Nike Lunar Woven Chukka s/s '11

For the Spring, Nike will be donning us with more woven goodness as they're releasing two pairs of über minimal Lunar Woven Chukkas...







I'm still grieving over the fact that they didn't have my size last year when the ridiculously sexy multi-check Woven Chukkas came out, so even though these lack the amazing colors, they still tickle my fancy.

Coming in both grey and all white, look for them soon, and as per usually with shoes of this sort, they primarily drop in Asia so keep a keen eye if you're elsewhere.

Simply Complicated - Spring '11 Tees

Been a minute since we've had some new stuff from Simply Complicated on here, but now with a Spring release we get some new graphic tees from SC...





The SC logo tee is always a winner, I'm SURE the Dilla tee is the most popular of the season (so clean), and the phone tee is already being worn by the trillest, like Bun B. All of the tees come in alternate colorway which you can check and buy straight from their online shop.

'Window World' by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel | Video

Karl Lagerfeld recently released this "short film" (aka video lookbook) that shows off the new season of Chanel and presents a super minimal feel with some great ambient music to accompany...



Karl Lagerfeld is one of those creatives that you either consider a genius or you just don't see the big deal... and well I think the man is pretty brilliant. This reminds me of the video he did for s/s 2010 which I was obsessed with for the simplicity as well.

Nike Footscape '3HC'

Nike is FINALLY dropping a couple Footscapes that don't have those horrid Flywire streaks running through them. Check out these new Air Footscape Woven Chukkas that are being dubbed 3HC...










Although Footscapes are generally regarded as a casual shoe, the sporty silhouette allows Nike to always fuck around and integrate their latest technologies, which is what makes the Footscape such a hit or miss shoe. These 3HC pairs are a total hit though. Using a simple yet über light neoprene upper, along with a Freemotion sole, these probably pack more comfort than the normal Footscape already does.

As always Footscapes are pretty hard to find outside of Japan so keep your eyes peeled for these to drop soon.

Bape Baby Milo 'Twitter' Tees

Bape has some new Baby Milo tees hitting stores that strongly hint at Twitter, and giving the well known blue Twitter bird the iconic Baby Milo/ Sanrio cartoon treatment...






Really wish the back of the tee said 'follow @BAPEOFFICIAL' or something to give it the extra comedy factor, but that might help out Twitter's case too much if they ever found out about this shirt and weren't too happy.

Releasing this week at Bape stores worldwide as well as Bape.com.

Letters to an Absent Father by Ash Ketchum

Just the other day I tweeted about the constant lack of a father in the world of Pokémon, and while some interesting (smh) theories arose, the discussion was short lived. Well cartoonist Maré Odomo took it a few steps further and created an entire comic strip called 'Letters to an Absent Father', which deals with the trials and tribulations of Ash's slightly emo take on life without a dad...












You laugh a little, you die a little, but you also think a little deeper about not only Ash's life but a little about your own. I love the unnecessarily heavy subject matter contained in these strips, which beyond the humor is what makes them so special and unique. And the artist draws some of these scenarios from his own upbringing and thoughts, which is probably why they seem so real.

Aside from this strip, Maré has some other really cool illustrations and comics that you can check out on his site, as well as a store where you can buy physical copies of some of his work, such as Letters to an Absent Father.

Super s/s 2011 Core Collection

Super hits us with their upcoming Sprng/Summer 2011 line, and with great breadth is able to offer something for everyone...







From the colorful frames and unique styles to the simple silhouettes, Super has got it all covered this season. Personally I still think the simple shapes and patterns, like tortoise shell, are the cleanest and what make Super so fantastic, but they definitely pack a lot of personality into each pair they design. I just posted my favorites, so be sure to peep the Super blog for the entire season worth of shades.

Custom Beer Pong Table on Etsy

I know it's not the normal content on here, but I was recently sent a link for this amazing custom beer pong table on Etsy and had to share it...






"Custom designed and built Beer Pong Table. Exterior Surfaces are Poplar wood. Legs are dining quality cast iron. Body is seamless, free of any visible screws and/or nails. Wiring for light up Beer Pong Cup set up is completely internal and plugs into power source on bottom of leg. Triangles are red plexiglass and lit by long-lasting LED lights. Rear panels detach for maintenance. On/off switch is under-mounted. Clean, Cool, and one-of-a-kind design."



Especially now that me and my friends are no longer living in college dorms, it's not as easy to conceal a beer pong table and still keep it classy. That's why I'm in love with the simple and sexy wood grain top of this one, with the super unique dip in the middle and lastly the epically lit up triangle.

The price tag sure isn't cheap, and the production is limited to 20, but this is definitely a grown man's beer pong table if you have the space and the budget. Interested in buying? peep here.

NIke SB Dunk Hi 'Statue of Liberty'

Yeah yeah, so Nike SB hasn't really been able to keep up the steam that they had earlier in the 2000's, but they still manage to pull off that one shoe every year that people just go nuts over. Last year it was the Gucci RESN Dunk Hi, and this year it's looking like the Statue of Liberty Dunk Hi...



Honestly at first glance, the color and texture of these are absolutely dope to me, but it's what happens when you wear them in that is so special. Once on the feet, the areas that get the most wear and scuff marks will fade easily to show the under-layer of 'copper'. Peep the samples from Nike for a better idea.

These are of the quickstrike breed and should be hitting top SB accounts very shortly, so don't sleep.
