Fly Season: Adidas Forum & Def Jam (Young Jeezy)






Ok, we occasionally show some favoritism around here, lol!!

Hip Hop’s greatest record label, Def Jam celebrates their 25th anniversary this year – a true feat for a genre of music that has been supposedly dying for the last ten years! To commemorate this massive milestone, adidas have jumped on board to release a collection of kicks utilizing artists from the label’s past and present roster.

Having cemented their allegiance with Def Jam back in the ‘80s (thanks to Russell Simmons and Run DMC) adidas continues to pay respect to Hip Hop’s finest including Young Jeezy aka the Snowman. The ex-Boyz In The Hood rapper cops the adidas Forum Mid complete with stark black uppers, slime ‘macaw’ green pops and gold accents. You can cop yours now from our good mates at Extra Butter.

THESE ARE A MUST COP, FOLKS!! 1..

Fly Season: Mosley Tribes & Hellz Bellz Sunglasses


Straight stuntin'..

Today we can give you an interesting first look at an upcoming collaboration. While walking through (capsule) show NYC this week we came across the new Mosley Tribes & Hellz Bellz collaboration sunglasses. The two brands worked on two pairs for Spring 2010, one coming in a classic brown, the other one in a black/red colorway. Apparently the “nose bridge” is removable, but more on that when we get closer to the release.

Get yourself a pair o' these, if you can find them.

Wow: BMW S.X Concept Car




We had to do it!!

Our love for BMW is just too crazy for words. So when we saw the new concept car that the good people over at BMW cooked up, we knew we had to post the details, just outta bein' Beamer groupies, lol.

The BMW S.X concept by designer Iulian Bumbu, a graduate of the Transportation Design Course at the Scuola Politecnica di Design (SPD) in Milan. This BMW S.X Concept represents the next generation luxury sports coupe from BMW could look like. And it would be well positioned to take over where the current 6 Series BMW. This design has high-mount brake lights incorporated into the edges of the rear window and the lateral vents located just behind the front wheels.

Dopeness: Nixon Fall 2009 Collection


Get Yours!!

Y'all know watch season is in full effect right now. So we'll continue to showcase what we see as fresh, until "long sleeve season" comes back around, lol.

We take a look at the first new styles coming from Nixon for Fall 2009. The brand does not have many competitors in their price class and does a great job of keepin' this niche of mid priced watches for the younger generation to them. We really like the minimalist approach the brand is taking this Fall. The watches remind us a little of the Braun watches from the 80’s. Minimalist design, classic colors, yet a sense of modernism. New models this season include The Chronicle, The Mellor and The Newton Digital.

Nice! 1..

Dopeness: Martin Margiela Fall Single Lens Sunglasses


Pretty damn fresh..

This season, nonconformist Martin Margiela offers an outlandish take on a Ray-Ban Shooter style sunglass frame. All I can think of is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas meets welding mask. Colette says it’s a piece “just like his creator; atypical, playful, unique!” If those words describe you, and you think you can pull this off, they’re now available in two colors at Colette.

Fly Season: Nike Mr. Cartoon/Footscape X Livestrong



Thank us later!

I remember gettin' my first pair of Mister Cartoon-designed Nike's, a few years back. I was gassed, no lie, 'cause I knew the pair I had was like 1 of 300. That's a pretty cool feelin', knowin' that you won't see too many cats rockin' a pair of kicks that you just got your hands on. Well, the people over at Nike, have a couple new kicks about to drop, that you should keep your eyes on.

In keepin' with the theme of the LIVESTRONG pack, the next 'stage' of Lance Armstrong's Nike project will begin releasin' from Friday July 10th. The AM90 will release on the 10th followed closely by the Mr Cartoon Air Force 1 and Hide Out Footscapes the next day, Saturday July 11th.

Dopeness: Nike Sportswear T-Shirt Gun


Lick a shot!!

The Swoosh never stops gettin' busy. And with this new t-shirt gun, you can do all kinds of unnecessary bustin' off (pause), at either a ballgame or wherever shootin' t-shirts is justified.

Nike Sportswear recently released a great new commercial featurin' an innovative t-shirt gun. Mixing humor and CGI, St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson witnesses Nike snowboarders Matt Ladley and Travor Jacob testing it out first hand. And they’re actually sellin' it. Promising to be better than any gun you’ll find in a stadium or arena, each T-Shirt Gun is numbered and engraved with the signature of a Nike athlete. Priced at $1500 and now available (but already sold out!) at Nike.

Throwback Classic: Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out


This joint is so CLASSIC!!


This is an 80's joint, but it's just one of those tracks that I always felt, for whatever reason. Real talk, I think the 80's had the best music, for every genre. But this song is one that I always liked, because it has that old 80's feel to it. I'm still bangin' this track on the iPod, don't sleep.


Rock on, folkers!!

Models & Freshness: Joell Kayembe





This M&F is SO necessary, people!

Meet Joell Kayembe, now, I'm not gonna front like I knew who she was, as I just got put up on her (no pun intended), two days ago. Either way, she's pretty damn fly and we just had to throw her on here to show our appreciation for her beauty.

She's a Congolese-born South African model best known for her role as a suitcase model in the game show Deal Or No Deal. And has appeared in Ludacris’s Pimpin All Over The World music video, she was a finalist in the International Supermodel 2005 competition in China and is included as a Global Honey on SKY TV in the UK.

Who knew? LOL! Damn, we gotta stop sleepin'..

Models & Freshness: Lady Gaga in Maxim







Thank us later!

Chicks dig her style, but we just think she's straight up SEXY!!

Gaga was kinda like the underdog when she came into the game. Not only in regard to labels sleepin' on her hit makin' ability, but people really slept on her sexiness too. And I don't know exactly when it happened, but all of a sudden, she just started lookin' kinda hot in both her videos and in magazine spreads. This one above is from Maxim, and it pretty much sells itself. Go out and support that issue. Nothin' else needs to be said.

The Cool: Frank Sinatra


We thought it was only right to salute, one of the coolest to ever do it!

That's right, Frank Sinatra!!

I had a film class in HS, and we had to do a report on The Manchurian Candidate (1961). In just watchin' the flick, I thought dude was pretty damn cool. I was only about 14, but I thought if I could be half as cool as this guy, I'd be aight, lol. From that point on, I started doin' a lil' more homework on Sinatra, and I was pretty impressed with how much influence this guy had durin' his time.

From his classic music to his classic films, the controversial relationships he supposedly had with organized crime figures, down to his political presence...his legacy is somethin' to be admired. He's got his own postal stamp, post office named after him, and his own day (May 13th)!! You get all of that, you're definitely cool in our book. Salute!!
