CHIT STREET TEAM....D.C- Mike Street

Here's the story behind the artistic genius....Mike Street, get familiar


Well here we go. Legal name is Michael Street yes, Street. I come
from the ever changing DC Metropolitan area. Metro Area is mad
general, I know, and there are so many types of people, styles, and
ideals that it would take forever for anyone not from here what it
means to be from Manassass vs. The District vs. Silver Spring vs.
Largo. But it all comes together somehow to paint this crazy city
that despite its tiny size is a mover and shaker in both culture and
politics. Splitting 26 weeks of the year in Silver Spring and the
other 26 in the NE quadrant of the District with my Dad has graced me
with a unique eye. It taught me how to walk. No, really walk through
an area. What do you see, smell, hear, or sense as you get to
wherever you need to get? And depending where you are it is
completely different. People are just now getting a sense of how
diverse the area is getting and how each area is adapting separately.
You can see guys running around in H & M pea coats and Nike Boots with
Abstract tees. My appreciation of my surroundings started early and
hasn't fully been realized. From observing the history of subway
writers like Cool "Disco" Dan, Tyme, the iconic Borf, and new guys on
the scene like Magic, and Stop the War to the establishment of 3 new
skate shops within the city-limits: Kickballers, Palace 5, and Asylum
to the re-opening of Attitude in College Park; to the sick new gear
shops sprinkled throughout the area; and the resurfacing of that
previously hood skate spot in Shaw I have been molded into a cultural
connoisseur. I would describe my style as "back to basics" with an
emphasis on denim. I can't wait to finish off these STFs so I can
move onto some raw Japanese denims, but other than that I have a
decent kick game with an emphasis on pinks. I just want to help
market CHIT because it is so clean and simplistic. It's getting away
from the overwhelming prints and screens of today's tees to the
simplicity and taste of future "street wear". But to me there's no
such thing as "street wear", it all depends on where you live and
that's what makes the clothes a hot item because it's like being on
the inside. You have something no one else has because it's only on
YOUR streets. By reaching out to all these different regions Todd is
doing CHIT big because it'll never get stale and generalized. It will
remain plugged into each region thanks to incredible team he's
surrounded himself with. I'm crazy excited to be apart of this. So
that's me ya'll Mike Street. Later.
