Supra TK Society Fall/Winter 2009 | Black and Burgundy


The Supra TK Society sneaker is dropping for Fall/Winter 2009 in two new colorways. The high top sneaker comes in a black suede and a burgundy leather colorway. Overall we appreciate the subtle choice of color on this otherwise already attention seeking sneaker. CCS will be getting them in late October.

Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel


Did anyone notice that Mariah's latest album "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" hit stores yesterday? I didn't either! I really thought Mariah would give me a lot to go in on [especially after the hit and miss "E=MC2"], but after listening to it multiple times I have come to the conclusion that "Memoirs" is a SOLID album!
This album takes me back to when Mariah was the leading lady in R&B / Pop music. With production from Randy Jackson, The-Dream, and Tricky Stewart, Mariah gives us an updated version of her classic sound that we've been craving. I still won't say that I'm a fan of the lead single "Obsessed", but some of the other songs are definitely on their way to my Top 25 in iTunes. "Becha Gon Know" opens the record with sobering lyrics including "I can't believe you just actually did this shit to me /I'm going bout a hundred /Mascara runnin /Laughing out of anger /But it don't strike me as funny /Been too good to you /I've been virtuous and true /To have something like this /Happen in my own bedroom." Other songs worth putting on repeat are "Candy Bling", "Inseparable", and "The Impossible". This album definitely has potential to go straight to number one on the Billboard charts. Lets just hope that her label actually starts doing promo instead of relying on the ongoing beef with Eminem to keep Mariah in the lime light.

Nike x Cassette Playa Fear No Evil Apparel


Nike sportswear and British fashion label Cassette Playa have recently collaborated on both a dunk design and an apparel line. Currently available on Niketown.com are a varsity style bomber jacket and a t-shirt. Available in two colourways, the jacket is designed to shield you from the elements, but not your style. The jacket features a Fear No Evil screen-print on the sleeves and some strong new graphics based on familiar Cassette Playa themes on the front and back. The t-shirt (available in no less than three colourways) is somewhat complementary and again features the Fear No Evil slogan, this time on the back, with the front displaying a powerful print which is somewhat similar to the previous ‘emo-duck’ design. A nameless razor fusses. Follow the jump.

Reebok Fall/Winter 2009 Reverse Jam Mid


The Reebok Reverse Jam Mid comes for Fall/Winter 2009 in 4 new colorways. It comes with red and green tonal uppers with white soles and also in two darker colorways, probably more appropriate for Fall. Overall we can say that the design on these is subtle compared to what we usually see from Reebok and that is appreciated. The footwear is now available from Gettry.
