The full set up:

The deck is an 8” bamboo board. It’s pretty small though, I think an 8.5” would be better.

Hardware:
•Independent Trucks Stage XI Hollow
•Bones Retros Side Cut Wheels
•Bones Reds Bearings
•Fire Ball Spacers

This might be a better set up than I used to ride back in the day!!! Maybe because it’s all new, I used to piece my decks together back then, lack of money. Ha

I finally put this skate deck together, I’ve had the hardware for months now and decided to knock it out. I love the bottom graphic, shout out to Jess at @gamut_arts. Also, I really love how the grip tape came out, that was a labor of love. Smh.

It’s been about 15 years since I’ve jumped on a board, I’m definitely rusty and feel very uncomfortable on it, lol. Give me some time to get my legs back and I’ll be good.

Please read and please share!!!

As you know @akepeleapparel teamed up with @djklyph to produce a short run of commemorative event tees for this past Sundays Mic Check 7 Year Anniversary hip hop event.

With that said, we still have a few tees available, so If you didn’t make the event or didn’t cop your tee at the event, you can still get one while supplies last.
Here is the best part, we are honored to team up with @blackmenswellnesspdx for the remaining tees and are donating $10 from the sale of each tee to the organization.
Black Men’s Wellness PDX is a fantastic grassroots organization providing resources and support for black men throughout our Portland metro area.

There are a few tees in all sizes remaining SM-2XL, don’t delay!!!

You can get yours at akepele.com > shop > collabos. Or
akepele.com/products/mic-check-7.

Much love!!!

We had a dope setup and nice spread of merch for Mic Check 7 Year Anniversary event this past weekend.

I dropped a couple new pieces at the event that took off. The new Supa Dupa Fly tee and the new colorways of Hip Hop Blvd Remix and The Foundation 2023 were hits. Most importantly, the commemorative Mic Check 7 Event tee moved too and we have a few remaining, stay tuned for details on this piece.

Huge thank you to my boo @melissathongtan for the assist in the setup and holding down the booth much of the night, you’re the bestest!!!

Again, thank you @djklyph for having Akepele be part of the dopest event this side of the Mississippi…

First off, the Mic Check 7 Year Anniversary was super dope!!! If you didn’t make it out you really missed something special.

I have to give a huge thank you to my friend @djklyph for always including me & @akepeleapparel in whatever you have going on. You’re a true friend and genuine supporter.

For those who don’t know, Klyph loves hip hop and loves this city and uses his many platforms (podcast, radio shows, numerous events) to show love to the talent in this city, selflessly. He’s got a knack for building community, making connections, and connecting people. I call him the king of networking!!! All of this to say, he does this for simply for the love of the culture, never asking for anything in return.

This is why Mic Check 7 at @missiontheaterpdx this past Sunday was so dope, all of this networking, building, and planning paid off. People showed up and showed out in such a positive way. This was such a dope event with incredible talent from open to close with many surprises throughout. Everyone was smiling, dancing, and thoroughly enjoying themselves.

In addition to the roster of artists, every detail was executed flawlessly, from the VIP lanyards and artists bracelets, to the creative name badge raffle and prizes were on point. The branding was top notch.

I’m extremely proud of you and appreciative of you!!!

Can’t wait for this next thing we got coming up. 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

Much love!!!

-Renzo
