Nike Air Max Light - Red/White/Grey edition


LOVIN em! They actually remind me a lot of the original colorway of the Air Max 1, with a little more flavor (ok, it looks wierd when I typed "flavor", but it was wierder when I typed "flava", it was a lose-lose situation). Pic via Hypebeast

Jordan Inspired....


or fake ass Jordan's? Love 'em or hate 'em, everyone seems to be talkin about the Gourmet shoe line that just dropped. I for one think they are a real smooth/clean looking design (paying obvious tribute to Jordan there), but come off a lil more low key/sleeker than the actual Jordan 11's. Call em what you want, I'm lookin' be rockin' a pair of the Navy 11's soon....

Adapt - Bishop Crewneck



Every now and then I peruse the
Kazbah over at Karmaloop to see if any of these 'underground' brands are bringing heat. I must say, I kinda like this crewneck here, playin' on Pac's famed role as Bishop in Juice. They have it available as a tee as well. 55 for the crewneck, 29 for the tee.

Reason - Spring 2008


Reason provided a brief preview of their Spring '08 line. I'm really feeling the pattern on this crewneck.

I agree with the trend is definitely moving towardsHS in that the trend is definitely leaning towards the darker colored items this season (black is the new black is the old pink is the not orage). That's good for me because I love the bright colors, and they were even getting played out to me. Maybe now everyone can fall back on the brights and leave those to the people that know how to rock them right.

No joke, yesterday I saw a 70 yr old man rocking these on Hermosa Pier.I did a quadruple take, as did everyone else around, lol.

Leaders 1354 x New Era x Agassi/Air Tech


Wow, this is by far the DOPEST new era preview i've seen in a while, and might be the first fitted hat i've picked up in over 10 years. Only problem is it looks like its only going to drop at the Leaders 1354 store (which is located in Chicago, 4351 South Cottage Grove Ave. to be exact, come through for your boy krez!)

Anyway, the hat is done in the same colorway as the old Andre Agassi shoes (Nike Air Tech Challenege) that we all grew to love. Hat should drop sometime in April. All info via The 'beast...

Stussy to double retail presence?


I saw this information poppin up on some popular blogs (see links to right), and it kind of through me for a loop. I mean, I thought Stussy was notorious for being highly selective for what stores it sells to after their major screw up in the early 90's, and the prominant 'selling out' of other popular brands that emerged at the same time stussy did.


At any rate, I checked out the article from DNR, and all its really saying is creating new flagship stores in Hawaii, Vegas, DC, and Toronto, with two additional stores planned for 09. Not that big of a deal, when previously Stussy only had flagship stores in the US in LA (la brea what up!), San Fran, and the original store in NY (despite having 42 flagships in Japan alone!)

According to Frank Sinatra Jr (sole owner of Stussy since buying out Shaun Stussy, no relation to the other Sinatra family), the company is not planning on expanding its wholesale operation, which is good news for sure.

Excerpt from the article:

Stussy’s wholesale business, which Sinatra concedes is “in the range” of $45 million, will likely remain stable, despite the exploding growth many of the brand’s streetwear contemporaries have recently seen. “We’d have to open up a lot more mainstream distribution to change that number,” he said. More distribution, he believes, would sacrifice the authenticity of Stussy. “We want to be reachable when customers are seeking us out, but we don’t need massive amounts of the brand in every corner of the world.”
