And THATS A WRAP— 1 weekend, 100 artists, 800+ art pieces, a million photos and words, and only 20 slots and 200 characters. This first @femmeartfair was one for the BOOKS, do you hear me! I mean when you’re working with a passionate and incredible team (not pictured) it’s easy for work to no longer feel like work. Especially when you’re making new connections and solidifying new chosen family. I think it’s easy to say that DC and the arts community at large *needed* this…and what an honor to champion @studiousan & @frontrunnerprod to see it to fruition. Until next time ✌🏾

Last month, New Balance presented its newest silhouette in collaboration with the Navy Yard-based streetwear boutique SOMEWHERE®, calling on the D.C. sneaker community and art world to celebrate the early release of the New Balance 1954R ahead of its global debut. NUNAR’s Editor-in-Chief Damon J. Barnes and Executive Editor Darius Barnes joined a full house of D.C. scenesters for a special all-white affair at the Silver Social in Navy Yard, a block away from SOMEWHERE’s flagship store and cafe — including sneaker scene mainstays SOMEWHERE co-founder Dom Adams and super collector Abdul Fouzi, and art stars like Brian Bailey Jr. and art advisor Chela Mitchell. See the full gallery at the link in bio. Photos by @g2esquire The 1954R was exclusively available in SOMEWHERE’s shop for a week ahead of it’s global drop on July 17. The model draws on the city’s love of grey New Balance sneakers, combining design elements from the 2002R and 1906R heritage silhouettes. The collaboration is another example of major footwear companies tapping DMV-based collaborators and respected creatives in the sneaker space to unveil new models or co-design new shoes. Earlier this year, Baltimore’s Carpet Company and Salomon Sportstyle unveiled their co-designed XT Whisper Void sneaker. Few sneaker brands are as deeply rooted in D.C. and Baltimore sneaker culture as New Balance. Once the brand's now-iconic 990 silhouette took over D.C.'s street culture in the 1980s, it began a lineage of designs and collaborations dedicated to the region. When New Balance released the "Baltimore vs. DC" pack in April, New Balance Associate Product Manager Myles Williams told The Baltimore Sun, "We wanted to take a step back and pay homage to where the trendsetters really started it." D.C. trendsetters in the music and art scenes made the New Balance 990 a cult classic, and they continue to show up for new, coveted versions and collaborations. SOMEWHERE's position as a hotspot for D.C.'s creative class allowed the shop's owners to reach a who's-who of creatives and placemakers for the launch of the 1954R.

I’m still riding high from hosting my friends for my favorite summer holiday. Juneteenth means so much to me. It’s a time to gather in community, honor our ancestors, and celebrate freedom and traditions. I love our culture, our creativity, our language, our laughter. I just love being Black. Happy Juneteenth!
