They started it. Sorry Wes, but seeing over top the raping of subculture is a peeve, I could not be silent. I DO NOT wish to create a vs. situation
Open for business in October of 2005, Gentei has become not only a celebrated spot in the city’s street style scene, but also a hub for Baltimore’s skaters and bike messengers. Since day one, Gentei has stayed actively involved in these local scenes by sponsoring bike races, a fixed gear crew, and it’s own team of skaters, all natural extensions of the shop’s staff lifestyle.
Since day one....a year and half ago.
