Behind the Blog: Street Blogs from the Best in the Business - Part 5

The conclusion to our Behind the Blogs feature joins us with Kevin Ma, founder of Hypebeast, arguably the most well-known, and most frequented site on the subject. We got the chance to discuss with Kevin why he started his site four years ago, how much time and work he continues to immerse in Hypebeast - not even taking time off when on holiday - how his role has changed over time, and much more.

The fourth of our five-part feature has us talking with Adam Bryce, founder of Slamxhype. Started back in New Zealand in 2003, Adam’s site has grown to become one of the most progressive sites dealing with street culture today. Most recently he has made a very big - some might say very risky - move into the world of print with the New World Order quarterly. Adam shares his thoughts with us on the changes his site - and blogs in general - has gone through over the years, what his plans are for the future of Slamxhype and his newly founded magazine, and more.

For the third installment of our week-long feature, we talk with Terry Ng, founder of Kineda.

Terry has been there through it all, documenting it to show to his readers the world over. Read on to find out to why he launched his site, to what extremes he went to get his name out there, and more.

The second of our five-part feature has us speaking with Yu-Ming Wu, co-founder of Freshness and founder of Sneaker News. Yu-Ming was one of the first to create a blog concentrating on streetwear and sneakers. Together with Dan Hwang, they were pioneers in the game, launching Freshness way back in 2003 when the street blogosphere was a barren and lonely place, a stark contrast to the hundreds of blogs we have today. Yu-Ming tells us how he got started, what his thoughts are on the abundance of blogs today, and more.

Our first installment of a five-part feature finds us talking with David Fischer, founder of Highsnobiety. Based in Switzerland, and established in 2005, it started much in the way many blogs first do, with a humble blogspot site. Over the course of four years, however, David has expanded under his Titel Media flag to include five separate sites, with Highsnobiety leading the pack as one of the most credible sites around; an authority on the daily occurrences surrounding street culture.

“I always wanted to be Flyboy from the original Dawn of the Dead, but he turned into a zombie, which is still kind of cool I guess….”

We got a chance to catch up with Greg Rivera from NYC brand, Mishka. He tells us about his obsession with toys and Mr. T, what inspires him, what he feels is his biggest success to date, and more…

“MOB is in a category of its own because of the projects I choose to do, the people I work with, who’s behind the brand, and I keep shit tight!”

Leah McSweeney is a busy young lady. The founder of MOB definitely has it cut out for her running the brand by herself, not to mention taking care of her one-month old daughter, Kier. Somehow, she still managed to set aside time to sit down and answer some of our questions. She gives us her thoughts on the current state of streetwear, tells us about the concept behind the summer line, and shares her newly-found experiences of being a mother. Leah really is the Most Official Bitch…
