with one comment

CDG done-did-it again! Yesterday, a picture of the upcoming collabo between Nike and Comme Des Garcons leaked out on the net. This is the 2nd collabo between the two.

STREET ART: OBAMA FOR PREZ

without comments

This was spotted on the 23rd St. station stop on the C/E lines in Manhattan on my way to a couple of galleries in Chelsea. I’m not sure who the artist is, but I do dig the powerful statement, layout-design, and choice of image for this wheatpaste. Read the rest of this entry »

VIDEO GAME: CAPCOM’S STREET FIGHTER IV ARCADE

with 2 comments

I’m not much of a gamer, but I spent most of my childhood hanging out with one- my older brother. Back in the day when we used to go to the mall with our parents, we weren’t interested in shopping because our $5 allowance wasn’t enough to go shopping with. We did however spend alot of time spending our allowance and loose coins hanging around in the house at the arcade. Of course who can forget one of the all time best arcade fighting game ever… Street Fighter. Yeah others followed… ahem* Mortal Kombat… But there was nothing like Ken’s Dragon Punch and Chun Li’s Speed Kicks. It was all fun and games (literally) back in the day.

FOOTWEAR: Sneaky Steve Money In The Bank Sneaker

without comments

Sneaky Steve is genius, I love the name! I LOVE the sneakers MORE, it’s so refreshing and fun to watch new brands come out and do their own thing. I ran into a pair of Sneaky Steve at Urban Outfitters, yes, I did say Urban Outfitters and I have to say they are so amazing and the price point ain’t too bad. 

Sneaky Steve was launched in Autumn 2007 in the USA, Scandinavia, and Europe. The sneakers were created to fill the gap between expensive designer brands and shitty but cheap home brands. With a pair of Sneaky Steve, you get the best of both worlds. Sneaky Steve is made for all sneaker lovers who want genuine design with an attitude for a bloody good price.
