but there is a first time for everything...Saved By the Bell reunion (sans Screech of course, he's busy making porno's or another horrible reality show). Should be interesting!
35% @ The Reserve and online. Above is the "bitchin t" from Warriors of Radness (WOR). This reminds me of that classic Hawaiin T vibe from the late 70's.
Goes without saying, but the kid NEEDS one of these...especially during this scorchin summer. Having access to this in the freezer may allow me to take it easy on the Otter Pops for a bit. Sidenote, can I get registered here?
Proper has the Penny II's in stock right now, of course with a limited size run. Penny had some of the DOPEST signature kicks on the market, time and time agian. Don't sleep on these classics just because they don't have a jumpman logo...
Worth the hype? Eh. I mean, he did get banged on, but Nike created the monster by trying to cloud the whole episode in secrecy. Not THAT bigga deal. Shouts to JATRAY for the heads up.
In my opinion, still one of the cleanest lines out time and time again. Quality gear with simple and effective designs, and still making use of vibrant, exciting colors. Available online at their store now.
Whenever I travel for work outside of the LA area, I find it neccessary to scour shoe racks of the local ROSS. You pretty much NEVER know what you can find. I once copped the Nike Stab (Huarache color way) for $35 in Lompoc, and sold them the next weekend for $100. Anyway, just copped these CLEAN Air Rejuvin8's at the ROSS in Santa Barbara for an easy $25. You remember the Rejuven8's? Check this article, about the recovery shoe and for some insight in to the design process (Of course Tinker Hatfield, designer of everyone's favorite Air Jordan's, as well as the Air Max 1 and Presto templates, was involved).
Pretty good article via the Washington Post surrounding the effect of the current economic times on various spinoff brands. Not that surprising considering the general status of Malls in America anyway, seeing how most of these stores are found in malls anyway.
Back to back music posts? Yeah, yeah, I know. But it's Slaughterhouse! Check the vid of the Slaughtherhouse boys getting their Rock n Roll on with a track that (for them) could be geared towards catchin some maintstream success, but still maintaining their lyrical tenacity. I still think Crook got em ("I love these freak woman, something in my denim needa Kiss, call it Gene Simmons, they want to ban me like Marilyn Manson, cuz of all the whores in my Baltimore Maryland Mansion, I'm the one that wannna spear Britney, give Pink some black, put it near her kidney's (here kitty), I'm the one who always cause an affair, so everytime your b*tch burp, you smell my balls in the air, yeeeaaaa"
Todd James, better known as REAS, hooks up with Stussy (again) for a number of items this season, including these vinyl pieces, a few shirts, a hoody, button up, and hat. REAS is known worldwide for his graffiti skills, in addition to designing logo's for some of your favorite hip-hop artists. More info here.
Check out the lookbook for Dope Couture's Summer Line. I'm feeling this yacht inspired shirt A LOT. Line goes up for sale tomorrow (6/9) at noon. Act quick...
Sample of Kobe's new signature model for the upcoming 2009-2010 season. Keeping the same low cut, and somehow even lighter? Be on the lookout for more details to emerge. Check more flicks here.
Sex, Love, Pain, baby I be on that Tank Sh*t/ Buzz so big I could probably sell a blank disc/ When my album drop b*tches will buy it for the pictures/ and n****z will buy it too and claim they got it for thier sister"
Back in February of 09, I posted a link to Young Drizzy's mixtape, So Far Gone. Over the next 5 months, his buzz has continued to grow, he kept making records with Weezy, next thing you know he's getting radio play, and signing multi-million dollar deals with distribution through Universal. Wow, time flies.
