Kanye West / Pablo Pop-Up Shop

On Friday, August 19, Kanye West launched one of his 21 temporary Life of Pablo stores in Miami. Although he wasn't there in person, the whole situation could not have been more Kanye.

The store delayed opening two hours because they didn't receive their shipment of clothes hangers in time (obviously you can't put Ye's merch on just ANY hangers) - even though people had been waiting outside in the Miami heat for more than 12 hours. The crowd was hot and frustrated, but they kept waiting. Lowest priced item in the store was a $55 cheaply printed t-shirt, highest priced was a $250 bomber jacket. Images for GQ.

Fresh Paint

On Monday, July 25, police blocked off NW Second Ave between 27th and 28th streets in Wynwood as a mob gathered to watch Will Smith and the crew of Suicide Squad unveil a new mural themed after the upcoming movie. Local street artists Diana "Didirok" Contreras and Amanda Valdes spent a week collaboratively painting the wall. To hype the unveil, Warner Bros. threw an afternoon block party hosted by DJ Laz. Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado stopped by to say a few words on stage before the reveal. Slideshow for Miami New Times.

#BlackLivesMatter Protest

After a heavy week of national tragedy, Miami came together Saturday, July 9, to protest and march against police brutality and gun violence. A crowd of all ages and races slowly formed in front of the Wynwood Walls starting at 6 p.m. People brought signs and stood peacefully in protest for an hour, occasionally chanting phrases in unison like "Hands up, guns down" and "No justice, no peace, no violent police" before marching around Wynwood and then all the way down to Bayside and back. The congregation started accumulating momentum as it moved downtown, proudly engulfing half the street and eventually Biscayne Boulevard. Slideshow for Miami New Times.
