What's the good word people of the Internet? My name is Wolf, Kingpin over at Ruined Rep Streetwear Pins. I wanted to take a moment to tell you a little bit about the history of what makes Ruined Rep. Hop in my time machine as I take you back to December of 2014...

I'm on Christmas vacation like most other people during the holiday's and realized that my schedule was just not cutting it for me anymore. I would come home, eat dinner, watch TV, and go to sleep. I needed more! So I started brainstorming things that I can do that will allow me to learn business, but also create something that would allow me to be my own boss. During this brainstorming period I came up with the concept of doing really cool Streetwear Pins since I was passionate about collecting pins, I had a connection to someone that makes pins, and I saw that the trend was picking up again. I'm a believer in the saying "It's not what you know, it's who you know", but you better be able to perform!

But why Ruined Rep? Ever since I was a little kid I was constantly being told that I'm going to ruined my reputation. I was always pushing the limits of what I can get away with. Ruined Rep is my way of distinguishing the people that I want to surround myself with. It's about people getting to know you before judging you. It's about owning your reputation!

I guess what I'm trying to say is that Ruined Rep isn't just an awesome, cool, dope Streetwear Pins company, it's a lifestyle brand too. We've all Ruined our Rep somewhere down the line, but it's how you wear it that defines you. I'm not sure if I got carried away, but I think the message that I was trying to get across came together nicely.

Keep on keeping on,

DJ Khaled-Inspired Pin | Ruined Rep Streetwear Pins

The notorious DJ Khaled’s Key to Success may be one of the most entertaining snaps to hit our snapchat stories, or at least I think so. His motivational and influential 10 second stories allow me to relate to the fat guy. He has Chef Dee in the kitchen, and I have Chef Big Gai (nothing is better than a Jewish mother in the kitchen…NOTHING). He gets lost at sea on a jet ski and I get lost in the streets of Montreal trying to find out what new Streetwear pins I can add to Ruined Rep’s collection. Point is, if you look beyond the shirtless bearded guy, he just wants to be happy; he just wants to be good. Khaled wants Ruined Rep Snapchat Barcode for Streetwear Pins to spread the key to success, and that is exactly what I aim to do. Wait…before I forget, All this DJ Khaled, snapchat talk really gets me thinking that you, yes, YOU, should follow me on snapchat. It’s easy, this is it…ruinedrep. Right…now back to Streetwear pin fashion, It didn't take much time or realization that the lapel pin I needed next to be attached to my wardrobe, heck…your wardrobe too, would be the famous Key Emoji.

Khaled says it best, "The key is to make it, the key is never give up, it's not easy to win.” Well, the inspirational Key Emoji that tops off every snapchat story of his has finally made its debut in the Ruined Rep collection, which will now make it easier for all of us to win - and lets be real here, who doesn’t love to win, and if you don’t…then I highly recommend you add this pin (and all other Ruined Rep pins) to your fashion game.
