls under the category of Fine Art. Be it painting, Sculpture or Print. The grey area is what do you define as Fine Art? Using mass produced objects as a source of inspiration and making unique pieces of Art is what makes Pop so distinctive and has always appealed to me.

> Insa
How are things in London?
Yeah good, getting cold though.
Most people are aware of what you have been up to lately, can you give us a history lesson on Insa?
Well I am originally known as a graffiti artist, I started tagging when I was like 12 years old. I mainly got into it for bombing and getting my name known. So after years of doing throw-ups, getting busted and painting walls, I started to get noticed around 2000. I got really into doing proper walls, burner pieces and big productions with writers like Astek. I traveled a lot painting walls wherever I could around the globe.

The sneaker customising scene has gained popularity with the boom of sneaker culture as a whole, however these days customising is more than just applying paint to sneakers. Lazy shows us how it is done with paint, fabrics and some intiricate hand carvings on his customs. Detailed to perfection and guranteed to snap necks!
Firstly can you drop some knowledge about Lazy, for those who have not been exposed to your work.
I’m known as Lazy, from Singapore. I’m a designer, better known as a sneaker customiser. I design apparel and customise sneakers for people. I have my own streetwear label under a different name/brand. I called myself Lazy to give people an impression that I am lazy so they won’t bother me with their shit. Then I can get down with my own business.

For many years, Robot tees, sweats and hoodies were hard to come by. The very first Robot piece was a sweatshirt with the word “ROBOT” blazoned across the chest and were given to the crew of CNN video. And so it began, slowly Robot apparel made into the hands of people who were down with the Robot crew, the Robot Films crew that is including Fat Joe, Lupe, Pharrell, Common and a number of others. Robot Films CEO and main director and ‘Set Free’ are the founders of Robot is the Future and is launching the brand in their 10th anniversary since their first Robot crew neck back in the Winter of 1997. We caught up with Set Free to chat about the new brand and Robot’s future.

A new Nike iD Studio recently opened at Niketown New York after closing its doors at the 255 Elizabeth Street location last month. Located on the 5th floor of NTNY, the new space feels more like a design studio, where the 255 space was more casual and at times a cool place to hang out. Appointments are still required but customers can also purchase pre-iDed designs right off the wall. Most exciting are the new options available to the Studio which includes a brand new palette, new materials and a brand new shoe to iD - Air Classic BW!!
The Nike iD Studio will have an opening event this coming Saturday from 12pm to 1pm, click here for more info.
