THESE CAPS ARE PERFECT FOR A WARDROBE





ROCKSMITH x NEW ERA

ROCKSMITH merges the worlds of New York and Tokyo street culture into their line. Pictured here are their first NEW ERA collaborations. These three styles of 59Fifties will be lining shelves this Spring. The designs lift the character and color pallate they’ve been known for and wrapped it around the silhouette of a fitted cap.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE FITTED AND ROCKSMITH TEE BELOW YOU THINKING WHAT I'M THINKING? :)



Yi JianLian NIKE AIR FORCE 1 SUPREME
Amid some controversy, budding Chinese superstar Yi JianLian left his home country in 2007 to play Basketball in the US. Drafted sixth overall by the Milwaukee Bucks, the multi talented Yi is currently averaging 10 points and 6 rebounds as a rookie starter in an unfamiliar league. In tribute to his first year in the league, Nike is set to release the "Yi" Nike Air Force 1 Supreme. With Gucci-esque inspiration, the "Yi" Nike Air Force 1 features very rich and detailed upper combination of a Creme colored premium leather and a monogram Yi print in the toebox and midpanel. Yi's "scorpion Yi" logo replaces the Nike Air logo at the heel tab as well.

The "Yi" Nike Air Force 1 Low is set to release as a Tier Zero release in Yi's home country during the month of Feb.

At this point a domestic release has not been confirmed.

Here’s a new joint from Inga’s upcoming Brooklyn’s Don Diva. Back in November, Rolling Stone called this the ’standout track’ on the album. This is interesting if only for the fact that she speaks somewhat honestly about the saga her life has been for the last couple years.

SIGN YOUR NAME IN BLOOD...LITERALLY

Putting the literal practice into the saying, “Sign your name in blood,” KDU member Bob Partington reengineered the writing instrument for a more poetic purpose so to speak. Using blood in favor of ink, the syringe drawing the fluid also serves as an attachment towards the pen’s mechanism. The blood pen will make its debut at Bread and Butter, Untitled Exhibition in Barcelona Spain on January 16, 2008.
