New Wednesdays @ BOB's

With My boy DJ Church on the 1s & 2s along side DJ RawBeatz, the new Wednesdays at Bob's Bar on the Lower East Side of NYC should be beyond cool. Most promoters would call it a zoo, or a movie or some other cliche but I would just call it a guaranteed good time. Come through after work on Wednesdays starting this Wednesday, March 31st. Tell 'em Cool Table Jay sent you and I'll see you there.

With unprecedented access to Jay-Z the days and moments leading up to, and after, his legendary September 11th benefit concert at Madison Square Garden, Danny Clinch gives us an intimate glimpse into Jay-Z: his childhood, his motivation as an artist, his passion for music, and his muse, New York.

Nike SB Dunk Hi "Skunk"

It took me a few seconds to get what was actually going on with these dunks and even though I'm pretty much over the whole "SB Dunk" phase of my life, you have got to respect Nike's ingenuity to slip things under the radar. As a Quickstrike release, due out in April 2010 and designed by Todd Bratrud, I didn't really understand why it was being called the "Skunk" until I saw the picture of the seemingly "high" skunk on the insole and really paid close attention to how the material looks on the shoe. The inside is an illustration of a green skunk. OK, then there is a stask pocket right behind the tongue, so it didn't take much longer for me to figure out that the "skunk" that they were referring to wasn't actually the animal, but the type of Marijuana. The material they used for the entire upper of the shoe seems to imitate the look of marijuana with hairs on it. Then Nike set it off with a purple swoosh. This shoe must be crowned the official weed-head sneaker of the decade. But remember Nike was the 1st to make a low top dunk sb out of hemp, so they have been riding the marijuana wave for a little while now. How much does anyone want to bet that these release on 4/20?

Jordan VI Retro "Infared Pack" - June 2010

I'm no psychic but I have become very aware of how Nike does things, I predicted this as SOON as I saw that the "infared" Air Jordan VI was coming out in "sport red" instead of the classic infared colorway. Coming in June 2010 Nike will be releasing BOTH the white and black colorways of the infared Air Jordan VI in what they will be calling the Air Jordan VI "Infared Pack." I'm sorry for all of those who rode the wave entirely too early but all I can say is...I told you so. Now if only they put "Nike Air" on the back of them. It will never happen but I can dream can't I?

Mishka 1 Year Annniversary $3.50 Tattoo Celebration

The guys over at Mishka want their fans to know that even though they are expanding across the country and across the globe they have not forgotten about their original fan base. So in order to commemorate their 1 year anniversary they will have Three Kings Tattoo Shop set up at their 350 Broadway location in Brooklyn and will be letting their fans get actual Mishka Inspired tats all day for the low low price of 3 dollars and 50 cents.
Like it or love it folks but this is going to get very interesting especially with Trophy Bar across the street having drink specials starting at 1pm to commemorate the event. They'll be having $3 Brooklyn Lagers until 11 pm, there will also be a happy hour from 5-8pm with $3 well drinks, $2 off drafts and $4 margaritas & bloody marys. Very Cool.

Original Fake x Porter “Companion Hands” Wallets

Kaws is working with Porter once again on a zip wallet for the Spring/Summer 2010 season. The classic "Kaws hands" are embossed all over the wallet and is very reminiscent of the artwork that Kaws did for the September 2009 Interview magazine spread on Michael Jackson. I really like this one.
