After posting about how SKULLebrities creeped me out at the grocery store a few weeks ago, the eccentric graphic company whose tag-line is “Rest In Parody” sent me their extremely dry rendition of Afeni’s son. Despite it’s solid neckhole and overall dope design, I’m still at odds as to whether or not I’d get side-eyed wearing it in public. Read the rest of this entry »

No, b*tch*ssness here. Depending on your location, the air’s turning chilly and sweatshirts and hoodies won’t always cut it, depending on the company you keep and the establishments you patron. Therefore, having a sweater or two in the arsenal is good idea and there’s a guide to help you sort through the muck. Read the rest of this entry »

Flip-Flops? We off that.

In addition to the Presto’s which have been (& will continue) to hit store shelves in assorted colors this summer, Nike decided to jazz up the shoe with a bit of the newer technology they’ve developed since the OG version dropped. Giving it a more stable sole thanks to Lunar technology and adding more the more breathable upper from the Nike Air Rejuven8, this shoe makes another great choice for the summer.

Suffice it to say that everyone who frequents this site is not above browsing for deals. And we all know shopping @ Marshall’s & TJ Maxx doesn’t always cut it. Therefore, I share with you PLNDR. Not sure how new the site is but it just hit my inbox yesterday and it looks to be powered by Karmaloop so I’m fairly sure it’s legit. Similar to JackThreads (where I personally rack the hell up on decent gear), they offer deep discounts on “cool” brands without shoppers having to pay uncool prices. I grabbed a Mighty Healthy hoody yesterday so I’m right smitten with myself and they have pretty good brands listed coming up this week. Read the rest of this entry »

Old school enough for you? Along with the Comet Reds, it looks like Nike has intentions of bringin’ back the Blue Slate 95′s for this upcoming summer. I’m not sure who made the call & determined that the release of original colorways was due, but I know that many thankful sneakerheads abound as a result. Read the rest of this entry »

Thank the Lord winter is pretty much over, otherwise I’d succumb and cop. Who am I kidding? I’ll probably still be online tomorrow with these in the shopping cart, debating on pulling the trigger. I say that because I spent half the winter looking for a similarly styled boot from Timberland to no avail.

“We are kicking off a year of collaborative design projects in honor of our 15th Anniversary with “The Mighty Ducks”, our first foray into footwear, courtesy of the good people at Timberland. The boots’ design mixes a classic Timberland silhouette with detailing inspired by the perennial classic duck boot. Read the rest of this entry »

For today’s opening ceremonies, Stussy’s releasing these hockey-themed tees to commemorate the event. Not sure if these will be available online but they’ll definitely be available @ Stussy Vancouver. Send your bread over the border to acquire one or all three. Read the rest of this entry »

My mind’s tellin’ me no, but my feet are saying it’s time to break bread.

Since I’ve already (unwillingly) gotten my Valentine’s day shopping out of the way, it’s time to figure out if I should pursue these or not. SXSW is fast approaching and I still need to get my airfare situated.  But there’s something about grey sneakers that make me say to hell with matching.

Set for a Feb. 20th quickstrike release, interested parties can begin to make preparations.

If you’re like me – broke and continually being forced into buying your longtime girlfriend meaningless gifts – I feel your pain. This year, however, us love suckers need to work together, think outside the Tiffany’s box and sink to a level only guys can (no, you idiot, we’re not getting our chicks dildos). Usually, flowers and candy would be enough to drop the panties, but even those B-List gifts can get expensive. Read the rest of this entry »

Yeah, score one here with Hall Of Fame’s “Fame” caps and tees*. HoF takes the standard New Era, adorns it with word “Fame” in script and adds a twist by skipping traditional wool, instead opting to use polar fleece. The shirts feature “Fame” script across chest and come on Champion brand tees. Available now @ Hall Of Fame’s online store and their retail shop in LA. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve recently been informed that Seattle’s dubious Dyme Def trio are verging on dropping their succulent sophomore effort, Sex Tape. “Ooo La La” © Mr. Strickland. As a teaser, the one-time Unsigned Hype-ers show their ability at ill communication with their forward-moving lead single “Do Something,” which could ride a genre-bending Beastie Boys-sample all the way to the FM waves.

If tubular tunage isn’t enough, they’ve tagged in the good folk @ TITS for an entire line of voluptuous and visually-appealing tees to accompany specific tracks off the Tape, which are already being rocked by the NBA’s next big superstar. Pretty cool. Hot Latina chicks with fantastic TITS on behalf of one of the doper groups in Needle City. Is it even possible to top that?

C’maaan. Of course it is.

Check into the comments section and go ham for the free of it. As a result, you’ll be entering to win a gift pack of TITS gear, including the Def Dyme “Do Something” shirt pictured above. If you’re lucky, you’ll have brand-spanking-new gear to replace those old, moth-ball-stankin’ Salvation Army garments.

Don’t forget, you’re also required to listen/support/share/singalong to Dyme Def, because you’re going to be rocking their ideas on your chest and answering with ‘the other Nike slogan’ won’t suffice when you’re asked what “Do Something” means.

Since deck shoes emerged as an “in” item over the past few seasons, it was to be expected that they’d take on enhanced versions that would catch the eye of the unsuspecting. Count me in those who wasn’t expecting but finds myself liking this collaboration between 3Sixteen and handmade design kingpins Quoddy. Sharply done in chromexcel leather in navy and comes with white leather laces.

Available @ Bows & Arrows

We previewed these a while back and now they have a concrete release date. Celebrating ten years in the business, Sneakernstuff will be dropping these three special New Balance models — the red M577, green M1500′s and blue-based M1700′s — on 12.29.09. So while you’re clamoring for Space Jams, I’m glad these are coming out now, just in time for me to beat my New Year’s resolution of buying fewer…dah, who am I fooling?

That is not a typo. It was laughable when bootleggers would make their screenprinted versions. Laughable but cool when his crew might press up a few to wear and pass out @ shows. But now they’re really trying to peddle these “Free Gucci Mane” shirts as an official product. Yo, Warner Brothers, Gucci is not a political prisoner. He is not a martyr. Gucci wasn’t even unjustly jailed. Read the rest of this entry »

This is good, especially with the costs of fitteds rising higher than gas prices these days. 40% off @ MYFITTEDS.COM for one day only, ending @ midnight on Friday, November 27th. I like to take these opportunities to stock up on the staples. Read the rest of this entry »
