This past Sunday, KCRW DJs Anthony Valadez and Liza Richardson provided the sounds at Union‘s daytime jump off to celebrate the new Jack Purcell X Mackintosh collaboration. If that sounds foreign to you, you must not be a sneaker collector.
See, sneaker collectors are a serious bunch. They will show up before dawn and line up around the block to get some exclusive kicks.
Being a music fan requires a similar dedication, so we think these two go hand in hand. Like peanut butter and jelly. Or like Converse and Best Coast.
Union is one of the coolest shops on La Brea and we were thrilled to be part of the party (there was also free food and dominoes in the Cali sun).
