#MusicVideo | Childish Gambino - Bonfire

jatyelsom@gmail.com (Jat Yelsom(Astro Boy)) — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:58:00 -0500

This Video is very well executed. Of course, Childish Gambino is also an actor (Donald Glover), so you certainly shouldn't expect anything less.

#Clothing | Johnny Cupcakes x Nickelodeon Collaboration

jatyelsom@gmail.com (Jat Yelsom(Astro Boy)) — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 13:23:00 -0500

JC is at it again with another awesome collaboration in store. With his great sense of inner child, and his superb attention to even the smallest details; no doubt about it, this collection will be something great. If you have never owned a Johnny Cupcakes shirt, I think this collection would be an excellent way to start your own.

#Kicks | Nike Air Maestro Flight [White/Black/Volt]

jatyelsom@gmail.com (Jat Yelsom(Astro Boy)) — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 13:11:00 -0500

Nike Air Maestro Flight, a sneaker that captures the 90's very well. If you the guy not into the Jordan hype(or simply couldnt afford them) then Scottie Pippen was surely your best bet when it came to which player you wanted to be like. To be Pippen, you would definitely need a pair of Maestros.

White leather completely dominates the leather upper, including the white Nike Swoosh. A midnight black tongue strikes away from the white background. while volt accents handle the branding. Release for the retro sneaker should be in the near future.

jatyelsom@gmail.com (Jat Yelsom(Astro Boy)) — Thu, 8 Sep 2011 17:16:00 -0500

Nike has officially announced the Nike Mag. The launch of one of the most coveted sneakers in recent history. Details are listed below:

-150 pairs will be auctioned off a day for 10 days

-Proceeds benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation (@michaeljfox.org) Official title is the 2011 Nike Mag

The 2011 Nike Air Mag is said to be Nike’s first rechargeable sneaker and is designed as an exact replica of the pair Marty wore in Back to the Future II. However, the shoes will not tie themselves like in the movie. That version is still slated for 2015. The shoes feature a bright LED panel and electroluminescent Nike branding. Slight changes, such as additional foam in the ankle and forefoot, have been put into place to improve comfort. The 2011 NIKE MAG illuminates with the pinch of the “ear” of the high top, glowing for five hours per charge.

#Kicks | Nike Air Mag "Marty McFly" [Updates]

jatyelsom@gmail.com (Jat Yelsom(Astro Boy)) — Thu, 8 Sep 2011 14:42:00 -0500

In this video below, Tinker is talking about the future of Nike products and as he continues, a Nike Air Mag is tossed into the picture. Tinker continues the interview and touches on a few things about the shoe and how some of those aspects may be blending into other Nike products in the future. Does that mean computers in shoes? Is this Nike once again pushing the envelope and creating a new dynamic in the sneaker world?

-Kicks on Fire

It's been said that Michael J. Fox is to make an appearance on David Letterman tonight as well. Maybe he'll have something to say/show? Who knows, all I know is that Nike has the whole fucking world watching them right now and I'm anxious about the news.

Oh, here's a little inside pic of the meeting that's probably still going on right now.

Shout out to Nice Kicks for keeping the updates. Stay tuned for more news/coverage on the Nike Air Mag "Marty McFly"

#BTTF

-Lee Android Update: It's been revealed. The shoe has everything, except power lacing. I'm a little bummed out about that, but I'm sure it'll come sooner or later. Still, it's an awesome replica alright.

#Kicks | Nike Air Mag (Back to the Future II)

jatyelsom@gmail.com (Jat Yelsom(Astro Boy)) — Wed, 7 Sep 2011 23:31:00 -0500

Yes—the one shoe that is actually BIGGER than anything Kanye West can ever design, just might be one step closer to an official release. Nike has not released the official news though, for that will happen tomorrow during a top secret meeting. No, I'm not invited—but I know people who are, and I will have pics.

I really hope you robots start saving now, because these could drop at any time, and you better believe you'll be in competition with thousands. Even I am guaranteed to camp outside.

Stack dough, don't be slow...The Mags are coming

#Music | The Weeknd - Thursday [EP]

jatyelsom@gmail.com (Jat Yelsom(Astro Boy)) — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 22:57:00 -0500

New music from The Weeknd. His last EP, House of Balloons, ranked number one on The top 25 albums of 2011 (so far), a list made by Complex Mag. Sorry, most of you might have to wait for this download. Once Tumblr caught wind of the link, his website has been over capacity since. I suggest you wait, or press your luck and just keep tapping "F5"

#Kicks | adidas Originals Jeremy Scott “Streetball”

jatyelsom@gmail.com (Jat Yelsom(Astro Boy)) — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 16:06:00 -0500

Last time we saw the adidas Originals Jeremy Scott “Streetball” we only had a peek at the sneaker from one angle, and today we see it from every angle possible. Sure to break a few necks, the sneaker features a wide array of textures and colors across the upper. While some might argue that this are too flashy for the court, I would say that your game is not flashy enough and you don’t deserve to wear them. If you think your game can match the flash, the adidas Originals Jeremy Scott “Streetball” is available now at Atmos

#Kicks | Nike Dunk Hi Hyperfuse [Grey / Volt]

jatyelsom@gmail.com (Jat Yelsom(Astro Boy)) — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 16:01:00 -0500

Nike continues to expand its Hyperfuse collection. We’ve seen a variety of designs surface in past few months of the Nike Dunk Hi Hyperfuse, and today we have detailed photos of a brand new pair that is scheduled to release overseas within the next few days. This classic Dunk has been revamped to include Nike’s Hyperfuse upper, and consists of grey and yellow hues along with white contrasts. Look for them to release through Tokyo- based mita on Saturday.

A Bathing Ape presents the latest style from its Bapex watch collection. After having introduced the Bapex Clear for the first time a couple of seasons ago, following a trend that has been started by brands such as Toy Watch, the Japanese brand presents the first black version of the watch. We actually like the Bapex range, but do prefer the higher quality metal models.

#Kicks | Nike SB P-Rod 2.5 “Pigeon” [Spring 2012]

jatyelsom@gmail.com (Jat Yelsom(Astro Boy)) — Tue, 9 Aug 2011 14:36:00 -0500

Nobody can forget Jeff Staple’s iconic Nike SB Dunk low “Pigeon” design, which is probably why it continues to inspire sneaker designs way after the aforementioned Dunk’s release. This “Pigeon” Nike SB P-Rod 2.5 is set to drop next Spring.

#Video | Black Dynamite [Pilot]

jatyelsom@gmail.com (Jat Yelsom(Astro Boy)) — Tue, 9 Aug 2011 13:41:00 -0500

Yesterday, Adult Swim premiered their new animated project based off of the low budget, but well executed movie, Black Dynamite. The animated series will definitely hit well with audiences, in my opinion, simply because the animation closely resembles the look of The Boondocks, which is one of Adult Swim's most highly praised original shows; and the most watched--even the reruns.

I enjoyed the pilot very much, and I do hope it hits the Adult Swim television block soon.

#Kicks | New Balance 574 – [Burgundy/Grey/Teal]

jatyelsom@gmail.com (Jat Yelsom(Astro Boy)) — Tue, 9 Aug 2011 12:38:00 -0500

The 574 gets a new colorway, and I am truly digging it. Dope burgundy colored suede, and like most of the models by New Balance, the shoe also incorporates mesh inserts into the look, more specifically on the toebox, tongue, and ankle collar, which help provide the wearer’s feet with a source of ventilation. Contrasting the bold hue are softer accents including grey and teal, which make for a nice distinction.
