Another Nigo Video!


I found this on YouTube today.Sorry but it's in Japanese.

Old but good.

So many Vans so little time....






Via Hypebeast.Vans’ 2010 spring roster looks to feature a new series of bangers with this look here. With the likes of the Era and SK8-HI being flipped so many times, materials come into the equation more than ever with some quality suedes. Going down the line we’re also met with some multi-material uppers in tonal colors. Rounding things out are a collaboration with Acapulco Gold as well as Crooks & Castles.

"The materials and the collab's are the best part. Can't wait for them to drop next year."-Darnell L

HOODS




With the previous home of HOODS Hong Kong already in the midst of a huge facelift on On Lan Street in Hong Kong’s Central district, HOODS Hong Kong has since re-located to an all new store front. While the previous HOODS Hong Kong had its own character, the new store is decidedly more shopper friendly with an expansive and wide-open lay-out which doesn’t require the tedious stair climbs of the old store. The space is currently open for business selling its usual array of NEIGHBORHOOD and WTAPS, details of the location can be seen below. Joining HOODS Hong Kong at its present area will be the likes of COMME des GARCONS among other high-fashion retailers in the near future.

Reminds me of "When Doves Cry"





via Hypebeast. daraGOY – Russian for “expensive” – aims to maintain a very exclusive line of hand painted unisex tee shirts. As the name of the brand suggests all items are created from hand-cut stencils, original designs and fabric paints. Inspiration for the exclusive collection is rooted in the Russian pop culture, traditional emblems and female icons of the Western World. Thereby, an impressive blend of modern multicultural influences emerges that results in an unique language that will definitely draw supporters in the near future. daraGOY is solely avaible through special order and sold in the Rogan Store on Bowery, NYC.

Fly Kid Alert!!!!!!!!!!!





I know it has been about a year since I have done a Fly Kid alert but it's back for 2010. The Cool Kids some of you have heard of them. If you haven't let me give you a quick run through. They dropped an under the radar mixtape called "That's Stupid" in 2007.They really burst onto the seen with their song "Black Mags" and then dropped their EP "The Bake Sale" in 2008. Most recently they have release a mixtape with DJ Don Cannon called "Gone Fishing". Their style is kinda retro and kinda new age. The are MOST DEFINATELY HIP HOP. BIG UPs to the Cool Kids.

Spyker




If you've seen the movie War with Jet Li and Jason Statham then you have seen this before. If you haven't let me introduce it to you. The Spyker C8 Spyder has 400 hourses under the hood and a top speed of 187 MPH. This car is more rare than a Lamborghini. If you want to turn heads pull up in this right here.
