I admit I was skeptical that this shit would ever show up, but finally on March 18th, 2008 the shipment arrived. This was the first shipment of Matix that the shop has ever received, and since it was a little late we did opt to not get very many sweatshirts and with exception to one style we barely got any.
Marc Johnson Signature Series: First lets talk, MJ, aside form some speculation in the shop most of the product with his name on it is fire. We got some corduroy pants, sweaters, short-sleeve no collar polos, and some MJ signature jeans.
Rick McCrank Signature Jeans: Without question one of the better looking jeans in the mix, comes custom with the shoelace belt with g-string protection haha.
Daewon Song Signature Jeans: The only black denim in the bunch, it’s a bit shiny but I haven’t personally tried them on so I am not sure how they feel.
T-shirts: Huge array of t-shirts from the all-over fire to the standard shit, we also have the MJ signature shirts as mentioned above. The shirts range in price because of the styles but overall I would say its a good selection of shirts and should be up to anyones tastes thats looking to rep some Matix.
Jeans: Overall the jeans look really fire, I have tired on a couple of pairs and there all relatively comfortable, I can’t say much about if they bleed while you skate yet since I just got myself a few pairs today, I do know that the slim-fit jeans are anything but, this is without question not a hesh company haha.
Hats: Couple of fitted hats and some flexfit as well, the styles are decent, if your looking for a hat we have a couple to choose from but it’s not a very large selection.
That about covers everything, we got a ton of it in today so for those of you that have been waiting as many years as I have for this shit to finally come to Velocity then go fiend and pick some up 
After years upon years of struggle the first ever shoe has finally arrived at Velocity, can’t say I was all that optimistic considering the lack of contact we have had and the gloomy forecast of the ship dates, but the shit finally happened. We got in some Carroll’s and while it’s only one shoe it is a representation of the things to come, expect a lot more Lakai, DVS, and Matix to be arriving shortly.
Fucking stoked.
