MAJOR on MTV

Buttahman from MTV's Hoodfab is a long time friend of the MAJOR fam, and he's always repping us on the tube, whether he's rocking MAJOR fitteds on his show, Hoodfab, or sitting at the roundtable discussion for who the Top MCs are, rocking the Orisue x MAJOR Nightowl tee as pictured here!

Thanks for always being MAJOR... As Buttahman has hustled his way from being a music programmer at Radio One Baltimore, to being the music director at MTV Networks, then creating his own show and star in it!

AACA Global Launch - Inauguration Weekend

How many of you remember those AACA hoodies? Let's take it back all the way to 1992, when everyone was rocking Champion hoodies, and all of sudden, rappers started rocking these AACA hoodies, repping Historically Black Colleges and Universities. These hoodies were made of the best quality heavyweight fleece, and felt more like an outerwear than a typical layering piece a hoodie was at the time.

The driving force behind it all, and responsible for putting these hoodies on every popular rapper alive at the time, was none other than my friend, Chris Latimer. Chris went onto start an agency called Da Streetz, which specialized in marketing and product placement for various clients, including CCM Hockey Jerseys, American Needle, Fubu and various music companies. He also went onto create Cancun Memorial Day Weekend events, which have become legendary.

But Chris has always sought to bring back his first passion, which was African American College Alliance, or AACA for short. Having graduated from Howard University, he feels especially proud to have been one of the pioneers of urban/streetwear game that paid tribute to institutions where "getting fly" originated from.


Fast forward to 2009, MAJOR is proud to partner with Chris Latimer & AACA in the Launch of AACA Brand. In this historically significant weekend, AACA will debut its first collection at MAJOR. AACA staff will be on hand on Friday, January 16th through Sunday, January 18th to assist in sales. These are 480 Gram Premium Cotton Fleece with heavy duty double sided ribbed gusset, and oversized hood, just the way you remember them from back in the day with everyone from Biggie to Snoop rocking these hoodies at performances and in the videos. Now, as you can see from above, The Cool Kids are rocking these hoodies with pride, as the new generation takes over!

This is why MAJOR is THE only store that matters... Come join us!

Fresh Out The Box 2003!!!

Long before "sneaker collecting" was fashionable in the mainstream world, yours truly, along with a good friend, Adam "AirRev" Leaventon put together the quintessential vintage sneaker showcase in New York City in 2003.

"Fresh Out The Box" was the first, and to date, the only serious showcase of true vintage and rare sneaker showcase that also combined art, entertainment, and celebrity with our beloved drug habit of choice, kicks.

Adam just e-mailed me the link to a blog post, where they are paying homage to FOTB.


It's also weird to see Adam (Puma), me (MAJOR), and RetroKid (Nike) evolve into sneaker industry people, when we were the ultimate consumers back in the day!

4th of July Sale!!!

Less exclusions than the last one. New items put out everyday.

MAJOR Gradient Safari Fitted... Coming Real Soon!

Some of you got the first glimpse of the new MAJOR fitted on this post.

Now you get to see better pictures of the fitted, before we shoot the official NewsChannel post.


As you can see the pattern is our beloved Safari pattern, but with our new design twist. The color of the Safari pattern fades from Dark Purple to Teal. Thanks to Shawn C., who executed this pattern, we were able to achieve a true gradient pattern, printed on white cotton for that crispy summer look.

This cap took over a year from concept to production. Some of you have seen me rock the sample on occasions, and we made subtle changes to make sure that our customers get the best fitted possible, the MAJOR way!

This will be the first official Summer drop for the year, but we will have many more MAJOR releases coming, including DC 4th of July Celebration Cap & 8.8.08 Beijing Olympic Edition caps.

We are so proud to be a part of everyone's lives, where MAJOR is the fitted that matters!

MAJOR Forever!

Our MAJOR Trinity Logo is very close to our hearts, and symbolizes our DC roots in a truly iconic manner. Designed by my good friend, Dheen Weening, a former creative director for TRUE SF, this logo has been embraced by everyone in the DMV, and people all over the world!

It's totally another level of respect for the Trinity to see it in the form of a tattoo. Big shouts to Luis for getting inked, and sending us the flick.

Upcoming MAJOR fitted appearance!

MAJOR's yet-to-be released Gradient Safari Fitted makes a cameo appearance on my friend, David Banner's new video for "Get Like Me," which also features Chris Brown & Yung Joc.

Can't wait for the actual video to drop on MTV, BET, and on the net, but in the meantime, here is a sneak preview:
It's going to be a great summer!!!

And The Winner Is...

Coming soon @ MAJOR...
Mr. Obama IS coming to Washington... Barack, MAJOR, and DC, a winning combination!
