We start our 3 year old celebration an hour early tonight, with the MAJOR 3rd Anniversary Sale/Special Release Event at 11 p.m.

Here’s an invitation to all of our extended family, and thanks for keeping us worthy of “The Only Store That Matters!” tagline.

Please keep in mind that the sale lasts 3 hours only, and we are definitely rewarding our core customers who have been with us from day 1, when you lined up for hours to our grand opening!

Thanks from the MAJOR familia for 3 years of support, and here’s to 30 more!

On December 17th, 2006 at Midnight, we gave birth to the first premium sneaker & streetwear boutique destination in Washington DC.  From the beginning MAJOR was a movement about sneakers, gear, fitteds, and attitude that exudes confidence & superiority.  From the very first New Era collab fitted to each one of our storied sneaker and gear collaborations, we have maintained the confidence that we are the Only Store That Matters.  All of you, the extended MAJOR family, have chosen us as the go-to destination, and supported us to remain at the top of people’s choice here in DC & worldwide.

To thank our nocturnal MAJOR family, we are holding a special sale event on Wednesday, December 16th, starting at 11 pm.  For 3 hours only (11 pm to 2 am), everything we have on the floor will be 30% off. On top of that, we will be dropping 2 collaborations with 2 very important brands, along with a fitted cap or two to celebrate this occasion.

Here is a sneak preview of what collabs are coming:

Just like when we opened for the first time, we cannot tell you too many details, and details will be revealed as the time nears.  Please do not call us about the sale or collabos, just show up, be with other like-minded MAJOR fam, and enjoy the savings and new exclusive stuff.

Once again, the entire staff at MAJOR thanks you for your support… And together we will always be on top!!!

Once again, our friends at Complex Magazine, along with recording artist, Mickey Factz, have recognized MAJOR as the destination spot in Washington DC for all your style needs.  Appearing in December/January Issue of the magazine, which is in stands today, your favorite store is prominently featured in the Honda Style Guide for this holiday season.  Go cop a copy!

MAJOR usually sees daily share of celebrities and greats that walk through our doors, but we were surprised by the visit this morning from the King himself, Lebron James, along with Cavs teammates Mo Williams, Daniel Gibson, and Jawad Williams.

Special thanks to our friend, Randy Mims, for stopping through and always repping MAJOR!

You probably heard about the collaboration between our boys over at The Hundreds and SE Bikes to create the world’s first 26″ PK Ripper BMX Bike.  What you didn’t know was that MAJOR was going to GIVE away a bike to a lucky MAJOR shopper on August 26th, when we host The Hundreds x SE Bikes Release Event & Raffle Drawing at our Georgetown Showroom.

The evening’s activities will include the showing of the TH x SE PK Ripper, plus the drawing at the end of the evening to announce the winner of the MAJOR raffle contest.  During the event, you will see some of the classic pieces from The Hundreds, preserved from our archives in deadstock condition for sale, as well as giveaways from The Hundreds and MAJOR, along with free Amp energy drinks from our friends at Amp!

So hurry down to MAJOR to get those raffle tickets.  You can buy each raffle ticket for $25, or get 1 for every $50 MAJOR brand purchase (fitted caps & collabo tees), or $50 The Hundreds brand purchase.

We may have more surprises along the way, as we are always working to bring DC only the best… In the meantime, check out more pictures of the bike, and the special edition t-shirt created for the bike.

Come support MAJOR & The Hundreds on August 26th… You know Kevin Durant loves both brands (We wish Kev the best this NBA season, as he represents the best of the DMV hoops talent)!

Tuesday, August 11th will be a very special day for all the Madden fans in the DMV, as EA Sports, Rugged Concepts, and MAJOR presents the special XBox 360 Preview of the all new EA Sports Madden NFL 10.
