KOBE BRYANT "THE BLACK MAMBA" FILM

Following several previews (which i did not post), NIKE Basketball releases the full version of “The Black Mamba,” a short film by Robert Rodriguez starring Kobe Bryant, Bruce Willis, Danny Trejo and Kanye West. Intriguing, well-produced, the film makes for another solid effort from the sportswear brand. Kanye is so funny as "The Boss" yelling 'n shit I guess he's being himself. Damn Bruce Willis is getting old. Robert Rodriguez & Danny Trejo are blood brothers, like Robert promised Danny that he'll feature him in all of his movies, small or big role doesn't matter. Anyway, enjoy!

adidas O by O KAZUKI KURAISHI ZXZ "IAN BROWN"

Paying homage to English musician Ian Brown, Kazuki Kuraishi develops this simple black/gold colorway of the ZXZ for Spring/Summer 2011, part of the designer’s continued adidas Originals by Originals line.

STASH X SEBAGO 2011

Legendary NYC street artist STASH collaborates with Sebato for a full range. Working with his signature palette of grey and blue hues along with urban camo, Stash develops a solid range of low tops and mids for his upcoming fall/winter season.

THE HUNDREDS x SCOTT CAAN

L.A.'s The Hundreds hook up with actor Scott Caan (his dad is James Caan, dude from Las Vegas TV series). This tee has some hints of Yonehara but I like it anyway.

KAWS x MILO

A new collaboration from KAWS & A Bathing Ape's MILO, the disected companion. I WANT ONE!!

BANKSY IN HOLLYWOOD

The street artist everyone's come to admire, love, bite, hate, copy & all that crap , Banksy spotted around Hollywood, CA.

CONVERSE x COMME DES GARSONS PLAY JACK PURCEL

Converse collaborate again with CDG Play this time for the Jack Purcel.

NIKE SPORTSWEAR x ?UESTLOVE DUNK HI COLLECTION

Not the first time these two have worked together. This latest project consists of two very contemporary interpretations of the Nike Dunk Hi. The first is a notable design with this Dunk Hi Strap, a tonal red piece highlighted by the leather strap covering the laces while the shoe maintains its original mould. In addition the Dunk Hi BZ is a yellow piece that is a minimal design that features the signature ‘Questlove’ logo embossed on the heel.

SWATCH x JEREMY SCOTT COLLECTION

Swatch have teamed up with eccentric designer Jeremy Scott to produced a collection of watches. Many of us are familiar with the JS wings previously seen on the adidas O by O collection. Three desgins make up the collection, "Wings", "Lightning Flash" & "Opulence".

NIKE ALL COURT MID CANVAS TZ

We saw the All Court Mid as part of a Stussy collaboration last year, Nike have brought the simple classic back again, this time as a Tier Zero release in Black and White colourways and most notably a lack of Swoosh. Both colourways are set for a March 1st release at Tier Zero Nike stockists around the globe.

SIXPACK FRANCE

The SixPack France collection features spectacular button-ups, tee-shirts, pants, shorts, and other outer wear. The comfort and casualness of the line cause it to stand out which make for an overall great collection.

HOLGA DIGITAL

Holga D is a digital camera inspired from the extremely popular Lomo Holga. Even though it's a digital camera, it retain the qualities & simplicity of the original Holga & brings back the delayed gratification associated with good old analog photography.

CHRISTOPHER MINTZ PLASSE x NYLON TV

The famous "fake" McLovin drivers license from SuperBad

Christopher Mintz Plasse got (plenty of) style & jokes!
