Rappers and Scarves - The Tipping Point

Did anyone else notice how hip-hop artists decided to take the words ‘Protect Ya Neck’ quite literally this cold weather season. This year, it was the style icon / mogul-status types that spent a few extra hundred on the luxe scarves instead of that extra pair of bullshit general release Air Force Ones. [...]

George Michael - Allover Print Pioneer (and Extras Cameo)

My old friends know that strange importance that George Michael plays in my life. Yeah, I know, cheesy. But at least I admit it. I could (and eventually will) go on about his continued influence on pop culture and eventual rise back to glory, but in the mean time, check out [...]

If I would have kept my Millenium Mullet…

I could have pulled off this fabulous haircut!

How to Pronounce Comme des Garçons

Agenda, Inc. has scored another superb find, especially for all of you streetwear kids looking to make the luxury crossover in 2008. In a bizarre, yet totally appropriate use of YouTube, the IMHC, a hotel management school, is using small video files posted online to help their students ’say it right’.  [...]

Kanye West - Grammy Nikes

Close up:

Although the details are still a little unclear at press time, Kanye’s Grammy appearance in a pair of slick black Nikes did exactly what was intended: stir up some serious internet buzz. Even Hypebeast was asking readers for help. After reading a number of blog posts with totally unconfirmed [...]

Visvim - Folk

I come from a long line of shoe people. My grandfather was in the shoe business for 50 years, my parents have both been in the shoe business for their entire lives. They live it, breathe it, and understand it incredibly well. I totally blame them for my obsession. Apparently [...]

During my morning walk on the tiny block between my subway stop and Starbucks, I saw two of Soho’s three most prominent bloggers (well, at least the ones I read). First, I see Phillip from BBC walking his dog - ok, its not confirmed that he actually maintains [...]

Road Tested - Reebok Pump Omni Lite

The black/white shoe obsession continues. This time I had to pick up a classic from the past, but one that appealed to my new (or should I say ‘current’ sensibilities. This is the Reebok Pump Omni Lite. These bulky bitches are ultra-comfortable, wide as hell, look oh so nice, and have actually helped curb a [...]

Road Tested: Clae Russell

Sung Choi is my new hero. He somehow resurrected Clae and in the process hit me with one of the most pleasant surprises from a sneaker company in a long time. Perhaps I set my expectations too low? Actually, I did not have much in the way of expectations, but from the second I [...]

2008 Gumball 3000 - Announcement

Maximillion Cooper, the Man.
For Gumball Fans… I have posted the announcement for the 2008 Gumball. Super, ultra-exclusive this year and considerably more expensive this time out. Not that cost is an issue for any of the entrants. About 5 years ago, a friend and I had the chance to be [...]
