August 1st and 2nd, Long Beach, CA was host to the Agenda Tradeshow. If you’re not familiar, Agenda is one of the industry’s largest expositions. Hundreds of the top brands in streetwear and skate culture gather together to show off the upcoming lines, exchange ideas and generally enjoy the company of like-minded people. Out of a 10′ x 10′ booth Akomplice hustled goods, and proved to be one of the more desirable brands at the show, conducting one presentation after another for interested clients.

With the Colorado tour drawing closer by the hour we thought it would be a good idea to further introduce our friend and collaborator, David Flores. If you got a moment, take the time to read his bio. Lately he has been working on large-scale wall murals in the city of Los Angeles. He plans to further demonstrate mural efforts internationally in the near future, as well. Below are a couple of his more recent masterpieces. Information regarding the tour can be found here.

Akomplice Clothing and acclaimed street artist, David Flores, invite you to check out the Colorado Tour. Five stops in four cities, complete with pop-up art shows at local boutiques, and after-parties at one of each locale’s finest. There will be live performances, DJ’s, art displays, live painting, schmoozing, exclusive releases, and of course, complimentary beverages.

If you don’t know about David Flores, this is a good time to educate yourself. The man is an incredible artist with a prolific résumé. We have had the great fortune to be involved with several collaborative lines in the past, and look forward to more in future.

You can find links to information regarding each individual event here.

Enjoy. We look forward to seeing you there.
