Here’s my recap of the In4mation x G Shock One Love Release Party:
First of all, I’d like to give a very BIG SHOUT OUT to Jun Jo (@in4mjun) inviting me to the VIP portion of the In4mation x G Shock One Love Release Party.
A couple weeks ago, the guys at In4mation talked about their upcoming collaboration with G Shock & the massive party they were gonna have at Mai Tais. I almost fainted when Jun Jo said he wanted me to attend & blog about the event; since I was a kid I used to rock G Shock watches.
My three dates for the night: Riana, Nicole & Gene arrived when the party first started & that turned out to be a great decision; especially since we had our own table for the rest of the night. Last night was my first visit to Mai Tais & I’ve been missing out on all of their amazing & delicious good; whenever the waitresses asked if we wanted to sample a dish, my response was always, «YEAH, I wanna try!»
For awhile I was nervous there wouldn’t be an event that would compare to Red Bull’s BPM party, but In4mation x G Shock One Love Party was just as amazing. There was entertainment from world famous Deadly Dragon Sound Crew from NYC, Mighty Crown from Japan & Ooklah the Moc + gorgeous glass displays of the In4mation x G Shock watches. Also In4mation held a mini Cheee Huuu contest just for the ladies. I had such a blast bonding with new friends, enjoying delicious food, running into old friends & supporting In4mation all in the same night.
Congratulations In4mation & thank you for last night; it’s just another reason this has been my favorite summer so far!

Better than the Ward location, they had stuff for girls! =) A bit cluttered, but the friendly staff and variety of clothing more than make up for it. Reminds me of a couple shops you’ll find back in the Bay =)

Great place to get some urban sick clothing. always copp something from this store (usually Pearlridge) since they have a lot of interesting shirts and hats. I’ve been going shopping at this location for over 3 years. Great selection and always have something going on (like keychains or stickers with a purchase). I say when I head down to Pearlridge, I go to to Prototype, Razor concepts and this In4. Great atmosphere and hella chill in there

5 points just for the stylin’ gal working the register. She was very engaging, helpful, and friendly. This spot is on the second floor near the Waikiki shopping center, next to a burger joint.
Basically, I was told by her, that this store is called Aloha Army. (related to in4mation) This store is intended to more friendly to the masses. Kind of like the Zumies (but wayyyy better) to the In4mation. It has more of a beachy fun young vibe here.
Aside from their big wall of brand shirts, I guess you would say that you would find a lot of things here you can find elsewhere on the island. One of the reviews of this spot commented on the merchandising of the store, and it looks like they listened to him. I see no disaster here. In fact, it needs to be mentioned that this store is pretty organized and laid out well without making you feel uncomfortable and not want to touch anything.
Yay! They also sell women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories. Nothing too fancy. They also have some wallets, key chains, toys, and accouterments under the glass near the register. Like In4mation, they have a map available of other stores you should check out.
Pricing is moderate, pretty standard.

I have been a fan of the in4mation brand for a min. The store was nice and had a decent selection of items to choose from. My only complaint was that I walked in and was looking around for probably over 20 mins with the employee not even acknowledging me… He finally said something when I had to walk up to the counter to look at accessories through the counter showcase. After that he seemed to be more willing to help me out and I was the only customer in the shop at the time. If you’re on the strip and don’t feel like venturing out to the other location, then grab something here. But don’t expect too much on the customer service tip, unless you ask for help…

i visited this in4mation shop when i was on vacay here a couple of weeks ago. the staff is hella nice and chill. shout out to Justin and Ryan! BTW, if you’re trying to find the shop, its on the 2^nd floor!
i bought a couple of in4mation tee shirts that were only available on the islands. they just happen to be on sale so that was a plus. my sister bought a stussy tee shirt and print was kinda messed up, so they hooked it up with a lil discount. Justin was super chill!
i had to come back a second time cuz i really didnt find anything to bring back for a gift of a couple of buddies of mine, so i bought a couple more shirts there. i chopped it up with Ryan that was working there and he threw in a license plate frame for me since i was visiting from the mainland. FYI, the frame is on my ride!
the only drawback from this location is that it doesn’t has as much stuff as the other in4mation locations. the other locations carry more brands and kicks.

Awesome store with staff who is enthusiastic about their clothes and have loads of information about ‘em. The prices are a bit high, so that’s the main reason for one star loss. Still recommended;)
FYI, it’s UPSTAIRS!

I love the look of in4mation. I love their clothes, shoes, etc. It is a tad bit expensive. Maybe like $ 25 at the most for a tshirt. Not bad considering places like Macy’s sell tops for $ 40. I never buy jeans from here because they never fit me. I normally go for the shirts, and to look at the new shoes that they have. I stopped collecting shoes, so I haven’t gone to in4mation in a while. But if you’re a shoe collector, in4mation is worth checking out.

if ur into that urban hip hopstyle, this place is for u… but be prepares to cough up some dough. it’s a bit pricey… kindda like an urban outfitters. it’s the brand ur paying for :) they have a nice selection of hats and their kicks are pretty dope. definitely worth a visit: D go check them out!

I’m not much of a fan of this type of clothing but my boyfriend and brother are so we stopped in to see what they had. The sales associate went above and beyond to help us find the sizes we wanted and told us the story behind a lot of the local brands they carry. We ended up getting a few Defend Hawaii and Paulele shirts to bring home. The SA told us they only carried Paulele at the Lewers location and the brand wouldn’t be going out to the mainland. On top of that she even gave us a free shirt by a local kids brand called Litl Saints for our nephew. The service here is outstanding and the selection is pretty good too.

I stumbled in here expecting… something better. What I found was a whole bunch of overpriced t-​shirts and jeans. I’m the kind of person who just can’t stand to pay for a t-​shirt. It’s a t-​shirt for crying out loud! Every school, fundraiser, and volunteer event gives them out for free! I refuse to buy anything styled like a t-​shirt. And to pay $ 20 or $ 30 for one… outrageous. Same goes for all the branded stuff they have in here, which is probably made in a sweatshop and can be found at better quality in a non-​branded (or at least cheaper) version. I am not used to seeing clothes like this in a boutique-​like setting.

I’ve been copping new gear from the original in4mation, and the lewers joint before it turned aloha army.
always been loyal, never had any problems, enjoyed choppin it up with the friendly wahine employees all the time.
i go to school in cali and all of the workers always told me i could still cop gear through phone orders and online. so that i didnt have to wait until my summer and winter breaks to hit the store.
LONG STORY SHORT: i ordered gear online, got the wrong order. it took forever to contact someone who knew what the deal was and get my original gear that i ordered in my hands. said they’d reimburse for shipping back the wrong stuff, never happened. took me a while to get my original order…
3*‘s is me being generous. so sad. i been a fan since hanabada days too.

This is a great little store in the heart of Waikiki. Lots of cool t-​shirts to choose from, among other things. The guy who was working the night I stopped in was really friendly and helpful regarding sizes, since I was buying for a friend. I got an RVCAloha shirt. It fit perfectly and my friend was really pleased. I will be back next time I am in town for sure. A+ for selection. This store reminds me of True or Upper Playground in SF. Mahalo.

My destination for all things urban… what can i say? I feel like i am in heaven when I’m in this joint! Good selection of shoes, gear and of course good musics!

How did I stubble across this place…
I had to go «shi shi» and was directed in this plaza by a Local Brooo.
While on the way to the restroom, this store caught my eye and we wandered in.
My gf found (2) hellz bellz shirts shes really been diggin for a while at this store for 30% off.
Nice set up and very welcoming, friendly, attentive and a information female working the Reg at the time. yada yada normal stussy selling store.
they had some eye pop Nikes up front. by the door. and Sale stuff towards the back.
see you soon Bitches.

This place carries a lot of street skate underground surf /​local hi stuff. mostly t-​shirts (lots and lots of t-​shirts) and colorful kicks, but a nice women’s section and tons of RVCA.
The best part is— they don’t mark-​up prices. A good looking t-​shirt for 21 $??? awesome.
They have a nice smattering of accessories in the front, the staff is very helpful and they’ll check sizes foryou in the back/​on the computer. Love it!
(Also, 2 next door is a super clean bathroom that’s virtually empty.)
Parking: I think (?) they have validated parking in the structure nearby but I always park @the zoo and walk down when I go to waikiki.

I couldn’t pass up on a Hellz Bellz women’s tee. Priced less than what i would’ve paid on the mainland i swiped that bitch up.

this store rocks and the carry all the underground and hard to get stuff. not your typical surf style shop that are dime a dozen in Hawaii. check out the shop if you want to find awesome threads and cool peps.

I stopped by here about 3 times on my last trip to Hawaii. In the bay area I usually hit up True for the latest, but In4mants is the spot in HI. Very clean place, very helpful staff and awsome selection. FO SHO

I visited In4mation on my last trip to Hawaii and the staff was very helpful and courteous. They mostly sell men’s hip hop apparel (i.e. Crooks and Castes and 10 Deep) but have a growing collection of women’s shirts. Hopefully the women’s line will continue to grow in the future. In4mation was in walking distance from our hotel so parking was not necessary. This store is somewhat reminiscent of TRUE on Haight, minus the narrow space, blaring hyphy music, and poor parking situation. Overall, my shopping experience at In4mation was quite enjoyable and will return on my next visit.
