The launch event for the Vans x Wish Sophie release was an extreme success. Thanks to everyone who came out and a special thanks for 335MM and Greg Mike and the whole ABV Atlanta Gallery Crew for letting us crash the place.
Things have been busy up here at the shop lately with everyone getting their Holiday purchases in. We want to thank all of the people like our friends Josh Smith and his mom above who have supported the Wish brand this Holiday. They recently stopped through and picked up the Wish x Coal beanies, the Vans x Wish Sophie and a few other things. Thanks guys!
We’re excited to announce the release of our latest colab with Vans Women’s on a custom Sophie shoe. The shoe will be available in-store on December 17th, 2010 from Wish. A launch party celebration will be held at ABV Gallery from 7-11PM that night, the 17th in collaboration with a TOTT Global Artist Showcase. The Gallery will showcase artists such as Ron English, Claw Money, Buff Monster, Nate Van Dyke, Tara McPherson, Anthony Ausgang, Mike Giant, Greg Mike, Donny Miller, Jeremy Fish, Oliver Black, Mark Bode, and Vaughn Bode.
Drinks will be provided, DJ’s will be in the house. Don’t sleep on this, it’s the biggest thing to hit the A yet!
Levi Maestro will be at Wish tomorrow from 6-8PM to release a limited run of his black/clear Infinity Timepieces. This is the first of two events Levi is hosting, the other which will be held at Jeff Staple’s Reed Space in New York.
The night is sure to be epic, come through….

Finding the shoes is just half the battle. Once you’ve scored your coveted pair of shoes that you blew an entire paycheck on and waited in line for, now you have to find what to wear it with.

We love a good shoe release over here at Wish. So when we got word that we’d be taking stock of the Lebron 8 Pre-Heats, we knew it was going to be a big deal. We snapped a couple of pics of the launch that included the shoes (of course) and a limited edition WISHNESS tee, inspired by the Lebron James Witness Nike Campaign. If you stopped by the store this morning and weren’t able to score a pair, we’re truly sorry! That’s the way the limited shoe release goes sometimes, but congrats to the lucky people who were here on time! Follow the jump for the details!
