The Anwar Carrots X Puma release event took place last night in a small Puma-owned nook in Los Angeles. An intimate gathering of the coolest of cool people – and the drunkest of drunk people – it was a refreshingly laid-back introduction to the collaborative collection.

As with most events that I attend, I was enticed by the prospect of free food and beer. Jesse from Free Range – our newest contributor – did not disappoint. He conjured his trademark fried chicken. This is the second time that Jesse has obliterated my taste-muscles with fried chicken. Remember?

I didn’t ask what was in the squirty bottle. I never do.

But it was delicious. Jesse in his element is crazy. He’s like the chicken-maker dictator. This dude means bidness.

Anwar Carrots was on-site to usher in the release of his collaborative shoe and T-shirt collection with Puma. He’s a cool guy – rubbed shoulders with all the peasants and normal-folk.

The shoes that provoked the event, presented in Black or Grey suede, were on display.

DomBeets set the tone.

Mr. Vegetables was also on-deck.

As was Hennessey, which was consumed vigorously.

Casey Veggies busted out a surprise set.

And then somebody put some shoes on a cake.

And then Anwar put some shoes near his face.
