Gravis + Slick + Island Snow = kicks
What are you doing tomorrow night? That's when 285 pairs of limited-edition Gravis shoes, made in collaboration with the artist Slick, will be made available exclusively at Island Snow, with an in-store event to take place 6 to 8 p.m. tomorrow at Ala Moana Center.
The individually numbered, limited-release shoes are the result of a long-standing relationship between Island Snow, the premium action sports lifestyle company Gravis and the Hawaii-born, L.A.-based artist Slick, who spray-painted his way from the shores of Hawaii to win worldwide recognition for his aerosol stylings. He is credited for founding a series of some of the most influential streetwear brands in the industry, and his art has been featured in documentaries, magazines, music videos, feature films and album covers, most notably "The Bizarre Ride to the Pharcyde."
To launch the shoes, a special installation will be on display, with a signing by Slick and exclusive Gravis + Slick + Island Snow giveaways.
Later tomorrow, the party will move to Next Door, at 34 N. Hotel St., beginning at 10 p.m. Slick will be showing original pieces of art, and partygoers will have a chance to hang with the artist and the Gravis and Island Snow crews.
