BONUS:

Takashi Murakami X Louis Vuitton

Everybody has seen the Murakami X Louis Vuitton Monogram bags before...(haven't they?)
Anyway...here is the respected artist's latest collaboration with the legendary French baggage company.
This collection is called the "Monogramouflage" and it represents an interesting integration of camoflauge into the world of high fashion from its roots as a tool of combat...(fighting a war on the catwalk possibly?!)
Available now from your local Louis Vuitton retailer, but some have already hit eBay.

DOPE!

I'm loving these caps right about now.
You can either buy individual character caps, or get one with all the characters on, and also, the cap features the street logo on the back.
It's one that I didn't see coming, but personally, it's one I love.
Available from FUCTARD.

SNEAK, SNEAK, SNEAK OF THE WEEK!!!

This week's sneak of the week is again from Nike.
It's the Blazer High Premium (Multicolour Scribble).
The thing I love about these kicks is that the pattern on 'em reminds me of the spirograph toy that I always loved as a child, but never got one lol.
The other thing I love about these is the way the whitewash mid-sole and swoosh contrast against the black base and black sole.
They are set to drop in July, but early reports have said that many Nike retailers have decided to sell these sneaks early...if they ain't available now, keep an eye peeled for these babies soon.

ICE-T/SOULJA BOY "BEEF"

Right, so Ice-T dissed Soulja Boy and blamed him for "Single handedly killing off hip-hop".
Despite Ice-T being one of the "OG's" of hip-hop, young Soulja Boy replied with a 7-minute long edited video response.
This "beef" was totally uncalled for and even Kanye West had his say by putting on HIS BLOG this statement:
"Soulja boy is fresh ass hell and is actually the true meaning of what hip hop is sposed to be. He came from the hood, made his own beats, made up a new saying, new sound and a new dance with one song. He had all of America rapping this summer. If that ain't Hip Hop then what is? A bunch of wannabe keep it real rappers that ain't even relevant, recycling samples trying to act like it's 96 again and all they do is hate on new shit? Niggas always talk about the golden age but for a 13 year old kid, this is the golden age!!! That song was so dope cause everything he said had a hidden meaning... that's Nas level shit... he just put it over some steel drums which is also some Nas shit if you had the 2nd album cassette with the bonus track "Silent Murder" on it. In closing... new niggas get ya money$$$$$$$$$$ Keep this shit fresh and original.... ain't no fuckin' rules to this shit and that's what real hip hop is to me."

Here is Ice-T's vid:


And here is Soulja Boy's:


Sorry Ice-T...BUT YOU CAN'T KNOCK THE HUSTLE!!!

I FORGOT...

How dope this tune is.

SKATESKETBALL PT. 2

I forgot to mention last time about the consequences of playing Skatesketball...before oyu start the game you might wanna make sure that either (1) It's not your board..or (2) You don't care about the board...because this will happen.

YOU MUST FACE THE CONSEQUENCES!!!

NIKE SB BMX PACK PREVIEW

I don't know a lot about this collection, all I know is that it consists of two Blazer Hi's and two Dunk Low's, and they also have the star design running through them.
Release Date: July '08.
DOPE.

A SHOP CALLED WOOD.

Yes, yes, my boy got his shop open today.
A shop called Wood. They got some real dope stuff in there, if you looking for any Stussy...he got it!
Find it at:
A Shop Called Wood
6 Market Avenue
Huddersfield
HD1 2BB

Now get on with the flicks:

DON'T BE FOOLED!

I know that some of you rock fakes knowing they're fakes...I know some of you are tricked into thinking that products are real...when they're fake.
I know that some of you are just not quite sure.
Well, DON'T BE FOOLED ANYMORE!!!
A short visit to my boy Kuffi's rofcheck.net will keep you away from fakes if you ain't so sure.
The guys over there got dope styles too, and they're all pretty cool.
So GO, GO, GO!

Hip-Hop saved my life...

It's true, but a bit of Lionel Richie and you can't go wrong...

Somehow, I found this CD in my room, when its clearly my parents lol

But you know...I guess it was a good listen, I didn't listen to it just once, or twice, but three times my people. (Corny I know!)

Skatesketball...

Its a new game i invented...


You ride around a basketball court on your skateboard...towards the basket, as you get towards the basket, you step off your board in lay-up style fashion, pick your board up, and shoot!


Just make sure you don't get hit by the rebound lol!





But I found out there was one thing wrong with this game...





What if this happens?!

It took me 5 minutes of my best Kobe Bryant jumps to get this down...but was worth it...I won the game :D

PEACE!

Crooks and Castles

Illuminati summer 2008 collection.

First pieces of the Crooks & Castles Illuminati Summer '08 collection have landed at Haven. The retailer got in t-shirts from the C&C high end collection, which targets a more mature consumer than their regular line.

All t-shirts are available now in both black and white.

P.S. The bottom one is my favourite!!

50 Cent and Young Buck beef is official!

I know it was a couple days ago, but 50 released a recorded phone convo between him and buck where buck was 'begging' to be let back in g-unit. Buck didnt take very well to it and he released a song called 'the taped conversation' in which he goes down hard on G-Unit. Whats even better is that The Game has done the beat aswell in which it seems hes backing Young Buck up!!

Nike + Human Race

SOURCE: HIGH SNOBIETY

On August 31, 2008 Nike is staging the largest running event of all time. 25 cities. 25 10k events. London, Los Angeles, Paris, Melbourne, Shanghai and Vancouver are among the cities participating.

The event is aiming to pull in a large sum of money for participating charities, including the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the UN Refugee Agency. Runners will be able to race for a cause, as well as say they were part of the worlds largest running event. To get in the mix, log on to nikeplus.com where you can register and also get training tips.

As an extra incentive each of the 25 cities will be treated to a special concert at the race finish site. In LA, Kanye will be hitting the Colieseum. One can only imagine he'll be sporting a special mock up of his signature shoe. Moby will take Wembley Stadium in London. Fall Out Boy will be in Chicago and Kelly Rowland in Paris (guess she is actually popular somewhere). An excellent event, and one that will surely connect legions of dedicated runners around the world.

Kanye UniverseCity Varsity Jacket

DOPE!
Kanye was recentley seen rocking this jacket down in Atlanta...it feautures the bear artwork as seen on his "Graduation" album cover done by artist Takashi Murakami, it feautures classic varsity jacket feautures such as classic leather sleeves and a striped cuff and collar.
Rumours about it being from his "Pastelle" clothing line have yet to be confirmed, but all I know is that this jacket is fresh to death!!!
P.S. Check the dope AJ8's he's rockin!

Jeremy Scott Toolbox Sunglasses

Designer Jeremy Scott, recently famous for making THESE sunglasses that Kanye is wearing, has came up with some new shades.
Called the toolbox for their gold-embossed frame, that resembles the toolboxes in garages etc...these babies are available for $289 whilst you can get 'em.
Buy HERE.

Rockin' Jellybean X BBC

After the success of the extremely limited Rockin Jellybean X BBC hoodies and t-shirts, the Japanese designer is again to team up with BBC/Ice Cream to create this crewneck sweater.
It will be released as a part of the yet to be revealed Season 7 collection, so keep an eye out for more...

Although I am not personally a giant fan of Lil Wayne, I gotta give props 2 him, going platinum in the first week!
He sold 1,005,545 copies to be exact!
Well done Mr. Carter!!!

NO-MORE KEY SOUND...

If like mine, your family members can't stand the sound of the key tapping sound...well then this is for you.
It's the no-key keyboard by Kong Fanwen.
The keyboard consists of just a glass surface, camera and lighting.

DOPE.

These pics are a few weeks old...but I thought that I'd share 'em with you.
It's Pharrell's iced out Casio G-Shock Bape watch...as dubbed by "Jedi P" himself...he's on his "Dark Shit"...he said "Seems as a lot of people are starting to get this G-Shock done, I had to end the game" - Jedi P

WOW WA WEE WAA!!!

These are some interesting sandals/flip-flops...whatever.
Called the Miami sandal...my sister is going to Miami in October...somehow I don't think she'll be rocking these.
Buy 'em HERE at cliffedge.co.jp for $145 (around £75)

Boxfresh x Raleigh BMX

Boxfresh combined with US bicycle maker Raleigh to produce an extremely limited BMX model. Boxfresh currently only has two bikes in stock, so act fast. Traditional Raleigh details are on the frame, while boxfresh graphics are on the pads, seat and front fork.

SNEAK, SNEAK, SNEAK OF THE WEEK!

Here we have my sneaker of the week...
The Nike Air Max 90 "King of the Mountain"
It's only available at selected Nike retail stores...probably only in the US.
I don't know about the price but availability is pretty rare.

AIR YEEZY TO BE RELEASED???

Rumour has it that Nike will release the much hyped Nike X Kanye West "Air Yeezy"
These kicks were originally thought to be the Ato Matsumoto Cowhide boot when Kanye sported these at the Grammy's but further research and pictures certainly proved that they wasn't.
The kicks are made up of 3 of Kanye's favourite sneakers, the Bape Roadsta, the Ato Matsumoto Cowhide boot, and the Nike Air Jordan III.
They have been spotted in several colourways, but it is the tan colourway that is rumoured to be released.


One word: DOPE.
