Celebrating minimalism in their trademark sporty theme, the Undefeated brand surprises us with some hot spring and summer looks. Always staying on the classier side of streetwear, the brand chose some great basic pieces that work well all year round. Khaki, gray, and blue colorways make for a  wonderful scheme to match the spring and summer scenery. If your looking for a relaxed look that doesn't necessarily speak for you, this is the perfect collection.

        

Although we cannot grant you and exclusive look just yet, we'd like to inform you of some key pieces for the REBEL8 Fall '10 season. Putting together its most cohesive and inspired collection to date, this collection embodies the essence of the underdog brand built from the ground up into a streetwear powerhouse.

After a complete sellout of their first cut and sew collection, the crew has assembled an even bigger and better selection for the second round. Some crucial must have pieces include the Underdogs Bomber Jacket, Lurkmanship Work Jacket, Liquor Store Insulated Flannel, Born to Lose Vest, and a full selection of premium flannels and hoodies. Of course, an amazing selection of screen printed graphic tees by Mike Giant and a collaborative capsule with Flying Coffin complete the line for Fall 2010.

Mishka will be opening their sister store in  Echo Park, Los Angeles. Mishka LA will open its doors at 1547 Echo Park Blvd. on February 20th with a clear mission to be a part of the growing transformation of the Echo Park neighborhood. The neighborhood is slowly becoming LA’s destination for the arts and fledgling independent business. Meanwhile a migration of creative youth, young professionals, and LA natives inhabit the neighborhood.


2009 年三月，Mishika 的第一間店開幕了-350 Broadway 在發展迅速的South Williamsburg中心。在那之後，Mishika 不時舉辦許多不同的活動如藝術展、派對、商品試賣、名人造訪、和即席的Street Fighter 比賽。350 Boardway 從Mishika 的磚頭和水泥造的商店到現在布魯克林最熱門的地點之一。

344天以後，Mishika 將在洛杉磯開張姊妹店，希望能在Echo Park達到 350 Broadway 布魯克林所達成的。Mishika 洛杉磯將在二月二十日在1547 Echo Park Blvd開張，主要的目標是成為正在發展即改變Echo Park 地區的一環。

Mishika 的鄰居說：我期待Mishika 在Echo Park 的新店。我覺得他們一定計畫些滿棒的活動。星期六的時候，可以在El Batey market喝點啤酒在直接逛到店面附近。那個街區有些很不錯的商店像是Han Cholo和Show Pony，Mishika 對那裡會是很好的新鄰居。
