G-Shock x Playcloths DW-6900



I can't lie, even though I'm a really big Clipse fan, I never really got into their Playcloths clothing line however this new collaboration may add my 1st item of Playcloths to my wardobe in the form of my favorite accessory, the DW-6900 Casio G-Shock watch. Not only have they used my favorite model of G-Shock but they have also made the entire watch in a monotone red color, which came out amazing. The screen and dial come in matching red and the dial features a small Play Cloths logo on top. The only hit of color comes on the band in the form of black an white stripes. I'm going to NEED this one. Very Cool!
Available at select retailers in March 2010.

Ralph Lauren x The United Way - Haiti Relief Polo


There were many people out there like myself who heard about the disaster in Haiti and had no idea how to help. Sure you could donate $5 by texting with your cell phone but many people had their reservations about that. Ralph Lauren has decided to also contribute to the relief of Haiti and has teamed up with The United Way to release a limited edition "Haiti Relief" polo. 100% of the proceeds go directly to the relief efforts in Haiti through the United Way Worldwide Disaster Fund. You get to help out and get a really nice Ralph Lauren Polo shirt in the process. Very Cool.
Available in 4 colors.

Snakeskin Jordan 11 Low Retro?



I honestly dont' know how I feel about this. I can't stamp it with the "NOT COOL" stamp because I actually own this pair of sneakers. I remember buying it to go with an Iceberg shirt that I had to wear together for the prom after party and I had to pay extra just to get them early and in time for prom...BUT I think that was the 1st sneaker I ever bought on impulse just for the sake of getting fresh for ONE event. I never really wore them again, I lost the box and they are sitting in my room unworn since maybe 2002 and now the are being Retro'd sometime this year. Everyone who still wants these now has a 2nd chance to get them, but to me when you talk about a Jordan 11, if it isn't Hi-top with patent leather then you may as well be talking about another sneaker. I'll pass but I know there are many who wont, and to them I say..."ha ha...I had em first"
No word yet on an exact release date or price.

Next Month's Complex Magazine Cover Featuring Drake



I honestly posted this because I am really beginning to like what Complex has been doing with their covers. From the Clipse x Kaws cover, to the Young Jeezy x Espo cover, the last Eminem cover and now this, it just always seems that Complex magazine covers grab your attention and I like it. Artwork doesnt always have to be on a canvas, sometimes it can show up at your local magazine stand. Very Cool.

New Curren$y video produced by Mos Def and Directed by Creative Control TV. In the video, Curren$y is on the beautiful island of Jamaica and doesn't hesitate to break out the pretty green for an early morning wake 'n bake. Check it Out!

Futura x Nike Sportswear x Be True : Syracuse Orangemen Stadium Jacket

Photobucket
If you follow me on twitter you probably know that I have been really busy lately. And the first story I come back with picks up where I left off with Futura. Known to be a big Syracuse fan, Futura, has collaborated with Nike and their Be True To Your School campaign to apply his artwork to a Stadium Jacket for Syracuse University. Putting his own spin on the Syracuse "Orangemen" Mascot and applying his own special font to the letting on the jacket has made this jacket one that has caught my attention even though I am not a big watcher of college basketball . I am however a fan of all NY teams and the artwork of Futura which resulted in both colorways of the jacket coming out very well.
Last night Nike Sportswear had an event at their 21 Mercer Street Location to kick off the launch of the collection that not only includes these jackets but a N98 track jacket, hoodie and t-shirt; All in 2 different colorways.

Air Jordan IX 2010 Preview


This year is going to be a big year for fans of the Jordan IX. First off, the "Citrus" colorway which has been making it's rounds on the sneaker blogs recently is set to drop in July. Oddly enough as much as I don't like non-OG colorways in Jordans I have taken a liking to these. But not to be disappointed the classic White/Black-Red colorway is also being Re-Retro'd by itself in August and then the Shadow colorway will be seeing its first re-release since 1994 in September 2010. Whew...am I glad I dindt buy the OG 2 years ago. Either way I'll probably be picking these up this year.

Juelz Santana ft. Jim Jones & Tobb Cobain - Forever Harlem



Im actually surprised that they made a video for this because I originally heard it when it was just Juelz on a short freestyle track with Tobb Cobain. But I'm glad they did because I think Juelz really went in on his verse and Jimmy doesn't disappoint. Check it out. (NSFW)

Reversible OriginalFake x Gallery 1950 Jacket


Another pretty cool collaboration between Kaws label "OriginalFake" and Gallery 1950, a company normally known for their various collaboration making floor mats, is this incredible black satin jacket. Using the attention to detail that both companies are known for, all of the embroidery in this jacket are sewn in which I guess is what explains the ¥60,900 (Approx. $659 USD) price tag. Either way the jacket is pretty cool.
Available now at Honeyee
