The Athletic Invasion

Processed with VSCOcam with m6 presetIf there is one company taking the Nation by storm it would be The Athletic. I had the pleasure of popping into the shop, hanging out with Jeremy, and picking his brain a bit. It’s always a pleasure to meet folks you’ve had an internet connection with in person. Following each others work, getting amped, then to share stories over a beverage couldn’t be more appropriate.

The shop displays its hours via Instagram at random depending on what works best for Jeremy and Julie’s schedule. It’s a bitchin’ way to do business if you ask me. I’d say that model wouldn’t work for most folks, but that just further defines why The Athletic is sweeping the nation… they just have it.

Below are a few shots I took of the shop and Jeremy racing in the second to last Cross Crusades race. I hope you enjoy.

Go to The Athletic and check out all the radness therein. I promise you won’t be disappointed.  Processed with VSCOcam with m6 presetProcessed with VSCOcam with m6 presetProcessed with VSCOcam with m6 presetProcessed with VSCOcam with m6 presetProcessed with VSCOcam with m6 preset

Shinola // My Introduction

Screen Shot 2014-10-07 at 4.50.42 PMI’ve seen Shinola bicycle, watch, and leather goods around throughout my travels. This is the first time I’ve looked into their company and products a little bit closer. Although I’ve never owned or used any of their products they seem to be right on track for bringing hand crafted American made goods back to American’s.
