For the next installment in our Black History Month Spotlight Series, we turn the focus onto a fierce Philly female named Nadia Bosket, who is using basketball as a vehicle to empower the youth in her community through her organization Hoop Dreams Inc.

When REC Philly and Lapstone & Hammer first began ideating on what a collaboration could look like, there was one common theme in mind - community. We both quickly realized that this is the most powerful connection point between a lifestyle brand championing culture and fashion and a 10,000 square foot creative facility just blocks away in the heart of Philadelphia. We wanted to make something that our community could see themselves in - the hip-hop heads, sneaker lovers, the creative freelancer, the street photographer and really everyone in between.

In honor of Black History Month, Lapstone & Hammer will be using our platform to share the stories and amplify the work of three amazing philanthropists who are making invaluable contributions in diverse communities throughout the city of Philadelphia.
To kick off the BHM Spotlight Series we are spotlighting Rahim Thompson. Rahim is a local legend in the city's basketball community for founding The Chosen League - one of the country's biggest high-school basketball leagues, but it is his work with the Team Thompson Family Foundation that we want to call attention to here.

On Saturday, February 3rd, Lapstone & Hammer will debut their first capsule of the new year: LAPSTONE INDIGO 2024. While the theme of indigo is a Lapstone staple, the additions of Standard Issue and Asics make this a release not to be missed. Featuring cardigans, hoodies, tees and sweats made especially for us by our friends at Standard Issue, and two of Asics’ most popular runners hand-dyed right here in Philly, this is a collection unlike any we’ve done before.

If you were to walk around Philadelphia with your head down making only shoe contact, you might come to the conclusion that Philly is the Asics Capital of the World. It seems like just about everyone is rocking a pair of the iconic Japanese brand's early 2000s tech runners right now, which makes them the perfect choice for our initial foray into dip-dyeing shoes as part of LAPSTONE INDIGO 2024. Releasing on Saturday, February 3rd, we are proud to present: Lapstone for Asics "Indigo Dip Dye" Gel-NYC and Gel-1130. Click through to find out more about the project...
