HAFJSHJASHDJAHSD Nike is bossy and in charge, that is all that matters.

In about two months urrbody will be heading off to school, unless they are old and decrepit, and urrbody is gonna need some new supplies to take wonderful notes and make use of their education. So Nike has decided to help out a bit and put some school supplies you can snatch up to be prepared for a full year of learnin'!

First of all, you'll be needing a notebook to put your scribblings in. Nike has you covered!

But wait! You'll be needing something to write with too or that notebook is totally useless. Why not get some crayons?


And then you can get some elmer's glue I guess. You really don't need it but uh, yeah why not (PS I don't think much of these).


So yeah! Don't forget to pick these up when you're shopping for binders and bookbags and all.

Surface 2 Air

Surface 2 Air is a French brand that makes some pretty kickass stuff. They aren't easy to find in 'Murrika but if you've got the inside scoop, you can find em. Also, they're real expensive. I tried on a leather trench coat by them once. It was pretty cool (except these two little rings on the back, that was annoying but I guess I could have dealt with them) but it was $500. BAD

Anyway
They came out with a pair of slip-ons that are way too rude, but also way too pricey.

tooooo muuuuuch for meeeeee

I'll probably end up getting some all white vans and trying this out on my own.

This is How We Roll>>Vans

Recently Jeremiah "Jam" Brooks, a professional skater, was put in the hospital after being hit by a jeep on the side of a highway while on tour. To help pay for his bills and for his recovery, several artist/skaters within the pro skating community put together a fundraiser. They've all custom painted a pair of Vans Skate His to be put up for auction, and also have made other pieces of art to be displayed at a benefit in Boulder, Colorado.

There are some pretty cool ones, though some of the styles aren't really my type of thing. My favorites are the Louis Schmidts, Hoshi Ludwigs and the Brian Balls. Unfortunately, they're all size 9 and are probably going to blow up in price seeing as the bids are lasting for another three days or so (longer for some). However, that being said, I'd probably spring for shoes that say "Puke Blood Forever".

Jazon Markk>>Clean your sneaks

I've been wanting to clean my red/white AF1s for a while now. They're kinda grody after one huge day/night/day in the city with my sister and the red is kinda bleeding into the white which looks bad. The only thing is though, soap doesn't really do the job at all.

So here's the solution: Jason Markk Premium Sneaker Solution Set.

It's a sneaker cleaning kit that includes the cleaning agent and the brush for cleaning your sneakers. It's safe for all materials as well, which means that I can use em on my Mych Thomps as well, which is very good because right now I'm afraid to rock them in case they get dirty.

Supreme

Supreme makes some kickass stuff on their own, but I think some of their best stuff are their collaborations. Recently they've made a few collaborations, one of them with The North Face. The North Face have their own Purple Label, but unfortunately that's only available in Japan. The collaboration is a shell jacket that doesn't have a very flashy exterior, but the best parts are in the details.


LEOPARD LINING
The right sleeve also has SUPREME in big letters on it, and a patch to balance on the other side.

The next collaboration that caught my eye was the Oakley collab.

I think I'm gonna pick a pair up this summer.

And finally, SHOES. Vans x Supreme.



This last shoe really caught my eye. In fact, that whole last grouping is kickass. Just look at the detail on the rubber sole. DETAIL.

Nike Redwood>>Limited Edition

This is the best email I've ever gotten from Nike. Every other one has always been "New training shirts!" or "Golf apparel!", but now they've finally hit on what makes me tick: SHOES.

Nike sent me (yeah me. I'm on their supermegaelite VIP mailing list) an email advertising their new limited edition Redwood Pack which includes a shirt (not bad all-over print), a hat (not bad, matches the shirt), and a pair of shoes (CHUNK McGRUNK). The shoes are called the Redwood Insurgent, and they cost a cool $100. Not bad for a pair of fresh nikes.

And they are most definitely fresh.

The color scheme is supreme and the bamboo texture is way too hot. The thick, rounded laces fit the theme nicely as well, and set these shoes apart from other shoes. The mixture of textures makes the shoe stand out as well. Pretty much everything about these shoes is great.

MSTFKRFT

These guys are pushing all the right buttons. First of all, Jesse Keeler, one of the two guys who make up the band, is from Death From Above 1979. Second, they make kickass music, both original and remixes. And now they have shooooooooooooes. Three for three!





Check the gold lining
Check the orange soles
GOOD

While we're on the topic of shoes, I wanna talk about Bape for a moment.
Bape is ridiculous.
First of all, they copied the Air Force Ones for their "bapestas", then copied another Nike shoe for their "roadstas", and now to prove that they have no original ideas about shoe design other than bright colors and shiny patent leather, they've gone ahead and started calling converses "apestas".



DISAPPOINTING

Bonnie and...

Let me introduce you to a good friend of mine. Well, actually he's not really a friend, he's more of an acquaintance. Alright, he's not even that; I've never met the dude. But I've read a lot about him and seen a ton of pictures of him so I really feel as if we have a personal connection. His name is Clyde, and he is a shoe.

A little while ago, Clyde met up with a couple of guys who call themselves "Crooked", and they helped him pick out a few new threads to wear. They decided he was to be as money as possible, and stuck some green on him. But this wasn't enough; he also needed the phattest of laces, and by phattest I mean fattest. The result was an outfit that blew my mind. The fat laces, the color combination, the contrast stitching, all of this came together to make an irresistible pair of sneakers.





Recently, Clyde had a reunion with Crooked and decided that this time, his attire would be a little less conspicuous, but just as phat. Crooked gave him the same laces as before, but decked him out in warmer colors. The result was much different from before, but just kickin'.




Unfortunately, Clyde got mixed up with a girl named Bonnie, and things didn't end well for them. They started robbing banks shooting up stores, and eventually were gunned down, bags of loot in each hand. The following shoes were made in memory of Clyde and his crazy ho, Bonnie.

I gotta run soon but I gotta get this up so I'll make this a quickie:
