En Noir Now Available at Wish!

En Noir grew its roots at a Parisian factory notorious for cranking out the collections of seasoned fashion world veterans such as Balmain and Chanel, as well as newer names to the game, including Kanye West’s women’s line. For Garcia, the direction of En Noir was always about the utility of the clothing. Many of the brands in his closet rule the fashion runways, but are difficult to pull off on the street. Garcia hoped to take advantage of his Parisian connect, focusing on the fit, silhouette and the quality of the garment, while designing a more practical luxury item that could be worn without any consideration of season. The result of his labor was “Monochromatic Minimalism,” En Noir’s first collection.

Wish x Reebok “American Fun” Pong Pack

Paying homage to good old fashioned “American Fun” Wish ATL has decided to collaborate with Reebok on a vibrant special make up of the Pump Omni Lite. Inspired by Solo, the official party cup company and the American made game “beer pong,” this red to the ground and beer patterned sock liner colorway is sure to spark excitement in party animals across the world!

The game “beer pong,” evolved from the traditional game played with paddles. Which is generally regarded to have had its origins within the fraternities of Dartmouth College in the 1950s and 1960s. The original version resembled an actual ping pong game with a net and one or more cups of beer on each side of the table. Eventually, a version without paddles was created, and later the name Beer Pong was adopted in the 1980s.

The Wish x Reebok “American Fun” Pump Omni Lite will be available at our Moreland Ave location and on our site on October 13 for $150 USD before hitting additional spots one on October 20.

Ewing Sneaker Release Piece by Piece: Handpicked by Frank

The 1980s gave birth to the signature basketball shoe as many players received their own shoe model from companies, and in 1989 Patrick Ewing took it one step further, becoming the first professional basketball player to have his own shoe company, Ewing Athletics. The first main release from the company was the 33 HI. This shoe would go on to become a huge seller and a street staple in NYC. In the 2000′s as the Internet Age dawned, there became a huge online cult following and demand increased for vintage Ewing shoes from all over the world and in 2012 Patrick has relaunched Ewing Athletics.

So In honor of the return of this historic shoe, our very own Frank Cooke took the time to piece together a nice outfit to go along with your new Ewing sneakers. Check out and click the items below to see price and other information. The Ewing 33 Hi will be available here at Wish this Saturday. Phone orders will be welcome on this sneaker after 5:00PM EST on the day of the release by calling 404.880.0402 ext #2.
