INTERVIEW
XPOZ Magazine
XPOZ: When did your company get started and where are you based out of?
2002 then shortly after took a lil break but got official with everything in 06. before 06 it was pretty much our learning process of the do’s and dont’s. since day one we’ve been repping out of long beach, ca.
XPOZ: In the tshirt-heavy world of streetwear, what other strengths do you have that set you apart from the competition?
Really we make what we want, we don't try to follow any fashion trends we have just been lucky enough to have supporters who feel what we are trying to do..We are hip hop heads who happen to make gear that caters to the community of where we’re from. we are active within the culture we are still in the streets grinding...started out grass roots and we still growing.
XPOZ: Who is your Head Designer, and how did he/she get in the mix?
Juan Alfaro, we met him outside of a home depot and we’ve kept him in the sweatshop ever since..nah just kidding he actually happens to be one of the owners of edukation athletics.
XPOZ: What message would you say your line conveys?
We represent hip hop as a culture and we are just trying to preserve those elements there is a much younger generation out there who didn't get to experience the things we did. we just want to edukate those who didn't have the opportunity to witness some of the culture that we did.
XPOZ: Where do you and the people behind the line gather inspiration from?
Our own personal experiences and what we see lacking in the media. We feel its time to praise the positives and try to convey it in our art.
XPOZ: Where can your products be found?
We have many locations overseas but you can find all the info at www.edukationathletics.com
