UNDRCRWN Spring '09 Delivery 2

Earlier this year I presented to you the lovely UNDRCRWN Spring '09 lookbook featuring Asher Roth and a myriad of kick-ass looks from the collection. Recently, the spirited streetwear label has released the looks from the second delivery of their Spring '09 collection and things are looking pretty good.

While UNDRCRWN certainly remains on top of their shit with new t-shirt releases, the true spectacle of this drop is their outerwear which consists of stadium jackets and some pretty unconventional, yet totally-satisfying tracksuits that are sure to turn heads now that it is nice and hot outside...

Alife S/S '09 Tee Shirts

If you have been following this blog consistently enough, or if you have had extensive conversations with me at parties that usually involve horrible djing mixed with horribly concocted beverages, then you probably know that I definitely have an affinity for Alife and just about everything associated with them. Not only do they construct great shoes on a consistent basis, but they also feature excellent collaborations and simple designs that aren't over the top and remain consistently worth wearing time and again.

This weekend, on May 2nd after you pick up your Supra Dixons and your Air Yeezys (ha yeah, because you'll just be able to walk in the store and pick up Yeezys and all), be sure to pick up a couple of Alife tee shirts from your friendly neighborhood Alife boutique. The brand is releasing 20 new tee shirt designs in many different colorways so don't act like there ain't something for you laying around... (via High Snobiety)

10.Deep S/S '09 Part Deux

Earlier this year I presented to you guys the first component of 10.Deep's Spring '09 "Nineteen Ninety-Now" collection which featured an excellent array of tees, denim, fitteds as well as some cut-and-sew pieces. This time around, 10.Deep is showing you that they aren't done yet and are coming back at you for a second round of, not surprisingly, excellent pieces that are mostly grounded in the brand's cut-and-sew lineup, that sustains an aesthetic that is one part workmans, and another part prep school.

Nike Air Yeezy - Black/Pink

I remember back in '08 when the internet was going apeshit over spy photos or random pictures of people running around in Air Yeezys, especially considering the fact that they were one of the world's rarest shoes that weren't designed specifically for collectors. After the release of the gray colorway in early April, which seems like a year ago I might add, it is safe to say that we have learned very much about the dynamics surrounding the larger-than-life buzz of a product that is available only in limited quantities and all of the associated hell that comes with release day.

Well, people, it looks like we are making our way back around to round two and towards a colorway that is even more sought after than its predecessor: The Pink/Black combination that has set the internet on fire. Despite the fact that release day in New York went surprisingly well for the gray colorway, there has been some serious foaming at the mouth by people who really, and I mean fucking really want to get their greasy paws on a pair of the Black/Pink Air Yeezys come May 2nd... Because Nike was nice enough to release these shoes on a non-work day and all...

These kicks, like the ones from the April Release will be available for a retail price of $215, and bring your shank and switchblade because if money won't work out, you might have to stab someone for these shoes. (images courtesy of KicksOnFire)

Supra's Antwuan Dixon + Video

You may or may not have seen Antwuan Dixon's new Supra advertisement for his upcoming pro model poised for release on May 1st but regardless, it is a pretty exciting time.

Traditionally speaking, I try to keep color out of everything that I write, but I can't help but address something that I have noticed over the last few years: Skateboarding is blowing up big time in the black community. I remember back in the day when I used to get my kick and push on, riding my Black Label Government Edition around The Village and Park Slope. I was one of the only black kids rollin' around on a skate deck, and that was just one of those things that I had to get used to.

However, with the influx of skateboarding into black culture via popular culture, things have changed. More times than not, you'll see me striking down a large majority of popular culture mostly on the premise that it is retarded, mastubatory or trivial, but for that one time out of ten, you'll find me accepting it with open arms. When it came to the introduction of individuals like Pharrell and Lupe Fiasco into mainstream hip-hop circuit, and skate culture became increasingly more aligned with hip-hop culture, it seems as if skating became more than what was percieved as a "white sport," metamorphosing into something more multicultural.

Increasingly so, we are seeing more products of this phenomenon. Not to say that cats like Supra's Antwuan Dixon and TK weren't skating before guys like Pharrell & Fiasco came onto the scene. They probably were. However, without this cross-pollination of cultures, it would have been interesting to see how accepting their communities would have been after producing professional skateboarders as opposed to professional small forwards. All I know is that, personally, as a lover of extreme sports, and at one point "the token black skater," I'm glad to see guys like Dixon and TK on the scene. I could have really looked up to guys like this ten years ago.

Chanel Fiole Design Concept

Consider it a testament to labelwhoredom, or simply a testament to design, but regardless of how you choose to look at it, the Chanel Fiole Design Concept is by far South Korean car designer, Jinyoung Jo's, testament to innovation and spaceship-like style. (via ViaComIT)
