P.H.I.L.T.H.Y x iV


If anyone knows iV, they know that we enjoy good music.. VERY good music.. and on that note we decided to sponsor a few of our favorite artist (i.e. like the Swinn article a few posts down). Well another artist that we sponsor is P.H.I.L.T.H.Y. I'll post pics of him in iV when we get em.. in the meantime.. download his EP 'Love Songs for Losers and Ballads for Ballers'



Freshest Dressed.. huh what??

We have released a new Men shirt.. 'The Freshest Dressed has ArriVed' is in stock. Limited supply as usual.. only 25 of these bad babies were made.. period.
-100% Preshrunk Cotton
-Silkscreened
-Designed by Bruce Pettit (yeah he's new lol)


Polos Polos Polos

Yes it's true, iV has finally released the first set of polos... Men's and women's as a matter of fact. These particular polos are made of premium pima cotton and embroidered with fluorescent polyester thread. The embroidered logo is about 3 inches or so in size. The women's polos are made to fit a womanly shape with more buttons so the collar opens up more. These babies run $45 a pop (which is a lot cheaper than other QUALITY polos these days).

SWINN x iV


Today I had the pleasure of meeting Swinn for the first time ever in life. Keep in mind though, I've heard this man's music and he's a monster. He is definitely one of the well known artists around Flint, MI as far as hip-hop goes. I won't say too much more about him.. Check his Music out though... ITS A FREE ALBUM DOWNLOAD

Wale x Identical Variant



When Interscope Records emcee Wale came to Tennesee to perform in concert, Identical Variant's rep in the state, Terrance Robinson, was wearing the "Jockin My Fresh" tee. Wale was so impressed with the shirt that Terrance gave him both that shirt and the "I Come In Piece" tee. Apparently, Wale was feeling the other tee as well - he wore it on stage that night! Pictures below.







Identical Variant would like to thank Wale, and all of our other buyers and fans, for supporting us. We've got even more material in the works, so trust, this is only the beginning! 

For more on Wale, visit his web site HERE. To purchase your own "I Come In Piece" and "Jockin My Fresh" tees, visit the I.V. web store HERE

Studio 4C x Nike Japan - REALCITY (NikeiD)


This ain't necessarily I.V. related by it's definitely something we're about - good art and excellent fashion. Found this on Hypbeast and I thought I'd share this with the cool kids...

Teaming up with director Koji Morimoto and Studio 4°C, Nike Japan produces another animated short following up on their collaborative success with The Chamber of Fear series in 2005. This time around, the stunning commercial was made to endorse Nike iD’s newest customization feature, the addition of their classic Blazer model. Along with a stunning visual kaleidoscope, REALCITY offers a fully interactive new website for ultimate shoe customization. Be sure to check out the video in high resolution format!

EDIT: Hey, might as well hit y'all up with the hilarious Mike Epps x DJ AM x Kobe commercial they got out for the NikeiD campaign as well.
