I was in LA last week, and stopped by the new A Bathing Ape store.  A Bathing Ape is a cool Japanese limited-edition street wear clothing brand that has just landed at  8001 Melrose Avenue.  If you’re in LA (or NY at 91 Greene St) you should check it out (unfortunately, they don’t sell online, though you can find some items on eBay.)  They’re just down the street from the DC Shoes store, where I picked up a great pair of super-comfy flip flops: The DC Cabo.  Buy them online — free shipping, no tax, free returns and a 10% discount at shoebuy.com.
