This summer the owners of Akomplice Patrick Liberty and Mike Smalls traveled down to South America. Mike stopped in Florianopolis in southern Brazil for a few weeks and shot a lookbook, while Patrick toured through Colombia and chose Medellin as his canvas to showcase the new collection. This is a rare look into the two minds that created Akomplice. Mike tends to be more simple and clean with a palette for high fashion while Patrick’s style is more aggressive with strong contrasts. Relax your minds and if you’ve never been before, enjoy the journey down south to Colombia and Brazil!! The collection will be released on the Akomplice Webstore Friday at 12am.

Here is the shoot from Medellin. It features Patrick, some local Colombians, and the homies, Lucindo and Albert from clownrmx.com, who dropped down from Puerto Rico for the shoot. Check back on Friday for Mike’s shoot from Brazil.

Akomplice and David Flores continue the tour with the second stop in a weekend at Denver’s own Community Service. This time around David was nice enough to produce a mural in the shop, on the wall above the drinking fountain. If you’re ever thirsty in Denver stop by and you can enjoy the company of a wealthy-looking buzzard surveying your sips. We got some great pics of David’s process, from bare wall to completed piece. Check ’em all out after the jump. Thanks to Nick D’Antonio and Ray Montes from Evolved Kulture for the sick shots.

Our first stop on the tour was Family Affair in the LODO region of Denver. Some of Denver’s finest, fresh-minded crews came through to see what was up. The show turned out awesome. Good times were had by all, some people even got their hair chopped. We got a bunch of pics from the night, check ’em out after the jump. Thanks to Terrence Duncan for that awesome shots.

Just so you know who you will be working with, here’s a brief bio on what these two brothers have accomplished:

Mike and Patrick conceived Akomplice at the tender ages of 18 and 20. Hailing from rural Colorado, without any industry-specific education, the two brothers embarked on their first collection with nine of their initial thirteen illustrator designs. Fast-forward eight years, Akomplice is a pillar within the street-wear industry, though they still preserve the curiosity and passion that was there from day one. Akomplice boasts collaborations with iconic figures and media outlets including the Wu-Tang Clan, DOOM, Sneaker Freaker, Frank 151, Eligh of Living Legends, Hieroglyphics, Warner Brothers, Good Wood NYC and Vernon Davis. Mike and Patrick have also been commissioned for designs by Nike’s lifestyle arm, Nike Sportswear on multiple occasions.

Akomplice is currently sold in 18 countries, and is represented all across the US. Akomplice has enjoyed tenured success selling to Los Angeles institution, Conveyor at Fred Segal for over five years. Mike and Patrick have created an industry standard with Akomplice, through thought provoking graphics, and calculated material choices that gain sophistication with each season. Though they’ve enjoyed swift and strategic growth, Mike and Patrick have maintained the ethos of “evolution through innovation” which is apparent within each collaboration, and garment produced.
