Nike Air Diamond Turf Black/White-Teal


Nike just re-released the OG White/Sport Red/Metallic Gold Air Diamond Turf, now it's time to see the return of the Black/White-Teal colorway. These are by far the BEST colorway. First released in 1993, these have yet to be brought back, but they will return. Great news to Deion Sanders and Turf shoe fans. They stay true to the OG, minus a few logo changes as Neon Deion is no longer with Nike. No release date yet, but expect these pretty SOON. Retail will be $105.

Air Jordan XIII (13) Retro November 2010


It's like Christmas in Autumn!! Even though I've been saying ever since January that the Flint XIII's would be re-releasing, I'm excited that JB has confirmed the rumors. I remember my brother and I both having a pair of these back in 1998. And I remember both of us getting in trouble for me destroying my pair and my brother for having his pair stolen from his locker at school. These are one of my sneaker grails, so I'll scoop doubles on release date, if it's the last thing I do.

I'm glad the materials are up to par, and nothing major has changed from the originals to the '05's and now. I would say that these do carry a deeper hue of French blue and flint grey, somewhat similar to the OG's whereas the 2005 release were lighter. Expect these just in time for you to rock them to Thanksgiving dinner. Retail will be $150.

Adidas Originals x Jeremy Scott Fall 2010


Jeremy Scott, the Innovative designer behind the Adidas JS Wings, does another dope collabo with Adidas Originals by Originals for the Fall 2010 collection. Pushing the envelope is what has turned Mr. Scott in to a heavyhitter in the streetwear/fashion industry, and he shows no signs of that changing soon.

My Favorite artist is taking it back to his mixtape roots with the sequel to his SUPER DOPE Seinfield inspired The Mixtape About Nothing entitled "More About Nothing".

NO NO NO!!! I remember Jason Mayden of Jordan Brand saying that this Fusion mess would end. I guess he meant eventually, after more butchering.

The King's Heatin' Up South Beach



Last night, Lebron announced he'll be playing for the Heat next season. Although, I'm disappointed in his decision, I have to respect it 'cause that's HIS decision. Being a Cavs fan, I feel betrayed, but as a Lebron fan I'm happy for him. Oh well, you'll still see a pair of Lebron VIII's on my feet when they release. Best of luck @Kingjames

Selvage Denim

Not your average department store True Religions, or prep school jock's favorite jean, Selvage denim is top of the line. Selvage, or "Selvedge", means that the material is cross-weaved in one continuous thread, old school style, rather than the cross-weaving of individual threads of your regular denim. They're made with the highest quality material. Averaging no less than $80 a pair, selvage denim is well worth the price tag because they're built Ford tough and virtually indestructable.

Japanese Selvage is the most rare and the finest, and can range from $100 up to $800. Handmade with similar quality to vintage Levis, Japanese denim companies produce the best selvage, hence the hefty price tag. It can also be dyed with natural dye and natural washes rather than a synthetic dye and wash.

Check out some of the best Selvage Brands:
