Air Force 1 Release Dates 2008
Just before the ball drops in a few days, we have updated our Air Force 1 Release Dates page with several of the models releasing in the first quarter of 2008. There are FAR fewer releasing than last year and more tamed down color applications with many 2-3 color models - something we pretty much only saw on Bobbito’s and Hiroshi’s Air Force Ones from this past year.
Pricing has stepped up on the entry level Air Force Ones as well as the Premium Air Force Ones at $85 and $135 respectively, but Nike did back off on the higher end Supreme Air Force Ones to $200 down from $225.

GOURMET - SNEAK PEEK

Gourmet has been making some noise in the sneaker industry with their newly introduced line of sneakers. Here we have a sneak peak into next Summer’s collection that features some similar models that are currently available in stores only in more vivid colors. It will be interesting to see how the line advances as they begin to remove themselves from the various models they have been using for inspiration. via Gourmet

SUPRA NS BLACK SKYTOPS

SupraNS Black Muska Skytops

A few weeks ago we gave you a first look at the upcoming Supra NS Skytops in an all white color up.  The “Non Skate” line of Supra retooled the famous Skytop with an all black upper utilizing premium leather, patent leather, and textured suede.  Just enough white was added with a bi-tone cup sole to finish off the luxurious look of the sneaker.  Look for these early next year for $195.

MORE PHOTOS OF THE CROOKS & CASTLES STORE

Ok, so Crooks & Castles.

What more can I say about these guys? I can safely say that everyone here has been a fan of the Crooks empire since its inception. There was always something respectable about the way the folks at Crooks & Castles have carried themselves as friends, designers, and businessmen.. how they’ve branded… in fact, perhaps the strongest, no-holds-barred branding of any in our category. The design and technicalities of the apparel are intact, and the sales and marketing strategies are leading the game. Personally, I just think the name alone is worth gold.

We’re happy to announce that that the guys have opened the doors to their flagship location on Melrose Ave. It’s everything you’d expect from a Crooks & Castles retail boutique, plus more. I’ll tell you what I didn’t expect: the amount of black marble wrapping the store, the Taschen books account upstairs, not to mention the top-notch accessories program [And trust, the product is much better in person (we know that it’s usually the other way around in Streetwear World)]. What about the sheer size of the space? Oh yeah, and then there’s the usual C&C line that you’ve all grown to know and love.

Next level.

Lil' Wayne Seriously Tryna Be The New 2-Pac


The Lil' Wayne Cover On The Latest Issue Of Complex Is An Actual Re-Do Of 2-Pacs 
Classic Cover From Vibe Magazine. Is Wayne Tryna Be The New Pac? 
That Is A Big Shoe To Fill In And I Understand Lil' Wayne Has Released About As Much Body 
Of Work Within This Year Than Pac Did Within His Entire Career And Pac Was Known To 
Live In The Studio. If Your Not Aware Of The Statement Birdman Made Earlier This Year That Wayne Is Pac In Spirit Is A Totally Incorrect Opinion To Make. 
Pac Touched People Deeper Than His Flow Or Rhymes Or Whatever He Claimed To Be. 
He Inspired A Nation Of Us (Minoritys) Lil' Wayne Is A Good Rapper But He Knows He 
Is No 2-Pac Or A Jay-Z Both These Men Have Classic Material. 
Lil' Wayne Might Have Classic Mixtapes As The Streets Loved The Whole 
Dedication Series And The Drought Series To The Drought Is Over Series Of 
The Leaked Carter III Songs But Until He Releases Tha Carter 3 Feb.12(If He Actually Does)
And If His So Hyped About Album Isn't A Classic With Some Of The Slickest Shit
I've Ever Heard Than What Will There Be To Believe? Jay-Z Is Still The Best Rapper 
Alive Since Big Passed So If Wayne Can Some How Surpass Jay's Level Ever It 
Will Have To Be Answered In The Carter 3.

DJ CLARK KENT PRESENTS WELL WORTHY: RANSOM X

NEW ERA X NIKE AF1 ID

money1.jpg

Money In The Bank - That’s exactly how you feel about the NEW ERA fitteds at Toronto’s RANSOM shop, the sister store to GOODFOOT & NOMAD. (They RUN TMC and Vancouver!!) This custom was created by 2 of the guys who work there, my nephew Quentin “Dynamics” Peters and Kevin Marzo. It was done so nice they had to do it twice! Let’s call it the “Double Up”.

money2.jpg

They used a perfect MONEY colorway of Green/Black/White. This gave me the inspiration to design the “I Get Money” Nike ID Air Force 1. (Black Leather & Nubuck / Green Leather Swoosh / White Outsole & Guts) CLEAN! Nothing like a little MONEY for the Holidays! Caps done perfectly. Kicks done properly. Now,that’s WELL WORTHY - exactly!

Shouts & Love to my Toronto Family. Goodfoot/ Ransom / Nomad : Matt George, Ace Six, Q Money Bags, & Kevin Marzo. (Thanks for keeping me FITTED!)

CROOKS AND CASTLES

Crooks and Castles

Longevity in streetwear is no more common than morality in rap, however, Crooks and Castles is a staple within its pool of ambitious peers by boasting an L.A. flagship store, a full line and multiple seasons of growth. Dennis Calvero, Crooks and Castles owner, can say his brand is a personal choice for Jay-Z and Kanye West – Calvero wants English action film superstar, Jason Statham, to wear Crooks and Castles, as Stratham is “edgier” – but he’s more interested in retailers that “can pay bills,” says Calvero.

Calvero believes Crooks and Castles’ flagship store is a marketing tool extension and way for business growth. Crooks and Castles’ L.A. flagship store finds itself on prime realty, “We are going to be on the same block as Fred Segal, a Bathing Ape, Marc Jacobs and Paul Smith,” says Calvero.

“It’s almost like the blogs are the apparel news for the streetwear enthusiasts, sneakers fiends and the cool kids.”

Format: In a previous interview, you say your philosophy is simply, “behind every castle there’s a crook.” In your opinion, who, currently, is the largest crook with the largest castle? 
Calvero: Bill Gates. He built his own empire after ripping off Apple.

Format: Recently, communist China has attracted a lot of negative press for its exports: poisonous pet food, tainted seafood and lead paint on children’s toys. If relations between America and China were to halt, how would your industry, the street fashion industry, recover from its severed connection to cost-effective manufacturing? 
Calvero: When we had another brand prior to Crooks, we were making everything in L.A., so we have resources here in California. The Crooks and Castles tees – one of our best selling items – are already made domestically.

Format: Several fashion designers are designing into summer 2009, now. How does Crooks & Castles project what will be fashionable several season in advance? 
Calvero: We’re not quite on an action sports calendar where everything needs to be that far ahead, even though the design changes each season. Also, we stay true to our signature imagery and logos. From a brand standpoint, people identify us as a brand. We do shop and travel all over Asia and Europe, taking notice of what’s currently trending and try to forecast what is going to stick or what is going to last, then put our own twist on things.

Crooks and Castles

Format: Brand collaborations are go-crazy and that is fine, however, the practice is becoming commonplace. What characteristics does Crooks & Castles look for in the people or brands that it collaborates with? 
Calvero: The streetwear community is a tight knit of people. Everyone seems to know one another. It’s more like picking people and brands that are cool and have the same values. Sometimes, we think it will be a good marketing move. One another hand, if there is a product that a company specializes in, for instance, Mitchell N Ness specialize in sportswear memorabilia, which is why we collaborated with them on our Letterman jacket. Or if there is an item that we don’t carry, but want to make then we will push to work on that, such as sunglasses with a sunglass company.

Format: Celebrities play a large role in brand recognition. If Crooks & Castles could choose any celebrity to floss its gear, what celebrity would Crooks & Castles choose and why? 
Calvero: The right people have been supporting us without us having to target them. Jay-Z and Kanye West have had a major impact to our brand by rocking it. On a more crossover appeal, we would like English actor, Jason Statham. This would help create a mold for an edgier appeal.

Format: Crooks & Castles is worn by rappers and other rap-centric celebrities. Does Crooks & Castles get their product to these celebrities to wear or is that 100 per cent a stylist’s doing? 
Calvero: It’s about 50 per cent. Many times a stylist will hit us up, but if we like the artist then we will flow them gear.

Crooks and Castles

Format: Recently, Crooks & Castles teamed up with Internet retailer, Karmaloop, and, basically, took over front page presence of Karmaloop. How did the Crooks & Castles and Karmaloop partnership materialize and why is it mutually beneficial? 
Calvero: We wanted to test this and see how other online retailers reacted to some of our collection and having a wider online distribution.

Format: What qualities does Crooks & Castles look for in its storefront retailers? 
Calvero: We look for stores that can pay bills.

Format: The Internet blog makes awareness of street fashion skyrocket, compared to the time when word of mouth or physically seeing the product, spread awareness. What are the pros and cons in street fashion being cataloged by third party blogs? 
Calvero: The blogs are responsible for the popularity and the mainstream of streetwear and its culture. Since streetwear is the category that offers exclusive and limited product, the blogs and brands kind of work hand and hand. It’s almost like the blogs are the apparel news for the streetwear enthusiasts, sneakers fiends and the cool kids. It also saves paper!

Format: Does Crooks & Castles consider itself streetwear? 
Calvero: Yeah, we do. We originally started out as a small streetwear brand and now what we’re trying to do is solidify Crooks as a brand. Regardless of the category, we just want to be a lifestyle brand.

Crooks and Castles

Format: Bootlegging and counterfeiting are an increasing problem for street fashion companies. How does Crooks & Castles protect itself from bootlegging and counterfeiting? 
Calvero: Bootlegging and counterfeiting are an increasing problem for street fashion companies, we agree. We take certain precautions and have a lawyer. However, if brands like Louis Vuitton and Gucci can’t control them, how can we? It’s like Crooks stopping crooks.

Format: With the boom of street fashion companies herding to trade shows like MAGIC, is there opportunity to build relationships with retailers? 
Calvero: Yes, that’s exactly what MAGIC is for.

Format: In December Crooks & Castles is opening a store in L.A.. How did the need for a Crooks & Castles’ storefront presence materialize? 
Calvero: With the demand for the brand increasing more and more over the fast few seasons, we felt the timing was right to open a retail space. Harajuku, in Tokyo, have numerous brands that have their own flagship store. Having a flagship store is an extension of a marketing tool, which is also a way of growing our business. We are going to be on the same block as Fred Segal, a Bathing Ape, Marc Jacobs and Paul Smith. With our central location, we’ll also be able to expand our customer base to a more sophisticated and older clientele.

Format: Crooks & Castles is based in Los Angeles, a city that defines people, companies and industries. How is Los Angeles part of Crooks & Castles, as product and company? 
Calvero: Our whole lifestyle that developed from growing up in L.A. embodies what Crooks is all about. But when I decided to re-launch the brand, I was living on the east coast. What I was exposed to at that time was more New York based.

DJ CLARK KENT presents WELL WORTHY:NEW ERA Houston Astro Custom x Air Force 1 ID

tx_wellworthy1.jpg

When I found this hat I bought it out sheer fondness for Houston, Texas. Yes, I love the custom colorway - but before that, I Love Houston.

I spent about a year living in the 5th Ward area. This was during the building stage of Rap-A-Lot Records. I was, and still am very close to the founders of the label, James “Little J” Smith, Chief, and Leslie Wyatt (my Big Brother), and the list goes on… They are THE Reason we know Texas Rap Music. Along the years as a DJ, I came across a group named UGK (UnderGround Kings). Their music was (and still is) the TRUE Essence of TEXAS. They are looked at as LEGENDS in the South. I’ve come to know them over some time. I truly have undeniable RESPECT for them as artists and men. If you have a chance, go get some UGK albums. Listen to their music.

tx_wellworthy2.jpg

On Tuesday Dec. 4th, we lost one half of that LEGENDARY rap group, Chad “Pimp C” Butler. With this WELL WORTHY I dedicate this post to my man, PIMP C. and the town of Houston, Texas. My condolences to Chad “PIMP C” Butler’s family, friends and fans.

I’m sure that “ONE DAY” you will get the urge to “RIDE DIRTY” while you ask a chick to “LET ME SEE IT” as you pull off “CHOPPIN BLADES” as your car goes “FRONT, BACK SIDE TO SIDE” to the sound of the “INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS ANTHEM” feeling like you are “BIG PIMPIN”…

May his soul rest in peace. To my Brother BUN B - I am here for you, REAL TALK. PIMP C is absolutely WELL WORTHY! (This was not to upset anybody, BUT, to show tribute to THE MAN.)

FITTEDxWOEBOTxNEW ERA

fittedwoebot1.jpg


Pandas aren’t the first things that come to mind when you think of Hawaii. There have been multiple sitings of the Chinese nationals on walls of certain art shows and events. Hawaiian native, Aaron Martin is the artist behind the fascinating “Angry Woebot” series of paintings. Aaron is a much an island staple as say, Leonards Malasada’s; metaphorically speaking. Aaron’s dark twisted versions of these docile animals have attracted large crowds since his early shows. FITTED and ANGRY WOEBOT have birthed a NEW ERA 59Fifty cap that is dropping this weekend.

Puma Yo! MTV Raps MC Shan

MC Shan was without a doubt one of the biggest b-boys in his day. 1983 marked his breakthrough year with the Juice Crew All Stars. His classic hit "The Bridge" is the influence behind MC Shan's Yo! MTV Raps Puma sneaker. One of the immediate things you'll notice is the mis-matched colortones, staying true to Shan's style of mixing sneakers. A gold embroidery of the Queensborough Bridge can be seen on the side. Puma has also brought back the track jacket and the bucket hat as seen by MC Shan on the cover of his 1987 album "Down by Law". A red shirt with MC Shan striking a pose is also included.

AT&T Sneaker Head Commercial

I like this commercial if you havent seen it yet it's commercial for AT&T about a sneakerhead using his connects to get the kicks he wants. They recreated Alife, Undefeated, Motive 807 and Solebox. I think it is cool that they are showing the culture of sneakers in the media and to glorify the things we go through to get the kicks we need.

DJ CLARK KENT presents WELL WORTHY:
VAULT x NEW ERA + 
NIKE AF1 & JORDAN IV




YES!!! The VAULT x NEW ERA Black/Red/Cement Grey fitted IS perfect. Why?! Because, a “VAULT” is where you keep your valueables, your PRIZE possessions, your GEMS - those things that hold a special place in your heart. In my case It’s the place I keep my favorite kicks and my most WORTHY fitteds (all NEW ERA).

For this episode I opened my vault and I chose of 2 my jewels; the Black/Cement Grey/Red : Air Jordan IV & his little brother the Black/Cement Grey/Red : Air “IV-ORCE” 1 ID. I’m not sure who came up with this colorway for the VAULT fitted, but may the Sneaker GOD’s Bless the staff at Vault (one of the best places to get kicks and fitteds in Harlem World. Coming soon, is a Well Worthy from another Harlem hot spot, Goliath RF.

With that said, I must say this pairing is… VERY WELL WORTHY.

First Look: Air Jordan 12 Fusion “Playoffs”

With time the Jordan 12 Fusions have begun to grow on many heads.  Still many are not sold, but maybe seeing classic Jordan color ups will sweeten their pallet.

Not much to these shoes other than the color up being that of the “Playoff” Jordan 12s.  While these are certain to not win over all Jordan heads, the traditional colors are sure to turn a few in the direction Jordan Brand is headed.  Next year will play host to many Jordan Fusions and if sales are good, plan on seeing them even past ‘08.

No release info at this point, but when we do it will be posted on theJordan Release Dates page. Pics thanks again to Air Randy.

RUMOR: Lil Wayne Engaged To Lauren London?

RUMOR: Lil Wayne Engaged To Lauren London?

Rumors have been circulating around the internet today about Lil Wayne allegedly proposing to actress Lauren London (ATLEntourage). Just days after photos of the two at a basketball game popped up, Bossip.com has reportedly confirmed that the two are now engaged. The gossip site had this to say:

“A highly placed source close to actress Lauren London exclusively tells Bossip Lil Wayne recently slapped a ‘huge rock’ on her finger and the two are engaged. The source tells Bossip ‘they have been on and off for years and have had an open relationship. Lauren is very hood and likes thugs.’” [source]

WAYNE: Kanye Killed Me On "Barry Bonds"

IN COMPLEX MAGAZINE'S DECEMBER ISSUE

With Lil Wayne gracing their December/January cover, Complex magazine has released an uncut version of the interview on their website. In it, Wayne addresses everything from the Hot Boys reunion to smoking blunts with Oscar De la Hoya, Tom from MySpace and Bill Gates. When asked about the fact that fans have been suggesting that Kanye’s verse bested Wayne’s on his track “Barry Bonds,” Weezy had this to say:

“I think he did too, meaning his verse was better. Yeah but I’m going to get him. ‘Ye killed me on that song. I was tight because I was like it could be way hotter than this. So when I heard his verse I was like “oh, we doing this again.” I done it twice, they got two different versions. I done one and I ain’t hear his verse and I done the other one after I heard his verse and even when I finished I said why don’t you let him be the man of song. Meaning that it was needed and what I’ve done nobody else can do it.”

Wayne also addresses rumors about him ghostwriting for his collaborators:

Did you ghostwrite Tity Boi’s verse on “Duffle Bag Boy”?
Hell no, everybody be asking that, it’s so great that people think I wrote it because it shows that I am helping the game. I’m making niggas get on their shit. He’s just so much on his shit to where y’all actually thought I wrote it. Like I wrote an album with Juelz Santana and I ain’t going to lie, niggas ain’t going to listen to that shit in New Orleans for some years. I can’t help but be competitive, niggas is spitting and I’m glad because you gotta look at it like when Biggie was doing it. When Biggie and Pac did it, they didn’t have anybody trying to beat them.
