Eye of a Tiger no Im never Lion



In the wake of the hype concerning the Year of the Tiger Cortez, Nike will be releasing another make-up for this Chinese New Year. The Year of the Tiger Blazer Low is lent a heavy dose of blue-a different color-up from that of the Cortez. In addition to the blue leather is a tiger stripe motif on the rand that encircles the shoe just above the midsole. This ornament is repeated on the laces

ACNE









Scandinavian label Acne recently previewed their Fall/Winter Collection for this year. The line was inspired by Amelia Earhart, the famed aviatrix who was the first female to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross, awarded for becoming the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Working in appropriately cold colors, the collection includes not only bomber jackets (an obvious choice for any aviator-inspired collection), but full outfits. The styling is subtle, with most garments designed for a snug fit.

$.\/\/.@.Y Fam




Alright everyone these are my three homies at skool that I kick it with there are a couple more who are on here yet but eventually will be, anyway this is the SWAY Family, its more like a brother hood. Not a Cliq or CLick or any thing of that sort. We are 4 homies who happen to meet each other and keep it real kinda like Entourage and we all dont even hang out all the time like that Im usually over at Brandons and Dev's doing accounting playing Wii and I see Tarek every now and then because his a busy man always on the go. I can say about these three dudes is that they keep it REAL as much as possible especially my man Tarek. We all sumtimes go on midnight runs to Taco Bell or to KD's house. Anyway these are the homies, shout out to SWAY ALL DAY

REAL

In College and being out in the world there are alot of people who are still hesitant to always tell the truth so they dont. Alot of people feel that its not nice to be completely REAL and I begg to differ I feel like there is always a way to be as REAL as possible you just have to go about doing it. I feel like alot of people dont understand becuase I am real. I mean dont get me wrong being real can come off ass a jerk or arrogant or ignorant but there is always a way of doing it. I try hard to teach those around me by being an example. If I just talked about anyone in a negative way I will let them know myself. I feel its the only way for people to understand what being REAL is. So on that note I am going to continue to do what I do, but people if you are reading this post just be honest and not lie or talk behind peoples backs and dont try and hang out with the "popular kids" to feel kool. Just be yourself. Its REAL.

Taken it Slow...


...Is what Im doing right now. My friends are always telling me Im gonna be great I just have to be patient until my success is coming. I have known that since I found out who I was int his world. The team and I have a long long long journey ahead of us, and step by step we will get to where need to get to. A wise man once said Patience is a Virtue. I am being patient lettin the lord work out the kinks and nicks in the hairline of life. If I am rushin evrything I will continually be depressed. People around me are like starting to become successful and get their projects moving and what not and Im like man, I gotta hurry. But now I realize its all in good timing. I guess the ones who become far greater have to wait and learn more before they back flip into the end. So I am gonna take it slow like DJ Screw music in H-Town. Who knows The man upstairs may have me be greater than what I even expect.

You would think they would put these cars on the streets instead of wasting money on concept cars.
Dope tho.




Ladies in the Jacobs


One of my favorite fashion influences, American sportswear, is about to go into high gear for spring 2010, and that fact makes me so happy I could cry. This Marc by Marc Jacobs hooded terry jumpsuit pretty much epitomizes the trend. What could be more perfect for travel and casual hanging out? Nada I tell you!

Stoners



Stone Island Shadow began as a discourse between sportswear company owner and creative director Carlo Rivetti and the design team of Michaela Sachenbacher and Errolson Hugh, also known as Acronym. A platform for exploration, the shadow project rapidly evolved into a system based program for a new generation of urban masculine apparel. With both Stone Island’s incredible historical archive, and its unparalleled forward development resources as a starting point, Acronym sought to conceive a project according to their strong technical and performance based roots. The result is a unique and unprecedented fusion. A fresh and intelligent new light cast upon the timeless interplay of form and function. Calling the project Shadow underlines the intimate relationship and interaction between this work and the full body of the Stone Island Collection.
Buoyed by the ongoing research and development of it’s four previous seasons, the fifth Stone Island Shadow capsule resurfaces with newfound richness and character. Holistic and truly contemporary, the collection continues its investigation of identity, use, and systems through the marriage of new aesthetics and proven technologies. A nimble and worldworthy ship whose port of call could only be the harbor of futurity that is Stone Island. Through the use of compound treatments and multiple effects, fabrics and garments are invested with uncommon dimensionality and sophistication. Surface becomes depth as the senses perceive treatment upon treatment and effect upon effect. Patterns map dynamics, treatments reveal structures, and colors deepen contrasts in a way that both obfuscates and rewards. The strength of stone island shadow is its ability to thrive at all points possible, and its resistance to being pinned down at all.
