Jordan (Olympia)

Normally I'm 100% against "non-Air Jordan" Jordans, mainly for the lack of quality and technology utilized, but this time the Jumpman Folks really went all out for the Olympics and dropped (in my opinion) the hottest Jordan since the XVIII's. Containing obvious inspiration from the X's, the Jordan Olympia (the name of the shoe will have to change for the fact that adidas spent upwards of $100 million to buy the rights to be the exclusive sponsor of the '08 games) will be worn by Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony when they play in Beijing, and will release in various colorways. For the first time in years, Jordan Brand actually decided to use Zoom air on a non-Air Jordan shoe, aside from what looks to be an awesome speed lacing system, the Jordan Olympia doesn't scream tech' like the Hyperdunks, but the magnificent design will definitely earn these a spot in mine (and many others') collections.

Air In The Making

Although the official word from Nike is that the Air Yeezy's are just a sample made only in Mr. West's size 12, and are not due to release in the near future, 90% of the hype faithful out there waiting on the shoe could really care less and will continue to hold onto their hope of riding the fashion tsunami known as Kan' the Louis Vuitton Don until they can find their own niche, which isn't a shame or a sin, per se. So whether you're patiently holding on to your $200 (with the ridiculously high quality amount of full grain leather, patent leather, and suede used on the shoe, not to mention Mr. West trademark for high-end fashion, you'd be stupid not to expect at least Air Jordan dolllars), or just wondering what the hype is about, G-L-I has you covered on the latest developments of the Air Yeezy. Above are pictures of Nike Exec Mark Parker (the guy that introduced the Hyperdunks with Kobe at the Portland Nike press conference, check back a couple weeks ago) and Kanye on the plane brain storming with the blueprints.

MJ: "Kobe VS Me in my prime? Not even a contest."

MJ recently held another camp where he answered questions to a packed gym and played plenty of one on one, KILLING who ever got in his way (including some emphatic dunks), check the last guy he plays where Money drops one of his favorite quotes: "You reach, I teach", then dunks on him.

Beats By Dr. Dre

I have to admit I really like how these look, as a collaboration between mega-platinum producer/rapper Dr. Dre and Monster Cables, "Beats By Dr. Dre" is a high end headphone developed "specifically for Hip-Hop music", with similar noise-canceling technology as the ever so hyped Bose Quiet Comfort 3, which sends out "anti-noise"(sound waves at the general frequencies of ambient noise) to "cancel" surrounding noises. "Beats" are terrific in both aesthetic and performance value, with its sleek black surface and terrific base, Hip-Hop fans should think twice before investing $400 on the QC3's, "Beats" is also iPhone compatible, including a microphone for phone conversations, and call/text alert sounds that stop music playback when the phone is occupied. After much research and testing, the QC3 and QC2, are simply too good to pass up at the same price, but for some Hip-Hop specific users, "Beats by Dr. Dre" is definitely something to consider.

P.S. Here's Game's new video featuring Travis Barker, repping Dre with the headphones.

Eva Mendes Lingerie Campaign, Calvin Klein Has Done It Again!

When it comes to breaking grounds in retail advertisement, marketing giants Calvin Klein simply has no equal, for their new seductive lingerie line (I think), CK has wisely employed none other than racially ambiguous (she's Cuban, but along with Cassie, Amerie, J. Lo, etc likeable regardless of your race, just your sexual inclination) Model/Actress Eva Medes, although Eva is about 10 pounds too thin in my opinion (no to mentioned over airbrushed in the photos). This ad campaign is a hit. I'm gonna be cheap and call it this week's eye candy, so fella's are gonna have to wait 'til next week. 

P.S. Here's some blast from the past, CK's Marky Mark + Pre-cracked-out Kate Moss= $$ Ad Campaign

P.P.S.: Yes It's the same Mark Wahlberg from Shooter, Invincible, The Departed, and The Italian Job. If you're too green and don't know of his rapping days, his brother is also Donnie Wahlberg from OG boy band New Kids On The Block (who should really re-think their come-back strategies).

I Know We All Have Cargo Shorts...but Shoes?!

Let's just say we're not gonna be getting these shoes for its ground breaking innovative practicality with the addition of these single button pockets, but it's definitely a fresh idea that's bound to turn heads. Soon to be released with a suggested retail price of $80- $90 USD at your local Vans retailer.

Just when we thought the women's game was really gonna take off on the back of Candace Parker, this has to happen, where else but good ol' Motor City right? Rick Mahorn, former "bad boy" still seems to believe he can pummel people like they're Michael Jordan going to the basket, well Lisa Leslie sure dosen't remind anyone of MJ, but Rick still managed to run the legend (not to mention a gentle lady) over without a second thought, go home and think it through Rick....then hand in your resignation. 

P.S. : Cheryl Ford, Karl Malone's daughter, basically initiated everything by swinging elbows and smacking every rib cage she can just like her old man, now everybody already hates you, Karl, so maybe teaching your daughter to handle herself better than yourself ought to be a good plan, but I guess between tippin' cows and spittin' game on Kobe's wife he just didn't have time.

Still The L.V.D

Kanye West showing off his custom made extra large Louis Vuitton backpack, which apparently took almost 2 years to make, being the only one made in the world, the bag is of course, not for sale.

Brand Power: Gourmet

I'm sure you've stumbled onto Gourmet's on whatever store/website/forum and had to do a double take, aside from the obvious Air Jordan Inspirations, Gourmet is eye catching because of the most original trait in fashion, simplicity. The folks at Gourmet have been having much success with their shoe line because they keep the design simple, and yet they seem to beam luxury, at prices just over $100, I'd much rather pick up a pair of these than another pair of AF1's, check these out at your local streetwear boutique or PickYourShoes.com.

Stussy is Fire

Just thought I'd point that out, Stussy's been bringin' it for 25 years now and here's some of their 2008 collections.
