"She don't know the Casio cost a hundred"


Casio Baby G Watches have always been the shit! I was fiening one when I was a kid! I finally got one, only to have it stolen....
As you know I'm a lover of the sole of shoes especially a clear bottom. Well Casio have made the Resin Watch - like a clear sole on your wrist.
These watches are really back in fashion having teamed up with Bape a number of times as well as Stussy, Subcrew and United Arrows for its 25th Anniversary

Style Profile I - Reggie Yates











Reggie Yates aka No-Bizzi.
The triple threat, Actor, Presenter and DJ but above all style icon. Literally no one has swagger like Reggie. He always looks fresh clothes wise and has an endless amount of kicks.
You can catch him on his blog or on his BBC Radio Show with his sidekick Fearne Cotton.
Husband material......

Fashion Vs Sport




The ultimate swag.
I like the two combinations. To me fashion and sport interlink perfectly, they need eachother and we need them.
Exhibition at the V&A untill 4th January. Definately a must see.





Timepiece

See in the New Year on time and with style

Duffle Bag Boy !






Much needed apparel.
Christmas list.

SICK WITH IT ! ! !





When ever I buy or wear a new pair of kicks, I'm making a statement. Look at these!
JB Classics have pretty much designed the shoe for my egotistical needs then. The JB Classics Peddler "Sik Wit-It" trainer is a justification for why I buy the shoes I do.
They tell all you need to know.
Because the truth is - when it comes to the kick game...
I guess I am Sick With It!

Jammin Sessions....

...... to put into words what happens when i get together with my friends and we "jam" is impossible because i can't describe it, no words could ever justify what we do and how we feel when we play music back and forth - person to person with a new track or old track - i love those the best. everyone trying to top the last - all the time getting educated about the love of music.

this one is courtesy of ca$hless. (man we were so tempted to full on jam there and then)



FUNNIEST KID EVER ! ! !

After the day I've had - I needed something to make me laugh!


BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!!


LOOOOONG STORY - LOOOOOONG NIGHT - LOOOOONG DAY.
BIG THANK YOU'S

The Hundreds










There are a couple of good urban / retro / skater / hipster / stylish / simple - basically goood fashion clothing lines coming out right about now.
Watch out for Play Clothes by The Clipse. Pastelle Museum by Kanye West. Married to the Mob. Crooks and Castles and Terry Kennedy's clothes 0h and the Hundreds - featured above.
These right here are the Johnson Mid by The Hundreds. Im really digging all the colourways on these. They're different - smart but street. They remind me of the Alife joints but with a wallabe feel.
Oh yeah - they're on the Christmas list too.

Christmas List I


Tinker Hatfield's first pair of trainers for Nike. The ultimate performance trainer -Air Max 87. You can see the inspiration in all the Air Max 90's.
The first time they put a window in a trainer -genius!

Spiz'ike's



New colourways from the Nike Spiz'ike Campaign. I got them EARLY last year in black and red but the new colours dropping are definately worth the $.
Nike have called this particular coulourway Cactus but I prefer to call these the Halloween joints!
OH AND CHECK THE SOLE!!!!!!!!

FOOT- TO- WEAR!!!


Nike Dunk Vandall High.
Dropping in Summer 2009! (When I'm in America - perfect)
Not usually a fan of Vandalls but I must say its a good combination with the Nike Dunk plus the texture, the cushion type material they are using looks comfortable and dope. Hoping for more colourways but am content for now.

ART & SOLE






Art & Sole -- In recent years the sneaker scene has exploded with limited editions and artist/designer collaborations. These specialist shoes are invariably produced as short runs, using innovative or luxury materials and often have bespoke packaging. Art & Soul is the first book to focus exclusively on contemporary, cutting-edge sneaker design. It sets out to explore and to celebrate the creative side of sneaker culture, showing the best and most original rarities/collaborations and previewing the latest art and design. These are the shoes at the sharp end of sneaker culture—not shoes that can be found in your average sports store. The book also highlights how creative advances on-the-scene have been furthered by a growing number of artists who base their work on sneakers—from sculptures made from dissected shoes, to oil paintings on canvas, and even the customization of the shoes themselves. There is now a huge crossover between sneaker culture and the worlds of art and design.
London-based graphic design studio Intercity comprises Nick Foot, Nathan Gale, and Tu Hoang. Founded in 2004, the company has produced work for a variety of clients including 55dsl, Bush Records, Uniqlo, Five US, IDN, Carhartt, and Creative Review.


Definately on my Christmas wishlist!

Tinker Hatfield - Chief Nike Designer Aparrel and Footwear


T H is guy!

I found my idol (another one) Tinker Hatfield.

Design is always something crazy - but after seeing the clip below, it was all explained. It gave me hope and gave me inspiration that I will not only apply to my designs (yes) but everything I do.

Be inspired by the world around you - the people - the music - the food - the world!

Break it down to you, feed off it, thrive in it and build a new culture - your culture.



I actually met Tinker a couple years ago when Jordan came to London to promote the XXIII. I didn't possess a pair of Jordan's then so I gave him an Air Force One to sign. I now realise why I got the look I did - the shame!

KNOW YOUR ENEMY... OR FRIEND?

In a recent interview Kanye West said that Rihanna made Beyonce step her game up. Rightly so - the introduction of competition makes you perform better and want to be better.
