An Interview with the Creators of Cool Socks Bruh
By Roger Tino Morales in Chicago/Vivelo Hoy
The Art of Capturing the Daily Routine in a Product
CHICAGO - The simple, the interesting, the funny, the popular around the world, is what we try to capture in each product launched on the market Ricardo "Mouse" Rivera and Tim Nicholson, co-owners of 'Cool Socks Bruh' .
Both established the company in January last year and say business is booming because their customers identify with their pieces, which simply reflect the natural, normal culture in which they are immersed.
From socks to mugs or candles the image of either a rapper, or late singer Selena Quintanilla or the Chicago Bulls, they all give life to 'Cool Socks Bruh'.

In each product, Rivera and Nicholson trying to capture not only the inspiration of his own, but that of those around them. Childhood experiences when playing Nintendo; adolescence when one tried smoking, and even dreams of having a Rolex.
Rivera and Nicholson say that creativity has been part of their lives for so long.
Rivera has worked for years in the boutique Saint Alfreds in Wicker Park, and Nicholson has years dedicated to graphics for video games; But not everything comes from there, much of his inspiration he says he gets from his friends, the sensitivity surrounding painters, musicians, fashion designers, and it reflect on his label, and the designs of their products.

How did the idea to establish the business come about?
Ricardo J. Rivera: It was an idea that Tim and I started. It all started when I took a pair of socks with the image of the rapper Camron. Not made with the idea of selling them, I made them for me, I showed them to my friends and it all started when I put them on the internet.
Where does the passion come from?
Rivera: I am creative, it's cultural, it comes from inside. (It's about) what one sees every day, the music plays, television shows you see, to be on the internet all day. I want everything you do in your daily routine to be integrated into our creation.
Tim Nicholson: The passion and inspiration comes from many sides, of different things. The people are what really inspires me (because) everybody does something creative, music, photography or painting. All that inspires me and helps me create.
A most famous pair of socks designed by 'Cool Socks Bruh' was the replica of a bag of Hot Cheetos. ROGER TINO MORALES | TODAY
And when how do you handle when times get tough?
TN: Things are not easy, but we are fighting to establish a brand and starting from scratch. What you invest is what you get back
RR: When the going gets tough usually what I try to do is stay positive as I can. That comes from my mom and dad who were immigrants when they came here, they had nothing. Now when I do business, patience keeps me serene.

What distinguishes your brand?
TN: Fun. Life is short and we must make it pleasant, we want to create and inspire people because we were also inspired.
RR: Our creations make different homes shine. (Consumers)acquire items with which they identify with.

What have you learned from your business?
TN: That any thought you have, you can make it happen when you put your energy into it.
RR: I learned to be more serious, to be patient, to be a little more cautious, answer timely and to be punctual.
How does it feel to receive orders from all over the world?
TN: We think of the borders and lines that separate countries; and that people like the same things as us; indeed the first store that sold our products were in Japan!
RR: Seeing that our brand is consumed by the (Japanese) culture teaches us that we also have followers there. We're just trying to get ahead. Art is universal and what we bring is better.

How do you take advantage of social networks?
TN: They play a huge role, that is how we have expanded. One reason why many people knew of us was because our friends Curt and Josh (Flosstradamus), were posted us in their social networks. Then other friends shared photos of our products on Tumblr and Instagram and we got exposure among his followers.
RR:The internet was a crucial way to promote the company. You don't necessarily have to go to CoolSocksBruh.com you can go to Instigram, Facebook, or Tumblr or any of these networks (and that were you'll find us). It is a way to grow.
What advice would you give to other entrepreneurs?
TN: People use social networks for fame, but fame will not pay your bills. You must find a balance, know how and when to use them.
RR: Give attention to the people who have turned their attention to you. Take care of the people who have been interested in your product; it will help you before you get lost in the world of social networks, which is actually very small.

Stream D’Angelo And The Vanguard’s ‘Black Messiah’ Album
The year 2000 feels like a lifetime ago. The world was much different from how it is today. There were no iPhones, no Twitter, no Facebook, and AIM was the way to communicate with your friends. The year 2000 was also the last time D’Angelo dropped an album. Until today. D’Angelo is back with his latest album, entitled Black Messiah. The album, which was first heard at an exclusive listening party in New York yesterday (Dec. 15), features heavy collaboration from fellow Soulquarians Q-Tip and ?uestlove.
The 12-track album features the neo-soul sound that so many artist strive for, but not many can replicate. D’Angelo is back. We predict a spike in the amount of babies born in September 2015. Check out the album stream below, and purchase the album on iTunes here.

Santigold's Second Collaboration With Stance Features Socks Inspired by Big Daddy Kane and Aliens
Santigold is bringing her off-beat sense of style to another special collaboration with Stance Socks. The last collection included pieces inspired by Jay Z and Mount Kilimanjaro, while this one pays tribute to a few of the most fashionably inspiring moments in history according to the singer.
The kaleidoscopic collection features three unique unisex designs: Big Daddy Kane, Egypt and Aliens, and The Chase. Santigold explains the inspiration behind her sophomore collection: “Each sock has a fashionable theme from the past: Big Daddy Kane with his iconic Hip Hop flare; the top-hat and ascot sporting attire of the hunters on The Chase sock as they perch atop their beautiful horses; and the aliens who possibly helped create the mysterious mind-blowing legacy of beauty, decadence and technology of Ancient Egypt."
The collab with Stance isn't Santigold's first foray beyond the world of music. She also previously partnered with Vans to produce the all-gold-everything Tosha Hi sneakers, as well as with cosmetics company Smashbox on her own line of makeup.
The Stance x Santigold collection launches today, Nov. 7, at Stance.com and select stockists. Check out the promotional video above and the full collection below.

Dej Loaf Talks Detroit, Father's Murder & Big Break
Up and coming "Try Me" rapper Dej Loaf sat down with VladTV correspondent Jenny Boom Boom and briefly discussed growing up in Detroit, losing her father at a young age and how "Try Me" blew up after a few strokes of bad luck.
Dej reveals that she grew up in a single parent home with her two brothers, raised by their mother after their father was murdered in the projects where they lived at the time. She says she greatly admires her mother who is one of the strongest people she knows and is her number one fan who's always supported her career ambitions.
The Detroit native also spoke of working as a cleaner for Chrysler corporate offices, saying the last straw for her was scrubbing floors with a toothbrush. She then quit that job and began taking music seriously, without making much progress initially. She debated getting back to the job market, but instead recorded
"Try Me" and shared it on Soundcloud. The track immediately spread and now has labels bidding for the young star.

AIR JORDAN 1 MID WHITE/WHITE
Summer is the perfect occasion to bring out a pair of fresh white-on-white kicks, and Jordan Brand has a pair that'll definitely do the trick. The Jordan 1 Mid comes in a crisp all-white leather upper, resting on an equally clean white sole. For the slightest contrast in color, the classic Wings logo on the ankle comes in the usual black print. Titolo has these in stock if you're looking to add them to your sneaker collection.
NIKE LEBRON 11 2K14
Could LeBron James be the next leader in tech innovation when it comes to gaming?
Thanks to his latest partnership with Nike Basketball, it sure is looking that way. To honor Bron-Bron's current NBA 2K14 game cover, Nike Basketball created a limited edition “2K14” version of the LeBron 11 that could only be earned through gameplay.
Players unlocked the shoe by reaching several in-game milestones — like winning 60 games and creating a signature shoe in the Nike Innovation Kitchen. A few lucky winners of MyPlayer mode are currently waiting on shipping details of the surprise shoe — featuring a jungle cat print and deep red upper to symbolize the heart of a lion — which will arrive in the coming weeks.
