IN4MATION STORE TEE
In4mation is comprised of four partners: Ryan Arakaki, Todd Shimabuku, Jun Jo and Rhandy Tambio. The concept of the name In4mation was from a popular cartoon, Voltron, in which unique characters assembled to become one indestructible machine. The name In4mation and the plus logo symbolize a unique bond and signify In4mation's positive outlook and welcoming attitudes attained by exploring varied paths of life. In4mation's motto, "I shall proceed... and continue," serves as a reminder to follow our chosen paths and to keep on moving forward.

In4mation's strength in this niche market is built upon a set of varied experiences from being clothing reps, buyers, freelance designers and pro/am skate and surf team riders. Ryan, Todd, Rhandy and Jun have a resume list that embodies Hawaii's action sports, lifestyle and retail market for the past decade.

The first retail space opened in April of 2002 in Mililani, Hawaii. Once In4mation gained ground in capturing the market share of the areas fashion-conscious youth and young adults, the decision was made to relocate to a key Honolulu retail spot. July 11, 2003 marked the grand re-opening of In4mation. The new location is accessible to tourists and locals alike. Ryan, Todd, Rhandy and Jun are appreciative to all who walk through the doors but will never forget their dreams of offering Hawaii a comfortable boutique space with a good atmosphere. The four want every customer to understand the concepts and methodology behing what they're wearing and to feel good wearing it.

In September 2005, In4mation had the opportunity to open a second location on the infamous Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki. This location is right in the middle of the busiest shopping sector of Hawaii. There are stores like Armani Exchange, Louis Vuitton, Dior and Hermes nearby. The focus of the Waikiki store is to provide visitors with the best and complete service oriented select store experience.

In4mation is in a unique position to offer Hawaii special things from special places throughout the world. The plan is to bring in trendsetting merchandise that will keep people guessing. In4mation will always be going against the grain, leading instead of following, with alernative design concepts and ecletic lines and products. The In4mation crew is truly blessed to be able to grow and shape the stores/brand, using fresh perspectives that come into play against major lackluster retailers that make mundane attempts at pleasing the masses.

This Saturday, August 5th, In4mation will celebrate their 4th anniversary at Coyote Nights in Honolulu featuring Unit 101. The Stussy x In4mation tee drops in white and black. Happy anniversary boyz!!!!
