New Kicks: Nike SB x Air Jordan 1

noreply@blogger.com (djdonjuan4life) — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 22:33:00 +0000

Both rebels of the 1980s, Michael Jordan’s shoes and skateboarding culture collide to create the Nike SB x Air Jordan 1. MJ’s first signature made waves when it was banned from the NBA, giving the model an oppositional image that lines up with the vibes of skating. The two entities officially came together when famous skaters started donning the silhouette on the ramps in the late ’80s, appreciating its supportive ankle height and Nike Air cushioning. This mashup that has been a longtime coming is inaugurated in a green and black colorway that was designed by multimedia artist Craig Stecyk, who brought his signature tribal visual identity to the model with “AJ One SB” tonally scribed on the heel and insoles. Three renditions of the Nike SB x Air Jordan 1 will ultimately be released, with this first style code from Craig Stecyk kicking it off on March 15th. (SOURCE)

New Gear: Louis Vuitton Rolls Out Custom Luggage To Match The BMW i8 Plug-In Hybrid

noreply@blogger.com (djdonjuan4life) — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 20:27:00 +0000

Luggage that doesn’t match your $136,000 plug-in hybrid? Unthinkable!

Design house Louis Vuitton has unveiled a set of luggage that is designed to go with BMW’s new plug-in sports car, the i8.

“This collaboration with BMW epitomizes our shared values of creativity, technological innovation and style,” said Patrick-Louis Vuitton, Head of Special Orders at Louis Vuitton, in a statement. “Our craftsmen at Louis Vuitton have enjoyed the challenge of this very special project, using their ingenuity and attention to detail to create a truly made to measure set of luxury luggage. This is a pure expression of the art of travel.”

A briefcase, garment bag, and two overnight bags from the French design house are patterned to match the i8’s interior, complete with Louis Vuitton's trademark checkered Damier pattern. Made entirely from lightweight, sturdy carbon fiber, these bags not only look sophisticated, but are made to take a beating—when they aren’t riding shotgun in a six-figure sports car, of course.

“BMW and Louis Vuitton share both a profound appreciation of tradition and a commitment to constant further development,” said Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President BMW Group Design. “The use of CFRP in the revolutionary BMW i8 sports car is indicative of an intelligent lightweight construction philosophy. And Louis Vuitton has demonstrated a similar belief in innovation, aesthetics and lightweight design in creating an exclusive luggage collection tailored perfectly to the new BMW i8.”

The i8 luggage series will be available for order at select Louis Vuitton stores—including the New York location—in April. The BMW i8 is expected to be available at dealerships in the U.S. this spring. (SOURCE)

Samsung has just unveiled two new successors to its Galaxy Gear smartwatch: the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo. Ditching the Galaxy nomenclature, these two new watches look to revamp Samsung’s smartwatch lineup with lighter, more wearable designs. Both models feature 1.63″ Super AMOLED displays, are powered by 1.0 GHz dual-core processors, and can handle calls and incoming notifications, control media, and display information like the weather in addition to the time. The Gear 2 comes in slightly heavier thanks to the built-in camera but the watches are almost identical in terms of overall dimensions. Both models will be launching worldwide in April 2014.

New Tech: Bringrr Makes Sure You Never Drive Away Without You Smartphone

noreply@blogger.com (djdonjuan4life) — Thu, 20 Feb 2014 04:55:00 +0000

Detailed on the official Bringrr site, this tech gadget plugs into a car’s cigarette lighter and links up to mobile devices like your smartphone or tablet. When you start the car, power flows to the Bringrr and the gadget searches for your mobile devices over Bluetooth. If you happen to have forgotten your smartphone, a LED light will flash on the outside of the Bringrr and an audible tone will alert the user to a missing device. The creators of Bringrr have also included a standard USB port on the front of the gadget to allow users to charge their mobile devices during a drive.

In addition to Bluetooth pairing with mobile devices, the Bringrr is also compatible with a small tag called the BringTag. The BringTag is small enough to be used on a keyring as well as a bookbag, laptop bag or purse, again useful when leaving the house. Utilizing an interchangeable battery that will last approximately one year, the BringTag can also communicate with mobile devices through an application. Combined with the GPS function within most smartphones, the mobile app tracks the last location of all BringTags. In other words, you would only have to check the app to see where you accidentally left something important.

The app ties into the core scheduling application on both iOS and Android smartphones. Conceptually, it allows the user to set a specific grouping of objects that should be in the car before leaving. For instance, someone heading out on vacation on a specific day may want to tag all of their luggage to make sure everything is in the car before leaving home.

Interestingly, the developers of Bringrr have also made the device compatible with Google Glass. Rather than simply relying on the Bringrr’s audio and visual alert, Google Glass will display specific names of objects that are missing from the car. In addition, users can assign specific BringTags to an object by simply taking a picture of the item with Glass. You can also ask Glass where an item is located and the display will use arrows to indicate the location of the missing object.

Bringrr™ - Helping You Keep Track Of What Matters Most from Bringrr on Vimeo.
The creators are also attempting to develop a Bringrr community that acts as a security system of sorts. If a specific object with a BringTag is stolen, the owner should mark that item as missing. If the object passes within range of another user of the Bringrr mobile application, the owner of the object will be alerted of the location. However, personal information or location data of the person that “spotted” the stolen item will not be revealed to the original user. It’s possible that this alert system could work for pets as well, but it’s only as good as the number of people that installed the application. Competing products like Tagg are probably more useful for pets.

Since the team that’s building Bringrr already completed a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, the target window for the launch of the device is currently July 2014. After the initial batch of devices ship to early backers, the retail price of the Bringrr will be around $30 while the BringTag will be in the $20 range. Users will be able to track up to 10 different BringTags at any given time. (SOURCE)

New Trailer: Lenny Cooke (Documentary Film)

noreply@blogger.com (djdonjuan4life) — Fri, 14 Feb 2014 19:56:00 +0000

This weekend many people will be watching their favorite basketball players in action at the 2014 NBA All Star Weekend taking place in New Orleans, LA. This weekend’s festivities gives players the opportunity showcase their talent on a worldwide level, and the platform to let people know what hard work and dedication can provide you. What basketball fans don’t always get is the chance to see what happens to young basketball players in this U.S. who dream about the NBA, but for one reason or another do not make it to this level. What’s the flipside????

In 2001, Lenny Cooke was the most hyped high school basketball player in the country, ranked above future greats LeBron James, Amar’e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony. In an era when high school stars were forgoing college hoops in favor of the potential multi-million dollar contracts promised in the NBA draft, Lenny was supposed to be the next superstar. He had the world at his fingertips. But over a decade later, while his peers are taking home MVP awards and championship trophies, Lenny has never played a minute in the NBA. What went wrong?

With incredible access to Lenny’s story as it unfolded over the past decade, filmmaking brothers Joshua and Benny Safdie follow Lenny from his run-down home in Bushwick, Brooklyn, to the New Jersey suburbs where he spent his high school career through to the present day, with the friends and family who shared in his dreams and aspirations. Lenny Cooke is a quintessentially American story about dreaming big, the fickle nature of sports celebrity and the unfulfilled destiny of a man for whom superstardom was only just out of reach.

New Whip: Ferrari California T

noreply@blogger.com (djdonjuan4life) — Thu, 13 Feb 2014 22:49:00 +0000

Ahead of its official public debut at the upcoming Geneva Auto Show, Ferrari presents its latest latest iteration of its California grand tourer: the California T. As expected, the front-engine stallion makes use of an all-new 3.9-liter turbocharged V8 engine – an innovative design promising zero turbo lag and producing 560 horsepower along with 557 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to the increased power, the new convertible can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.6 seconds while also boasting improved gas mileage and lower emissions compared to that of the previous California. Aesthetic points of emphasis include a retractable hardtop, a Turbo Performance Engineer screen in conjunction with a 6.5″ infotainment system, and a Pininfarina-assisted exterior design influenced by that of the 250 Testa Rossa of the 1950s and ’60s. Expect pricing and availability to be revealed with the car’s debut in Switzerland next month.

New Article: Kanye West Covers Complex’s “The College Dropout” Week

noreply@blogger.com (djdonjuan4life) — Mon, 10 Feb 2014 22:25:00 +0000

At this moment in human history, it would be difficult to name a more celebrated, more vilified or more ubiquitous cultural figure than Kanye West. His recent pronouncement to Zane Lowe ("We are culture. Rap is the new rock and roll... We the biggest rock stars, and I’m the biggest of all of them") may have been self-important, but it wasn't the slightest bit exaggerated. So it's hard to believe that just ten years ago today, the Chicago-born producer responsible for Jay Z's "Takeover" released his enormously influential debut album, The College Dropout. Arriving almost exactly a year after 50 Cent's massive debut Get Rich Or Die Tryin', Kanye's music and persona could not have been more different than the Queens MC with all the bullet wounds. "Wasn't talkin' bout coke and birds," he said on his lead single, "It was more like spoken word." Not everybody was a believer from the jump, but Yeezy himself always saw the vision clearly.

Ten years later Kanye's lovable college bear mascot has morphed into the fearsome Kanyeti and the bejeweled Margiela mask, while his sound has evolved from what one writer called "the heady chipmunk-soul exuberance of The College Dropout" to the brutal digital minimalism of Yeezus. During that 10-year run, Complex and Kanye have enjoyed a special creative kinship. At every step along the way, one thing has remained consistent: Kanye's laserlike focus on perfection and his unwillingness to compromise on even the smallest detail. In that spirit we're celebrating the 10th anniversary of Mr. West's seminal debut with a next-level digital cover featuring a never-before-published 2002 interview between Kanye West and Complex chief content officer Noah Callahan-Bever. Much more than just a throwback Q&A, what emerges from this conversation is that Kanye has always known exactly where he was going, even though it took the rest of us a while to catch on. NCB and Yeezy's dialogue is accompanied by evocative illustrations by Sam Rodriguez and animation by Robert Hribernick that brings select moments from their interview (including a hot freestyle) to life. We're also rolling out associate editor Insanul Ahmed's definitive oral history of the making of The College Dropout. Keep checking back for more exclusive Kantent during Complex's "The College Dropout" week. As Ye put it ten years ago in his first Complex cover story: "You can't take anything away from me if I have that ego. It's part of the whole ambiance, so just enjoy the ride.”

Interview by: Noah Callahan-Bever

THE COLLEGE DROPOUT 10 YEARS LATER KANYE WEST ALWAYS KNEW HE WAS A GENIUS—THE REST OF THE WORLD JUST TOOK A LITTLE LONGER TO REALIZE IT.

ON THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS SEMINAL DEBUT ALBUM, WE REVISIT A CONVERSATION WITH YOUNG YEEZY, AND BEHOLD THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME. WHEN PEOPLE KNOW THAT YOU KNOW KANYE WEST—THESE DAYS, AT LEAST—YOU GET A LOT OF, “CAN YOU BELIEVE WHAT HE SAID ON [INSERT ZANE LOWE/BREAKFAST CLUB/SWAY/CONCERT RANT, ETC….]?”

And I always say, “Yeah, I can totally believe it.“ He's been saying the same things since I first met him in August of 2002: Kanye West is a supreme talent with a definite vision and a ridiculous work ethic, and will you all just stop questioning him and get the hell out of his way?

Today he‘s a lot more accomplished, but faces the same skepticism. Consequently, he‘s a lot more frustrated, too.

It may be hard to recall in this era of hip-hop—where personal style trumps street credibility and rappers are emerging from all economic classes, ethnicities, and sexual orientations—exactly how unlikely Kanye West’s musical ascent was 10 years ago. 50 Cent was king and everyone else rapping was vying to be the second hardest man alive. As a result, despite West‘s successes producing for Jay Z and having a demo containing “Jesus Walks,” he could not catch a break. Columbia passed on him. Rawkus passed on him. Even Jay Z didn't see it. West almost ended up in Capitol’s house of (zero) hits, right next to Dilated Peoples.

But that didn’t happen. Because Kanye West is Kanye West. And everything he says about himself, he means that shit, like exclamation, exclamation, exclamation!!!

And it‘s a lot. I get it. When I first met him at Baseline Studios, during a Blueprint 2 session, so I could interview him for Mass Appeal, I wasn’t prepared for the full-on onslaught of epic self-confidence and shameless self-evangelizing, either. Coming from a family of low-key arrogant brainiacs that champion feigned humility over braggart salesmanship, I too was taken aback. I was expecting your typical beat-making rap nerd. A guy like me who would want to talk about drum fills and the difference between the compression on an MPC and an ASR. To my chagrin, Kanye was way more interested in discussing his adidas, which were admittedly fire, and pointing out that he had been wearing them in the studio before certain other MCs name-dropped them on their songs. When I threw on the recorder and tried to steer the conversation to music, he basically dismissed all my queries about beats and, incredulous that I wasn't yet up on his budding rhyme career—remember, this was pre-car crash, pre-”The Bounce,“ and pre-Get Well Soon—started rapping at me. Here‘s the scene: Early September, 2002. It‘s late afternoon and I‘m standing on the sidewalk in front of Baseline on 27th Street. The door to Kanye‘s Benz truck is open and he‘s sitting in the passenger seat, half inside and half outside the car. He‘s cueing beats on the stereo at ground-shaking volume and rapping and rapping and rapping. At me. Pedestrians are walking by looking at both of us like we‘re nuts. Needless to say, though, he got his point across.

He had a very clear idea of what he wanted the Mass Appeal story to be, too, and was not shy about letting me know. Throughout the five- to six-hour ride-along he would often say things like, “When you’re writing this you should say....” Later, at his apartment in Hoboken, I chuckled noting that he had nothing on the walls except an early flat screen (which replaced the box-TV infamously given to Sway) and a poster of himself wearing a Nolan Ryan throwback, which he’d blown up from a quarter-page photo that ran in The Source’s Roc-A-Fella cover story. This guy... I thought.

But I got over the initial shock of Kanye’s Kanye-ness as soon as he started playing sketches of what would become The College Dropout. I started to understand him and his behavior. It all made sense. This dude was attempting to buck every trend, every assumption of “what would work,“ and quite literally change the course of popular music. And, in quick succession, popular culture. Frankly, you have to have King Kong–size balls to even consider such an ambition. And to actualize it, you have to be an unstoppable force. And unstoppable forces are, by nature, grating. They’re motherfucking unstoppable, yo!

So of course he had to sell me on his rap skills or die trying. And of course he was micromanaging the interview—every sentence could either advance his agenda or not. And of course he had to have the hero shot of himself blown up in the crib. He was visualizing himself as a star. The grating and the great were inextricably bound. And, for this, we should be grateful.

Look at the landscape of music and culture today. It all starts with The College Dropout, and West's audacious belief in his own ability to change the world.

Here‘s a conversation with young Kanye West, back before I or anyone else knew who Kanye West was going to become—except Kanye West, of course. (CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING THE COMPLETE ARTICLE)

New Tech: PlayStation 4’s Latest Update Adds Support For Sony Pulse Headsets

noreply@blogger.com (djdonjuan4life) — Tue, 04 Feb 2014 18:04:00 +0000

The latest PlayStation 4 firmware update, v1.60, adds support for Sony’s line of Pulse wireless headsets. This includes the Pulse, Pulse – Elite Edition, and the soon-to-be-released PlayStation Gold Wireless headset. All three sets of cans support 7.1 virtual surround sound audio and voice chat, and they all charge via USB. The v1.60 update should be live “late tonight,” according to PlayStation Blog.

The Gold Wireless headset, due for release “early this month” and retailing for $99.99, is compatible with PlayStation 3, PS4, and PS Vita, as well as PC. An included USB dongle is required to pair the headset with the two consoles or a PC, and an included 3.5mm headphone jack is all that’s need to connect to a Vita. The Gold Wireless also features a folding design and can be fitted with customized faceplates.

There’s been a disappointing absence of wireless headset support on both of the newly released consoles. This PS4 firmware update is limited to just Sony peripherals, but it’s more support than we’ve seen since the console launched on November 15, 2013. (SOURCE)

New Tech: In Madden Super Bowl, EA Sports sees Peyton Manning and Broncos beating Seahawks in historic game

noreply@blogger.com (djdonjuan4life) — Tue, 28 Jan 2014 20:41:00 +0000

Super Bowl XLVIII will have it all — some snow, a furious comeback and a game-winning kick in the first overtime contest in the game’s history.

At least that’s how EA Sports sees Sunday’s clash between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks at MetLife Stadium playing out.

The video game company released its official Madden Super Bowl Prediction Monday, an annual simulation of the Super Bowl on its flagship football video game. EA Sports has correctly predicted eight of the previous 10 Super Bowls, and if the company is right again this year, it will mean Peyton Manning will have made history in a thrilling, snowy contest.

The simulation saw the Broncos defeat the Seahawks in overtime, 31-28, in Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium. Matt Prater kicked a 48-yard field goal through snowfall for the win, making Manning the first quarterback to win a Super Bowl with two different teams after winning Super Bowl XLI with the Colts.

Manning won game MVP honors in the simulation, throwing for 322 yards and three touchdowns. He was intercepted by Richard Sherman, the trash-talking, self-proclaimed best corner in the NFL, who ran it back for a touchdown right before halftime to give Seattle a 10-7 lead at the break.

That didn't stop virtual Manning from throwing at the boisterous Stanford grad again. With Sherman covering him, Demaryius Thomas hauled in a 17-yard touchdown pass in the third. A Knowshon Moreno goal-line touchdown run gave Denver a 21-10 lead before Seahawks kicker Steven Hauschka cut the lead to eight at the end of the quarter.

Manning connected with Wes Welker for a 24-yard score which gave the Broncos a 28-13 lead, but Seattle would not go down quietly. Russell Wilson's touchdown pass to Golden Tate cut the lead back to eight, and with the clock winding down in regulation, Marshawn Lynch ripped off a 27-yard touchdown run. On the game-tying two-point conversion attempt, Wilson faked a handoff to Lynch, rushed left, broke a tackle and crossed the plane to send the game to overtime.

The Seahawks got the ball to start overtime but Denver's defense rebounded from its fourth-quarter collapse to force a three-and-out punctuated by a Shaun Phillips. On the ensuing drive, Sherman was humbled again, allowing another big gain from Manning to Thomas that set up Prater's game-winning field goal; check out the video below. (SOURCE)
