Streets of Venice is honored to have been chosen by C1RCA as the spot to release the Black Tear. A collaboration between C1RCA and Designer Jun Cha, The Black Tear is Insane. They are set to drop at the Streets on May 1st. Below is the back story on the shoe:
Jun Cha is an LA based illustrator, painter, tattooist, and designer. Rooted within the culture of Fine Line Black n Grey tattooing, Jun's art career has been watched over, and guided by the master's of today's industry of fine line black n grey. Jun is widely regarded for his tattoo work that grace the flesh of celebrities, locals and other worldwide personalities.
In the same respect, his career as an illustrator is equally fueled by influences of education through Art Center. Today, Jun has developed within the depths of his work through his own Arudima Studios, endlessly evolving, collaborating, and encompassing a process that transcends the limitations in today's standard art forms.
The Black Tear capsule is the expression of the artist's own vision, one in which the transition from death and sacrifice, symbolized by a mother's profile and tear drop, paradoxically is the key to freedom and growth of one's true roots. Intuitive, psychological, yet simple, this shoe bridges the gaps between design and tattooing. Although they both differ in application, they share the same encrypted quality that The Black Tear conveys. In time of pain, division and conflict, C1RCA and Jun come together, to unify, and emphasize the ground of commitment. A commitment to skateboarding. A commitment to art. And a commitment to these streets. One tear, one kill, one voice. Join us this 2010, as C1RCA and Jun coalesces the world in shedding The Black Tear.
