Nike Olympic Village Pack

I think these were designed for the athletes to wear around the Olympic Village for the Beijing Olympics. Personally I would rock these anywhere. Especially the black on black.

These were part of an exhibition titled Paper Wars. It featured different weapons made entirely of paper like the Mills bomb (above) and the AK-47 (below).

My favorite apparel boutique just released their Spring/Summer collection.

This print was designed by Robert Burden based on Battle Cat from He-Man. Only 100 prints were made.

Gator Bait

A good looking pair of Crocs? Yep. The Crocs Santa Cruz loafers from Crocs break the traditional design of those rubber things that shouldn't be seen outside a dorm shower. The standard-issue foam on the insole provides comfort while the canvas upper allows for a casual laid back shoe perfect for the summer.

Vertical Vertebrae Bathroom

This bathroom system was designed living in the big city with limited space. Save space and have a dope bathroom. At the base of the system is a fully operational toilet under a sink. The system is topped off with a light and the individual shelves are for storage space.

The Dopest Speakers

These are the best speakers I've ever seen. They were designed by Ed Lewis for Munny Vinyl. The designed is based on a toy but they're fully operational. The little guys are made out of black vinyl.

Synesthesia


This is the album cover for N*E*R*D's upcoming album. The album features the hot "Everybody Nose" that speaks on that club fiend party chick. I've been a N*E*R*D fan for a minute and their latest drops June 10. Can't wait!

Swatch Watch

The Orb Time Watch from Swatch. It has three different display lines, one for the hour, one for the minute and the last is for the seconds.

As modern as this chair looks, it was designed back in th 1930s. Legendary architect Le Corbusier designed this chaise longue, or the LC4, after he was bored with designing historic buildings.

Old Shoe, New Tricks

Nike has recently merged some of their newest technology with one of their oldest shoes. Here are the Air Max 90 featuring Flywire technology which allows the shoe to maintain support and function without additional weight. The shoe also features Free technology on the sole which allows the shoe to mimic a bare foot promoting foot muscle development.

Fresh Off the Boat


So I finally got on the Sperry bandwagon/boat the other day when I was making a few purchases with these Navy authentics. The authentic are hand-sewn with real leather so they're sure to last long with diligent care. Plus they're the original boat shoe so that makes them gangeter

Pixel Art

Los Angeles

This is pixel art from eBoy. eBoy consists of three guys that share the love of pixel art. The group has worked on projects for Nike, Coca-Cola and Honda.
London

Guns No! LEGOS Yes!

For some reason objects made outta LEGOs catches my eye, not sure why. This is modeled after the Glock 17. The real Glock 17 is highly favored by national law enforcers such as the US, Italy and Germany because of its reliability, simplicity and capability.

The Champ

If you don't already know, my man 'Ye is the hottest out now. Sorry Wayne heads (not really). Yeezy was recently listed as the #1 MC in the game as told by a MTV panel of industry peeps. I give the panel credit for recognizing Mr. West's work ethic and dedication to bringing Hip-Hop to a level higher than money, cash & hoes. The panel also gets credit for listing my man Jay (#2) and Lu (#7)

Get Your Slice

The Cool Kids dropped their latest EP yesterday "The Bake Sale." The EP will feature some of my personal favorites "A Little Bit Cooler" & "What It Is." The album will also feature "Black Mags" from the Rhapsody commercial. The group uses a lot of samples from beats back in the day and are definitely reminiscent of Erik B & Rakim. The duo has been labeled "Chicago's next great hip-hop duo" by Rollingstone Mag.

Eco-Uno

This unicycle was designed by MIT student Ben Gulak and he's only 19! The cycle is all-electric so it's eco-friendly and it operates like a Segway. To go forward the rider leans forward, to reverse, lean back. Also like a traditional motorcycle, the rider leans to turn.

1HUND(RED)

For some reason I really like these Chucks. I don't know if it's because they contribute to Product Red or because of the color pattern but they are dope and promise to demand attention.

Japanese Warhol


Takashi Murakami is now on exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum. He's the dude that did the album artwork for KanYe's Graduation. The exhibit has moved from LA to NY and will be on exhibit until July 13.

Air Yeezy

Yeah KanYe has his own shoes from Nike. They're some extreme high tops with a combination of patent and perforated leather plus an exposed air bubble. No word on the release date or price range.

Seamless Dunks

So I found another pair of dunks I wanted to share, big surprise right? The shoes are seamless so the upper is one piece. The panels and swoosh are outlined by different color polka dots in the shape of hexagons.
