MEET: NOWA OF AS IT IS
The name is Nowa. Not Noah, Noach, Noa or a variety of these letters. Just NOWA. A couple of months ago this dude started his own shop ‘AS IT IS’. His statement is: what you see is what you get. The store has a raw unpolished look and he’s still busy renovating. So far so good. And he keeps it real. Nowa is a straight up fella who keeps on grindin’ to fulfill his dream. To grow. To be succesfull. To sell dope brands. To keep the store AS IT IS. Nothing but respect. Satu hati. POW!
MEET: NAF OF TORI JO
Apeldoorn? Yeah, a ’small’ village/town in the Netherlands. Friends of ours mentioned this store Tori Jo. So we dropped by to show some of that IM KING, Miss Wax and other stuff of GPB. Props to Naf. He’ll be selling some dope new brands soon…stay tuned.
BE ON THE LOOKOUT: IM KING IS IN.

As another portion of Undercover’s men’s collection for the 2009 spring/summer season, the Poptones collection takes a slightly different route then its more casual Neoboy collection. Slightly baggy suits are the ongoing theme for the most part as we anticipate some further looks in the near future.

Casual styles come to mark this collection with his Poptones collection taking things in a different direction.
