[Video] Estevan Oriol featured on Last Call with Carson Daly

Estevan and Eriberto Oriol

Big shouts to Estevan Oriol and his father Eriberto for being featured in this Carson Daly Spotlight. We've been rocking with Estevan for a long time.  I interviewed him back in 2008, when we were just starting out (read that interview here).  At the time, I had no idea that his father also was a photographer, but it turns out they make a dynamic father and son combo.  Watch the feature below.

Dope.Boy.Magic.: King David Crew Neck

David Stern Crew

Take that David Stern!  Our homies at Dope.Boy.Magic. have put together this very limited crew neck that serves as a backhanded compliment to David Stern.  It's kind of like how Chicagoans feel about Mayor Daley in a way.  People hate him, but in the end, Stern had his way.  This is available now via their store, and limited to only 32 pieces.  Get your fashion game up and cop one now.

"This crewneck was released just in time for Commissioner, David Stern, to announce the end of the NBA lockout.Stern, and the owners, closed the deal with a new collective bargaining agreement that will return a larger share of basketball-related income to them. Swag that dude out, HE'S A MOTHERFUCKIN BOSS!

Limited to 32 crews, once their gone...they're gone."
