Super for 10 Corso Como 4th Anniversary Seoul

noreply@blogger.com (john) — Thu, 24 May 2012 20:58:00 +0000

Super is donning 10 Corso Como with their very own design of shades for their Seoul flagship store's 4th anniversary. The design is a simple and chic white tortoise shell that fits the 10CC aesthetic quite perfectly...

If you are in Seoul, be sure to stop by 10 Corso Como to check these, because unfortunately that is the only place that they will be releasing.

Eternal sunshine for the spotless eyes...

UNIQLO Wake-Up

noreply@blogger.com (john) — Thu, 10 May 2012 14:32:00 +0000

Very quietly (possibly due to lack of promotion), UNIQLO has released a barrage of apps lately that fit in with your daily life. The latest is actually a pretty cool, albeit simple, alarm clock called UNIQLO Wake-Up.

Wake-Up plays some peaceful music and a very pleasant female voice tells you the time and weather in an awkwardly melodic way. It worked fine for me this morning, but if you're a heavy sleeper you might want to set your extremely annoying and brash iPhone alarm as a backup.

Available for iPhone, Android, and PC/MAC, you can find it here or in your app stores.

I'll be splitting time between here and The Dap again now. Sorry for the abandonment.

The Flatbush Zombies are back with more visuals, this time for a new track, S.C.O.S.A. (Snorting Coke Off A Stripper's Ass)...

After seeing these dudes live, I'm a full fledged Zombies fan. Hope you all enjoy the drug induced madness.

Flatbush Zombies - Thug Waffle | Video

noreply@blogger.com (john) — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 04:49:00 +0000

After seeing the name 'Flatbush Zombies' in my timeline a few times from Eric Arc Elliot, I eventually had to click a link out of pure intrigue and I was brought to the video for Thug Waffle. And since I'm posting it, needless to say, I fucks with it heavy!...

I hate labeling things, but these grimy, underground, low budget projects coming out lately are KILLING it. Definitely fuck with the Flatbush Zombies

No project from the Zombies as of yet but the fact that Eric Arc Elliot is producing for them gives me high hopes for something dope. I'll definitely be keeping you posted on here.

NYFW: The Men Outside of Milk Studios

noreply@blogger.com (john) — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 01:47:00 +0000

And now for the dudes that did their thing. *disclaimer*: some animals were definitely hurt in the making of these outfits...

Somewhere, a PETA member is shedding a single tear.

Dead animals and primary colors were the move but c'mon... THAT FENDI BUBBLE THOUGH!?!! My feelings were hurt, that jacket is too cold!

NYFW: The Women Outside of Milk Studios

noreply@blogger.com (john) — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 01:34:00 +0000

Finally had a day off yesterday, so figured I'd at least capture a little bit of New York Fashion Week by lurking around Milk Studios while the Jeremy Scott show was taking place inside. And due to the nature of the show I was excited to be able to see the more wild side of NYFW street style...

Lots of makeup, fur, and wild patterns... oh and no smiles, smiles definitely are not cool.

noreply@blogger.com (john) — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:11:00 +0000

The homie, Meezy, aka Jemar Souza, has been busting his ass over the past year working on his side project, 'My Decade'; and now that the designs and final touches have been completed he is reaching out for a little support to get this project started...

threesixTEN

I seent the samples, and trust me, they're quite dope. So if you would be down to help out an aspiring artist publish his first book, head on over to the KickStarter page he's got, learn a little bit more, and show a some support if you can!

If you have any questions or comments for Jemar on this project, be sure to hit him up on twitter (@jmeezys). He's pretty social media obsessive so I guarantee a reply!

Bape ® x Comme des Garçons PLAY

noreply@blogger.com (john) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:00:00 +0000

*sigh*...

My intuition is telling me that this could end really really bad. I'm just picturing camo sweaters with red hearts or ABCamo heart tees, and it's all making me shudder. But hey, let's be optimistic and hope for the best, because you know that no matter what it looks like, we'll be seeing it all over the place soon.

That image is literally all the info as of now, as Bape's twitter page uploaded it this morning.

MIssoni x Converse - Auckland Racer

noreply@blogger.com (john) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 02:26:00 +0000

The Missoni x Converse collab has been consistently strong thus far, using the Chucks as the primary canvas to work with. However for the spring we get a sportier model, the Auckland Racer in a super clean and rather subtle pattern...

If done right these could be epically killer. Check for 'em in the coming months at Converse flagships and top accounts.

Schoolboy Q ft A$AP Rocky - Hands on the Wheel | Video

noreply@blogger.com (john) — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 18:35:00 +0000

Schoolboy Q and A$AP Rocky bless us with some visuals for their latest track 'Hands on the Wheel', off of Schoolboy's album Habits and Contradictions...

Definitely one of my favorite tracks off of H&C, and the video perfectly keeps the vibe of the album and artwork that's already been established... aka dark, grimy and full of drugs and alcohol.
I'm not sure if this new niche of hip hop will be the new wave or maintain it's underground gritty appeal, but either way it's fun to watch and it seems like some new sounds and styles are finally entering hip hop. Exciting times; always interesting and inspiring to see an entire sub-genre become established, especially one that feels very DIY.

Edwin - "JAPAN" Video

noreply@blogger.com (john) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 16:59:00 +0000

The denim guys over at Edwin put together this fantastic video, simply titled "Japan" that loosely follows the manufacturing process of their jeans, but also gives an amazingly accurate look into everyday life in Japan...

Maybe it resonated with me a little extra for having lived that life, but they captured that working class/ blue collar life in Japan pretty damn well. The people who you might never notice but keep everyday life in order, from the man controlling the subway platform, to the dude in the tiny stand still chef-ing up something for you at 1am. So if the point of this video was intended to strike those chords, it definitely worked.

Check the store locator on their site to find out where you can try on some Edwins yourself.

Trips to The MoMa

noreply@blogger.com (john) — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 03:39:00 +0000

A few visuals from my short visit to The MoMa today...

Not sure why this place just wan't inspiring me today, I think I was in the classical art mood... but none the less, these pieces definitely caught my eye and my mind. There was also plenty of Matisse, Van Gogh, Seurat that always blows my mind up close but that deserves to be seen in person, no camera can truly capture those.

Do yourself a favor and hit up a museum or gallery this week, we all could use more art in our lives.

Respect, love, and art.

Pickups: Nike x Fragment ACG Zoom Meriweather TZ

noreply@blogger.com (john) — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 01:05:00 +0000

Winter time pickups from the old Nike brethren, it's the Nike x Fragment Zoom Meriweather TZ in silver/grey/obsidian ...

The suede on these is rather sexy, and for a more bulky winter shoe they are DAMN comfortable! Also comes in a deep navy which is super clean as well. Being a TZ release there are only a handful of places to grab these around the globe, some of which being 21 Mercer in NYC, Bodega in Boston, and UNDFTD in LA.
