Arize: Besides havin a crazy apparel line you also produce BMX parts and accessories. How did you guys pull off such a dope brand?
Thanks for the kind words. Being passionate about what we do. I started my 1st brand in 1986 and then Shadow in 2001. Shadow is what we want out of a brand / Crew and not what the market states we should be. We are not driven by the almighty dollar we are driven by creating and having the Dollars be a product of doing something unique.

Arize: Whats in the ipod right now? Lol….typical I know…
The Melvins, Joy division, Wolfmother, Black Sabbath, etc.

Arize: What does Shadow Conspiracy mean? Don’t get to deep on me…lol
Shadow is our vehicle to express our ideas of the darker side of life and to make people think!

Arize: Oh ok, So with the BMX background of all you guys the mix of shirts and BMX bike parts you guys seem to have a wide range of stuff to keep you busy and never bored huh?
Busy is not the word for it, ha ha. But with that said there is never a dull moment and if we have an idea we go for it, hence the busy side, ha ha.

Arize: That stripper shirt is the sh^%$$! But I think I’ll be a lil creeped out walkin into the strip club only to find inside-out hoes shakin for dollars!! Lol Whats goes into the shirts you guys make?…thought process etc..
Pussy, ha ha, only joking. We like to create designs that get people thinking and reacting. It is easy to design using the trendy new design techniques but to go out on and do something that makes a statement and makes people think that is what a shirt is suppose to do!

Arize: Give the wanna-be-entrepreneurs a lil tip on getting their own stuff off the ground and being successful in the apparel line business…
Have a direction, Be a Creator and not a Replicator. There is enough of that. Links:
