Nike Women’s Court Force High :: blue/grey/white, black/grey/white/red, white/yellow/blue

If there’s one thing that rings in my ears (or rather, catches my eye), it’s the term “new colorway.”  Here, Nike presents three new Court Force High colorways just in time for the holiday season.  I can’t say that I can totally co-sign on all three colorways (pictured), but the blue on blue joints aren’t [...]

Jay-Z :: Blueprint 3 Tour dates & Empire State of Mind live at Yankees Parade

Can I get a loud as hell, “fuck yes” in unison, please?  My fabulous poplemons are aware of my deep love for Jay-Z, but a more little known fact is that I haven’t seen him live, ever.  He just so happens to be coming to my hometown next year.  Is he coming to yours, too?  [...]

Scratch :: The Ultimate Dj preview

Last week, Dj Hero dropped with disappointing sales… Scratch offers controllers designed by Numark, who was well known in the earlier days and quite possibly one of the forefathers of belt-driven turntables (do people still use those?). Scratch aims to offer a more authentic controller than it’s video game competitor, but also lacks the superstar [...]

Nike Women’s Vandal High :: Electrolime + White

Oh snap! Another addition to the 2009 Women’s Holiday Egypt Pack by Nike.  I’m loving the colorway & the nice metallic gold flashes.  I love a loud, obnoxious hi-top Vandal, something fierce.
