Keep Your Pants On... For Now. Street Flips Apparel

It's time to flip the streets. Did you know that in New York City alone there are over 200,000 homeless people right now. Many people think it's a decision; however, is it impossible for your job to be lost due to layoffs, your house to be burnt down, and/or your health to be lost which could place you hundreds-of-thousands of dollars in debt from medical bills? Sometimes, homelessness just happens. But, keep your pants on.
Street Flips will be officially launching our urbanwear line of fashion in early June and many of our proceeds will be used by us to feed, cloth, empower, and provide homes for homeless people living in New York City. We won't be donating to a non-profit. We will be doing it all ourselves, going to ground-level, and giving the money and encouraging homeless individuals face-to-face and not just by blindly throwing money into a bucket or envelope. Personally, I rarely see all the money that is donated annually ever actually appear in the hands of the homeless, so we are taking out the action so we can make sure results are accomplished.
Currently we are in talks with a few clothing manufacturing companies and working on post-design for many of the first run of t-shirts that will be available. So, keep on your pants for now, but the shirt's got to go. Our new line of Ts is going to represent the free and limitless life of a Street Flipper/trickster as you see in our webisodes but also we wanted to figure out a way in which we could give back to the community. Our slogan for this line is: "We're not just flipping in the streets, we're flipping the streets."
Meanwhile, while you wait for our new line of apparel, check out one of our clothing partner's (All Souled Out) latest shoe designs and t-shirt runs.















It's time to start tricking out this world, and not just by wearing cool clothes.
