BU Interviews Karmaloop CEO Greg Selkoe

                                              

"Man the stuff we went through to make this happen you wouldn't believe it floods, low money, no money, maxing out credit cards, getting robbed the list keeps going on but we kept believing and kept pushing..."

      Greg Selkoe sat down with BeUnequaled recently to discuss how Karmaloop has weathered the storm, rose from the ashes, and emerged as the Global Leader in Online Streetwear.  From being a small-time business run out of a garage to becoming a world class retailer, Greg describes the trials and successes Karmaloop has had over the years, what has made it so successful (primarily "bezerkoogearology"), and it's plans for the future.

Beastie Boys Tour and CollectiveGood Mobile Phone Recycling

 

We know that everyone is already psyched for the Beastie Boys U.S. summer tour, but now you have even more of a reason to be there.  Not only will you be able to see one of the most amazing hip hop groups EVER, but you could also help the environment!  CollectiveGood and ARIA(Artistic Resources in Action) have teamed up to collect old cell phones and accessories at each of the Beastie Boys’ concerts this august to reduce the threat of toxic chemicals in our water. Karmaloop will have its own Street Team reps manning the tables at the concerts, so keep an eye out for the CELL PHONE RECYCLING BOOTH to get rid of those outdated mobile phones and accessories in an environmentally friendly way! If changing the world isn’t incentive enough, you will also score a coupon for a Beastie Boys goodie redeemable online.

The net proceeds from this program will go to Native American wind farms to reduce CO2 emissions, and $1 from each Beastie Boys ticket goes to an ECOFUND which supports REVERB, an effort to get musicians and their fans involved in the environment.  So, pat yourself on the back, because you are officially making a difference (and seeing one of the hottest concerts this summer)!

For more information go to http://www.reverbrock.org/beastieboys/, pick up some tickets to one of the concerts and don’t forget to bring your old mobile phones and accessories.

Lovin WAD, LOVIN THE GREEN!

In our closets, obviously streetwear reings supreme. Its what we cop, its how we live, its our main squeeze of steez! However, we have been prone to slight bouts of cheating. She's cheap, flashy, and often smells like old perfume and cigarettes. We're not really that proud of it, yet we inevitably end up bragging... who else could satisfy us for $5 time after time except the THRIFT STORE?! Sure, she makes us feel dirty, but hey, we aren't looking for clean, just a bargain!

We thought that our loves may never meet until WAD magazine, the pinnacle of European street culture stepped in. On July 21st they are dropping an exclusive line of t-shirts that is a true-crossbreed of our favorite styles. Using reader submitted vintage and used t-shirts they are redesigning them with logos like "GOD SAVE THE GREEN" and donating 5% of their sales to France's Green Cross Association-- taking reduce, reuse and recyle to the max! We're so excited about this, we may even splurge on a matching pair of $2.50 earrings, saving the change for these hot LRGs!
