YEAR ONE.

Titan opened it's doors a year ago, and since then it has inspired countless kids to ball better, to look fresh, and to be well groomed. Some may call it "The Home Of Sneakerheads", which is not a fair, nor complete assessment of the establishment. It's more than that.

I call them family.

Hoop dreams come alive in this place. A country club for like-minded individuals. The headquarters of basketball glory. For some, Titan provides an escape from PMS-ing girlfriends... Or a place to spiffen up before a hot date. For a few, the starting point of a revolution... and for many, a place of reward - the last stop at the end of a long, victorious day.

Last Friday people flocked the Titan flagship at The Fort to celebrate it's first birthday. Everyone was there: From the regular joe, to industry people in the know. From media personalities, to hardcourt ballers and professional athletes. Even SBTG graced the dope event with his presence, which meant art scene folk were also in attendance.

The event gave off a house party vibe (reminiscent of the ones we have in the south), but the energy was electric. Anxious urbanites loosened up immediately upon entering the party. With models and bottles 'round, who wouldn't be?

Our fam at UNSCHLD also brought their good stuff over! You folks should not sleep on their DVT apparel... Heard it's extremely limited. I got myself a hoodie, which I am absolutely happy with. Congrats yo!

Amazing food and drinks were provided by Titan's next door neighbor Bugsy's! Every bit was delish, too bad we missed the burgers... We'll be back for that!

Good music was not on short supply either! Mars Miranda, MikeCons, DJ Switchtrik and BigBoy provided party life music the entire night! Salutes to you guys!

For Titan, and for yours truly, this was another night to truly realize just how blessed we are. I pride myself in being an individual, but still thankful that I'm part of this movement, this revolution that Titan has taken upon itself to push on. I am truly grateful that I'm in this culture with them.

So congratulations to the entire Titan fam, year one is in the books! And we're on to the next!

Peep the photos after the jump.
