Here’s a first glimpse on an upcoming AKA project which will be a book of photography by Yuri Shibuya. For those not familiar, Yuri has been spending her summers over the last ten years walking the streets and hanging out with the ragtag cast of characters that help define the downtown New York City scene. With a particular emphasis on documenting graffiti, street culture, and especially skaters, Yuri’s photography is a very honest and nostalgic glimpse at street life in the Big Apple over the last decade. Anyhow, designed by the AKA Crew and Yuri, expect to see this drop later this year. In the meantime, here’s a few images…
