The Roast Of Steph Curry’s “Chef Curry” Lows

CkjPVOHXEAAP6FU.jpg-large

Steph Curry. The NBA’s man of the moment. The back-to-back MVP and soon to be back-to-back NBA Finals champion (come on now, we all know the Cavs aren’t coming back, as much as we may want them to) is by far the most popular basketball player in the world right now. He’s so popular that he even managed to make Under Armor relevant in the basketball world with his signature shoes, the Curry 1 and 2.  But even the great Steph Curry is not immune to the occasional brick, and he teamed with Under Armor to toss a resounding one recently, with the release of the “Chef Curry” Curry 2 Lows, pictured above. read more

The Case For The Jordan Pinnacle Line

air-jordan-1-pinnacle-1

The Jordan Pinnacle line. A point of contention among many sneakerheads. Some love the high-fashion twist and premium materials on their favorite Jordan models. Others think paying $400 retail for a Jordan shoe is outrageous, and that the high-fashion shoes should be left to high-fashion brands.

We’re of the first school of thought. We’re big supporters of the Jordan Pinnacle line. We think it’s a dope concept, and that putting a high-fashion twist on classic silhouettes is a great idea, and we’ve got a few reasons why, so pull up a chair and put your reading glasses on. read more

The Kith x colette Collab Is Way Too Lit

fabolous-kith-colette-6

Ronnie Fieg has done it again.

Nobody has a higher batting average when it comes to collabs than Ronnie and Kith, and they’re pushing their average even farther into the stratosphere with their recent collab with colette.

fabolous-kith-colette

What exactly is in the collection, you might ask? Two of Ronnie’s Puma favorites. A Disc Blaze (pictured above) and the Blaze Of Glory (notice a theme with the whole “blaze” thing here?). A set of matching summertime apparel (Kith box logo hoodies and tees, jackets, socks, hats…there’s a lot). And a dope portable Beats speaker, just to make sure the accessory side of things isn’t ignored. read more

Yeezy Season 2 Footwear: Our Thoughts

kanye-yeezy-season-2-boot-first-look-00

Yeezy Season is almost upon us.

We’ve gotten a break, gotten refreshed and rejuvenated, and gotten hit with a lot of heat releases from other brands, but that time’s coming up again. That time where the power of Kanye overshadows (for better or worse) everything else in the footwear world. June 6th is the date, and the boots you see above will be dropping, along with 4 different types of women’s heels.

Let’s start off with the boots. Last season’s 950 Boots were a success, as sneakerheads and fashionistas the world over took to the chunky, rugged silhouette. We’re of the opinion that Yeezy Season 2’s Military Crepe Boots (pictured above) will be just as big, if not a bigger success. Sure, the $645 retail price is steep, but has that ever stopped Kanye fans before? Plus, it’s a dope, slim, high-quality boot, with an all-suede upper and a crepe sole. It’s not as chunky as Yeezy Season 1’s boots, and is more acceptable for all-season wear. We’ve got a feeling these will be a massive hit. read more

It’s a big weekend for Jordan Brand. They’re dropping 4 (that’s right, 4) shoes…and they’re all bangers. From the re-issue of a classic to a shoe designed for one of the world’s best soccer players, there’s something for everyone…so we decided we’d put a little twist on our usual “Best Sneaker Releases This Weekend” piece, and simply do the best Jordan releases this weekend, as there’s certainly enough of them. Let’s get right to it. read more

What Is It About The Jordan XI?

Air-Jordan-XI-Space-Jam

Anyone who’s into sneakers (and even a lot of people who aren’t) know: the Jordan XI causes mass hysteria  every time it drops. From the summertime low-top releases, to the thirsted-after holiday release, XI’s cause sneakerheads, fashionistas, and Michael Jordan fans to lose their collective minds every time they drop.

I love Jordans, (I’s, III’s and IV’s especially), and I think the XI’s are dope, but I don’t love them as much as most people seem to. So I figured we’d take a journey together today. A journey in which we try to figure out why people love their XI’s so damn much. Let’s begin. read more

VLONE Is Poised To Break Out In A Major Way

playboi-carti-vlone-thug-wavy-wednesday-asap-mob-0

You’ve probably already seen the shirts. A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti (above), and Virgil Abloh have all sported them. You’ve heard the music, Carti’s “Vlone Thug”. You might be wondering what VLONE is all about, or you may know already. Regardless, you need to know one thing: VLONE is poised to break out in a major way this summer/fall.

VLONE-Presentation4

Don’t know much about the brand? Fear not, here’s a quick backstory. Started by A$AP Bari, a founding member of A$AP Mob, VLONE is a cult fashion brand that produces tees and hoodies. Although the classic VLONE graphic is the most recognizable (they’ve even collaborated with Off-White on a limited shirt), they also offer other graphics like their “Friends” logo tees. Originally, VLONE was only available through pop-up shops and Bari himself (if you were lucky), but now their online store is open, and the brand is available to the masses. read more

If you were at Soundset on Sunday, there’s a good chance you spent most of yesterday recovering. Kicking back and taking in everything you heard and experienced while you were at the State Fairgrounds, watching some of the best rappers in the world do their things. And if you’re like me, when you were done reminiscing on everything you’d seen, there was only one conclusion you could come to: It was lit. Super lit. 5-alarm fire lit. read more

Toasty Boys All Summer

PUSHA-T--e1449927445665

Sunday. You’re probably doing one of two things today, getting ready for Soundset (like us), or sitting back and relaxing, preparing for the week ahead. Whatever it is that you may be doing, we’d like to run something by you…something that just might totally switch up your whole summer style.

What if we told you that you didn’t have to wear shorts and white tees all summer? That you didn’t have to stuff your jeans and hoodies into the back of the closet until the weather started cooling down once again? That’s right. You can join the Toasty Boys. read more
