CRAZY store



Offering merchandise that doubles as art, RSVP serves as a luxury boutique/art gallery that displays and sells pop art and design from around the world. Short for “Répondez s’il vous plaît” or please respond, the store’s name is an invitation for guests to not only visit the space, but participate, get inspired, and respond.

Bars of green neon line RSVP’s black painted ceiling while exposed brick walls display giant neon art pieces commissioned by RSVP – all channeling the store’s design concept of pairing pop art with luxury. Using minimalism and raw space, RSVP takes the look of a pop art gallery, with its merchandise as the featured pieces.

The RSVP decor is taken from The RSVP Private Collection of works from artists including Mark Newson, Stephen Sprouse, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, Kaws and NoPattern. RSVP offers pieces from premium brands including Kaikai Kiki, Ambush, Dee & Ricky, Super, PLAY Comme des Garcons, Rizzoli, Original Fake, G-Shock, Incase and Boxed Water. RSVP also has a selection of rare, original, vintage items from Louis Vuitton, Chanel, A Bathing Ape, Nike and Levi Strauss & Co.

New Kicks




Following up on a slew of clean vintage Tennis silhouettes released throughout 2009, Nike put together this new colorway for spring 2010. Sticking with the tennis classic pearl white leather upper, Nike goes very Stan Smith on us with lucky green accents and a perforated swoosh. We’re not mad at it.. besides the two-tone laces.

The Hundreds Fall 2009 Footware Collection





This week The Hundreds will be releasing their Fall 2009 Footware Collection. Three styles will be coming to stores in several colorways and material options.
First up, there’s their core sneaker, the Johnson Mid-top – now in it’s fourth release. This season’s version of the mid features perforated leather fabrication, with contrasting white and red accents for a splash of color. They are coming in 4 colorways this season. In addition to the mids, there is the third installment of the Johnson Low-tops, which are back in a classic canvas fabrication, and are also available in four new tonal color combinations. Last but not least, they have three new colors of the Valenzuela Low-top, their updated interpretation of the classic skate shoe, constructed with traditional canvas, with the addition of subtle leather trim for a touch of class.

WHY DID I JUST FIND THIS NOW!



In conjunction with one of Nike Basketball’s marquee performance models the Hyperize, Nike Basketball release the following spoof music video. Featuring the Hyperizers comprised of “Fog Raw” (aka Mo Williams), “Ice-O” (Rashard Lewis), “Chief Blocka” (Andre Iguodala) and “Velvet Hoop” (Kevin Durant), the Don’t Criticize (Hyperize) track is yet another smart promotional piece from the folks at Nike.

Hilarious, I'm loving it haha but the kicks are still fresh too!

Mark Gonzales x adidas Nizza Hi

Mark Gonzales revamps the throwback Nizza Hi, first introduced in the 70’s. The tough white canvas upper and embroidered tongue patch are detailed sparingly with The Gonz’ now iconic artwork. The three blue stripes offset an otherwise all-white sneaker. Vulcanized gum rubber outsole. Good for skating or just posting up.

Crazy throwback to the 70's pretty fresh sneakers

BANGER



It's fire, thats all I can say I think

CRAZY SHIT!


This handmade clock, called the QLOCKTWO, draws inspiration from crossword puzzles and replaces the relatively complex numbers and hands with words and spells the time on the colored surface. Thats right the clock SPELLS THE TIME! It goes in 5 minutues intervals, and comes in like 20 different colours that are all nuts too. Does anyone else thing this is one of the freshest things ever made?

Scenelisting for "Man on the Moon: the End of Day"



This is a few days old, but for those who haven't seen it yet, I hope this made you as anxious to hear the album as it made me. Cudi's really doing something different here, and it's just exciting to see this sort of idea paired with his talent. Not only am I expecting big things from the CD, the artwork from the CD cover is going to be ridiculous too. I'll be copping this CD the day it comes out, and I haven't bought a physical CD (I prefer iTunes) in probably 3 years.

Band of Outsiders Fall/Winter 2009 Collection



As fresh as it gets.

Ridiculous Kicks

We get another look at the upcoming Nike Sportswear collaboration with Hiroshi Fujiwara’s fragment Design. This time they worked on the All Court Premium Leather. It comes in black and white premium leathers with an embossed Swoosh and fragment logo placement on the heel. The sneakers will be released in Japan tomorrow, August 22nd


Lacoste presents their upcoming Space Pack. The pack consists of three sneakers – Missisippi, Revan and Esteban. The sneakers have all been inspired by cosmonauts, space rockets and other elements from space. So far there is no word on the release date, but we will keep you posted.
Some very nice kicks today, the grey and black lacoste ones look pretty fly

Kicks

With a clear aesthetic similarity to the collaborative A.P.C. and fragment design All-Courts, the simple Nike Court Low is a fair alternative for those unable to secure a pair of the more limited releases. If you prefer canvas to leather, you’re set, as this particular release is done up with a simple tan canvas upper and tonal suede swoosh. The muted court-shoe receives a touch of color via a deep red foxing stripe through the midsole. Now available at select Nike dealers
As one of the very first Jordan Brand hybrids, the initial launch of the Air Jordan Spiz’ike led to some mixed feelings from both sneaker fans and Jordan enthusiasts as like. However as hybrids become fully integrated into the realm of sneakers, shoes like the Spiz’ike have inevitably gained acceptance. Upcoming is the release of a classic black/red colorway of the Spiz’ike as previewed here. Set for an early 2010 launch.

Decent Kicks.

Nike SB

The first September footwear releases from Nike SB have begun to trickle into stores. The latest drop consists of solid new colorways in each of the Dunk Hi, Blazer Hi, and Stefan Janoski pro-model. I really like the dark red low tops though. The stitched swoosh outline on the grey suede Blazer is also a welcome change.

And these are the new Bathing Ape Bape sta 88 Rainbow, they look pretty fresh I just figured I'd put them on here because they're out today, I could never pull them off though.


DOPEE (Rocksmith 2009 Lookbook)



This is Rocksmiths lookbook showcasing select items from the Rocksmith Fall 2009 collection. This season’s line draws inspiration from the mood, primary color tones and experimental nature of Brooklyn in the 1990s, and you can tell how heavily this line is influenced by older-school Brooklyn style. The video takes place in Brooklyn itself, and Brooklyns own Golden Gloves Champ William Shamar Whitt does his thing in the vid too. The soundtrack is produced by Brooklyn native and legendary producer Tumblin’ Dice. The clothes are ridiculous though, a few sweaters I could do without but still sick nonetheless.

I wish!

Louis V Monogram Revelation Bag from their Fall/Winter accessories, just ridiculously fresh, and around 4 grand a pop.

Yves Saint Laurent 2010 Spring/Summer short vid



Kinda different vid, but I like it. The video is directed by Samuel Benchetrit and the young boy in the video is Benchetrit's 11 year old son, which I find pretty impressive. The video is pretty fresh though the little kids clothes are sick, and his acting is crazy

Bow Wow to Cash Money Records! (?)



Sunday night, Bow Wow announced "It's official, I'm a Cash Money Millionaire", on Ustream and Twitter. The rapper had parted ways with his longtime label, Columbia Records, earlier this year. In previous Tweets, he explained he was deciding between two recording options: T.I.'s Grand Hustle camp through Atlantic Records or relaunching So So Def when Jermaine Dupri signed a new deal. In the end, a third option, Cash Money Records, came up. The rapper said he'll be releasing the Greenlight mixtape, followed by a single in late November and a new album set for release by the end of the year. I say congrants to Bow Wow, lucky him! Is it just me or when you think of Cash Money Records and the talent of everyone on that label, Bow Wow doesn't seem like a suitable addition even. I have a hard time associating Bow Wow with Cash Money in any way, but I guess we'll see how this mixtape goes and maybe he'll prove me wrong."Greenlight" with DJ Ill Will & DJ Rockstar is dropping next monday and will be right here on the L.
