Got this song from KiD CuDi's twitter page and can't stop playing it. Catchy as hell!

hybrid

Reminds me of the Vans x Taka Hayashi.
The Hybrid AC ND from Nike combines a Blazer sole with an interlaced suede upper and boat shoe influenced design elements. The end result is a clean, casual sneaker with a more grown up feel than most Nike offerings. Bar the tonally embroidered Nike script on the tongue, most would have a hard time even identifying this as a Nike release. No word yet on a release date.

gumshoe

Good look. The gum sole makes it.
At the beginning of June, Alife Rivington Club unveiled its most recent collaboration which included FILA on the Fiamma Collection. However, two months later, A.R.C. and Nike will unleash their latest joint effort in the form of this Nike Dunk Hi Supreme TZ.

Very dope! Wonder if Nike will hook him up.
Here is an 8ft x 4ft Canvas of 228 pairs of Nike High Dunks in all of their colorways over the course of some of Nike SB’s history as well as Nike Dunks history. This impressive work was created by artist Simon Lee.

damn 'ye!

I know Autotune's dead but regardless I think this is definately one of the hottest freestyles period. I know it's hell old, but it has so much feeling and the way he's able to use autotune live is just crazy!

picks up

Popped by Gear Brisbane this afternoon where they are having a crazy t-shirt sale. Had to restrain myself to buying only a couple of tees but in the end picked up a clean Frank 151 and a Parra x Rockwell as seen above.

tera x supreme

What more can you ask for?
Originally seeing themselves at the center of well-received celebrity collaboration, a few seasons after the fact comes some Polaroid photographs which were shot by Kenneth Capello involving porn star Tera Patrick for Supreme. With Polaroid film ceasing to exist with its trademark colors and exposure, this makes for some imagery that will never be duplicated.

major lazer

Definately one to cop!
In Mishka’s ongoing music project “Keep Watch”, their 10th mix comes to the light as the whole Keep Watch project has quickly become a symbolic aspect of Mishka’s ties to music. The 10th volume features “electro-reggae-dancehall virtuoso” Major Lazer which comes complete with a t-shirt featuring a graphic designed by Skinny Digital. A short bio of Major Lazer can also be seen below. The mix can be downloaded here while the t-shirt is available via MishkaNYC.

tron

I was wondering what all the hype was about this film seeing it on nearly every blog so I finally watched the trailer. Definately worth a look, the visuals are amazing!

The first trailer of the sci-fi cult remake Tron Legacy has come out in time for Comic Con. Not only are the special effects stunning, but the album soundtrack was produced by Daftpunk. Something to look out for in 2010!

JUMP!

When I visited New York earlier this year my family and I stumbled across the brand JUMP in SOHO. We all loved the shoes so much that we ended up buying 6 pairs between us! I picked up a couple of pairs and am feeling this new model shown on their blog. It appears though that this shoe is an exclusive made for Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas. Regardles this brand definately seems to be gaining weight, especially amongst the celebs so look for this line to explode!!

digital love

I wasn't quite sure when I saw these new Digi Camo cargos from Billionaire Boys Club. But seeing them on, they look pretty tight! Peep the boots from Junya Watanabe also.

feel the rhythm

Good look from the back.
With models assuming the names of various breads, here’s a look into Rhythm’s 2009 fall/winter Scone style. The high-top features a upper comprised of patent leather with each model seeing a stripe along the bottom of the upper. Available now at FLAUGE.

polo canvas

Definately feeling these simple fresh!! I fux with the black and white pairs especially.
It’s kind of amazing what a man on a horse can do to a simple canvas shoe. These Polo Ralph Lauren Walker’s are simple, clean and fresh…with so many alternatives for canvas sneakers I guess it just comes down to brand, price and style.

downtown's sweetheart

Va$htie has just relaunched her webpage designed by the team responsible for BBC/Icecream, Common and others - FISHBUCKET.COM. Check it out!

Nice clean colourway of the Nike SB Eugene backpack.

girls, girls, girls

During this year’s Fashion Week, Alexander Gnadinger presented his book “100 Girls on Polaroid” (at N°74 in Berlin). The Polaroids showcase something that is hard to find in terms of digital photography: unaltered reality. The photographer captured, 100 girls, to show how they naturally see themselves and how they want to be seen – what you see is what you get. With the support of adidas Originals, the project also turned into a book that will be launched at the opening of an exhibition showcasing Women’s archive shoes from Adria Jeans from 1978 to an adidas for Yohi Yamamoto shoe from 2001. Adidas Originals conveys this desire for authenticity with its “Celebrate Originality” claim and created a exclusive and unique atmosphere for this launch event in the store and in the wooden hut in the backyard of N°74.

bodega

One of my favourite shops Bodega releases there new summer 2009 collection. Check it out here. I think this keyring is dope, flips a classic image.

simple fresh

Bright colours watch out, the simple fresh look is taking over
Once again Beauty & Youth by United Arrows and Vans get together to collaborate on some sneakers. After recently working on the Era, they now get together on the Chukka and just like we are used to see from the Japanese retailer, they keep it classic. The Chukka comes in brown and beige suede colorways with nice piping accents.

no curt@!n$ call

Ferris Bueller gives a sneak peak a few new Curt@!n$ tracks featuring Gucci Mane. Both are sounding pretty dope, hope they drop soon! Sidebar: Curt@!n$ is fresh as hell. Check his blog.


I can't stop playing this song either lately, Curt@!n$ and Tyrese make a good combo and with such meaningful content.

wayback throwback

Can't go wrong with Eastpak or Stussy. Win/win combination
Aside from the apparel and vinyl portion of their recent collaboration, Stussy hooked up with Eastpak to create a special backpack, complimenting their other range of accessories. The classic pack features a camo pattern and signature “Wayback Throwback” artwork from New York-based artist Todd James, better known as REAS.

toki

I love Nike's take on the chukka, the silouette is so smooth. I was lucky to pick up the brown leather pair that released last year when I was in Boston at Bodega, but missed out of the grey pair that just dropped. Maybe I'll get lucky again...

Nike’s chukka sneaker makes a comeback in a refreshing obsidian and vivid pink color-up. Reminscent of a favorite Stussy Blazer (mind the tonal swoosh,) this premium release marks the most classic Toki style we’ve seen thus far. Scheduled to drop later this year at select Nike Quickstrike accounts.
