In just about 2 hours, Wale himself will be dropping by our Moreland Ave. shop to hand out free tickets to his Tabernacle, Atlanta, GA show tonight. No… we did not stutter….free tickets to tonights show. From Wale. Free. He’ll also be kicking it for a little while with whoever wants to stop by and chop it up. Don’t miss this. Take your lunch break. Call your ride. Step onto MARTA… do whatever you have to do to be here at 3:00PM today.
The wait is almost over. To say we’re stoked about this release would be an understatement. Originally released in 1988, the last time these guys saw a new release was in 2003. We’ll be releasing an extremely limited run of these shoes on Saturday, January 22, 2011. We’ll be running regular store hours and opening at 12:00noon. First-Come, First Serve. No line holding or space holding.
Well, we’re back from an awesome trip to NYC for Agenda and Capsule Trade Shows. We saw so many amazing things in the Big Apple that we are inspired from and ready to bring to Atlanta. Although we spent most of the days grinding out meetings at the trade shows, we also had some time to stop through all of the boutiques and other retailers in the city. We’ll be keeping you guys updated with the happenings of Wish on a more regular basis. Also, we’ll be posting live from Las Vegas in February as we head to MAGIC trade show. All we can say is, look forward to 2011… it’s going to be a big year for fashion and we want you to stay up on it first.
Follow the jump for some photos from the few days up north!
Balenciaga Showroom… hidden gem.
We spotted the Cookies & Cream: New York City truck cruising.
It seemed like almost everywhere we went in Manhattan, there was a really strong precense of people in uniform. You can’t help but be greatful just seeing it in person and knowing what these guys put themselves through everyday. Awesome.
Converse Store So-Ho. You may have seen pictures of this shop floating around the net…it does not do it justice. The wall is American Flag themed, but in All Converse All-Stars. Perfectly organized. Dope!
You’ve seen the pictures, but it’s nothing like actually being in Times Sqaure and looking up. Needless to say, we weren’t the only people taking pictures… cue lady with full-on Camera tripod buttom right.
On the way back from Laguaria Airport, we coincidentally happened to be waiting on our flight at the same gate they were installing iPads at every booth. The smarter-than-you tech guy gave us the whole run-down on the new iPad x Delta colab (lol) as he was installing it for us. You can order food straight from the iPad and the restaurant down the way will bring it straight to your seat while you wait…. another thing we can’t live without.
Also notable at Laguardia was the built-in USB plugs in the outlets….. another thing we can’t live without.

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.
Half the battle is getting your hands on a pair of your favorite, most coveted Jordans. The real hard part is finding the perfect fit to wear with them once you’ve scooped. Our Lead buyer, Frank Cooke, takes some time out of his schedule to lace you up with the latest product from the Wish stock. Don’t ruin the kicks with a bad outfit… take some pointers from Frank and step it up!

Dom Kennedy took some time out of his schedule to do a short photoshoot in some Wish product. Photographed and filmed by our good friend, Patrick, from Fresh Start Productions, Dom is shown rocking the Wish x Mitchell & Ness Colab as well as the Coal Headwear beanie. Dope. Thanks to Patrick for his time as well as Dom and the whole crew! Check out the pics and video below.
It’s been a long time in the making and the hard work has finally paid off.

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!
