#PeepTheVisual: Warchyld – “Independence Day”

As America celebrated its independence this 4th of July, Philly’s own Warchyld is kicking off his own celebration, celebrating his status as an indie artist in the game. This July 4th, he released a powerful piece called “Independence Day” that takes us inside the hustle he’s been on for the past few years.

Warchyld’s motto is “Do something impossible,” and he fully intends to be a living embodiment of his motto. Many don’t believe that an artist can succeed in the game without a major label backing them. Warchyld is out to prove the industry wrong, building himself up as an indie powerhouse with music, branding, merch, and tours.

Shot and directed by David Garcia of Between Pictures, this powerful short vlog showcases Warchyld ready for war, and ready to take hip hop back to its original roots, with lyricism, and good music.

As we get ready to celebrate this year’s Independence Day in a couple of weeks, Asics will drop three colorways of the Gel-Respectors inspired by Old Glory and lands.

The colorways will be inspired by the 4th of July, red, white (cream) and blue. Each shoe has a brushed suede upper, with cream detailing throughout the mid-sole – tongue and branding, giving it a vintage look. It is a combination of durable and smooth leather upper, gel cushioned EVA foam mid-sole and rubber outside with flex grooves for comfort.

This pack is set to launch on June 25th at select retailers, but seems to already be available at some places online. There will be a retail price of $130. This gives you sometimes to get your for right before the cookouts,night outings and fireworks! This won’t be the on,y shoe showing homage to Independence Day, but they sure are worth for the style and comfort.

The running shoes latest collab was with two big Japanese sneaker retailers, Beams and Mita. The shoe was inspired by the Japanese souvenir jacket, that has been produced by brands such as H&M. The shoe was constructed with an all-black suede upper, with camp marbled out-sole. Also included Japan embroider on each heel, a tiger head and Japanese text patches on the back.
