Rebellious Nomad Lookbooks

The 'Us Versus Them' 2012 SS Editorial is a Sandy Adventure

The ‘Us Versus Them’ 2012 SS lookbook ventures into the desert of Southern California. The team wanders out into Landers, California, a hot spot for earthquake wreckage. The dried up lake bed is notorious for being strewed with massive looming boulders and rock formations.

The Us Versus Them line was founded by James Banuelos and Mike Glory. The duo are subtly poetic and complex. The company site briefly outlines their personalities, and Glory signs off saying, “Us versus them // improvise and survive.”  Not only is the apparel high quality and street fresh, but it also holds this unmissable vibe if strength and earned wisdom.

Check out the The Us Versus Them 2012 SS lookbook for some dapper spring styles.
