I never thought my first trip to the Apollo would be to see a British white chick sing, but hey, shit happens. Duffy was cool, but the real treat for me was just getting to check out the historic Apollo Theater (Thanks Straughn!).

Another treat was swinging by Atmos which was right down the block. [...]

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 [...]

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’. [...]

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 [...]

DUDE! Tuesday morning was so exciting!! 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 [...]

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 [...]

Obsessing over Nike is bad enough. Obsessing over the people that work on Nike ads is pathetic. Hypebeasting to the extreme. Please don’t take that the wrong way. I understand and respect that level of dedication. Honeyee, interviewed a handful of W+K’ers. This will prove to be completely irrelevant to [...]

Let me answer your first question. Yes, these are for sale. I will give them to you for half price - say $90, shipped I have had tons of Bapes over the years, in many shapes, styles, colors, and - ahem - even sizes, since Pondon’s 10.5s are typically way cheaper than 11s. I [...]

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 [...]
