I became friends with the owners of Intuition Men roughly half a year ago and noticed very quickly that they had a distinct passion for men’s wear. These guys introduced me to some great brands that I had never heard of before, many of them Canadian. I’ve become a bit obsessed with showing up and hanging out and taking pictures while I shop for new kicks or a slick button up. Luckily the owners are really cool and laid back and seem to enjoy a good conversation about music or shoes just as much as they like selling great brands.

Check them out. They are in Toronto and located on 2487 Yonge St.

Reebok continues their mini documentaries on what it takes to "make a classic" by following rapper Eve and talking to her friends and family in regards to her progression as an artist to where she is today. This is my kind of advertising. Kudos to Reebok for doing something productive while promoting their brand.
