MEthods NYC

This is Dave GEE... He started methods NYC a few years back,, I remember meeting him when he had first atarted the line,, I was bartending and he stopped in with a mutual friend,, three years later and his brand seems to be everywhere iin new york,,,, Here is how he describes the brand:

We started Methods NYC Clothing about 2 1/2 years ago. We basically started out with the intent of being a support system for urban artists. We choose artists from around the world that we respect and whose art we want to push on the masses. We've had artists on the line that range from insane street bombers to high profile gallery artists. Some artists that we've worked with in the past include SuperBlast (Berlin, Germany), KOA (Lille, France), NYC Lase (MOTUG, NYC), Skam2?(FL), Dizmology (MOTUG, NYC), Vandal's Ink (LA), AS1 (Miami), Frost (PHILLY), and many others. Every line that we put out has designs from atleast 10 dope artists from around the world. This is why our line contains so much variation each season. I personally think that lines with one designer usually become sort of stale. A lot of the stuff looks the same and tends to become boring.

Each one of our lines has something for everyone. Chances are that you won't like the entire line, but you will definitely be able to find a few shirts that you love. We take pride in the fact that Rastas, Hip Hop kids, Hardcore kids, and just about anyone else can rock our shit.

We're based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. I run the show with my dude Cassi and a few interns.

Sneaker Culture has definitely influenced us over the last couple years and they've really embraced us from our start. We always do extremely well when we vend at the shows. (Shouts to Soled Out, Dunk Exchange, and Sneaker Pimps!) Its really dope to do the shows and meet the kids. They're mad cool for the most part. Some of them get a little crazy with it though. I see kids walking around with 5-10 boxes of kicks and they still want more. Fuck it, better than spending that cake on drugs or whatever. A lot of our colorways this season were designed to match some SB's, Blazers, and Dunks that are coming out in the near future. We also just try to make the line as colorful as possible. If you 've got a new pair of kicks, 9 times out of 10, we have a dope tee to match it.

As far as my favorite sneaker, I would have to say any and all Blazers. An ex-girl of mine turned me on to Blazers and thats pretty much been my favorite shoe ever since. I recently copped a pair of Blazer Mid 73's (black/grey) and those are really dope.

To all the Female Sneaker Fiends: We love you guys! We finally have women's tee's this season that we made just for you! We used a lot of nice colorways and really tight designs. We think you'll be feelin them. Make sure to cop them at one of our retailers or on our site: www.methodsnyc.com
