In the beginning of December, Crooks will finally have their castle. Their own flagship store. Located in the City of Angels on Melrose, Crooks and Castles will most likely be sharing the block with BAPE and DC Shoes. Congrats and good luck guys!

Lupe Fiasco and Japanese clothing company Swagger are in the works of a hot collaboration. Lupe’s original Trilly & Truly line is being fed generously by the design efforts of Swagger, that he’s going produce a separate label. Looks as if most of the product is to be overseen by Big-O and Iggy(Swagger operators) out of Japan and released there, but chances are limited boutiques will have some of this collabo in their stock this December.

Stussy has truely been one of my faves of all time. Since Stussy, mossimo, and yaga were all sold in the same store. Maybe if I rummage through all my old things, I might find a huge, overly worn 8ball tee by stussy. I remember signing up for the U.S.Navy at the age of 18. I didn’t want to go, but it didn’t help that I was getting into trouble and all of my mom’s brothers were high ranked Navy commanders and what not. So if I didn’t know any better, I’d think they did this collab for me. HA! Too bad I don’t have $325 laying around for this joint.

3Sixteen does it again with some major heat. Take for example what you see above. If you’re cold then you’ll need their fade to black zip up hood to warm things up. Thank you Hypebeast for the heads up!

Brawnz X Bun B welcoming LB to Houston.

Could there be a Collab in the making?

Evidence of Dilated Peoples.

Stage presence.

The whole New Anthem family couldn’t make it out that night, but Brawnz stepped off the jet from the Bay, threw on some streetwear, took back a shot of henny, grabbed a red bull, and met up with Houston’s own Bun B just in time to meet and greet Little Brother and company. There was no sand left in the hourglass for an interview, but Brawnz managed to snap off a few flicks for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy kids! And stay tuned to…

This joint is a collabo between VANS and United Arrows(Japanese brand Uniqlo rival so to speak). These colors are real hot around the holidays, so if you haven’t bought anything for your boy, here’s an idea! Or if you’re feeling the strap and the croc skin strip, then cop these for yourself!

We love our football. They love their football(rugby). Enough to create this joint. We don’t have the slightest idea on how to play rugby, but we wouldn’t mind grabbing a hold of one of these bad boys. The visionary creators of desire, Chanel, continue to amaze us with bold new applications for the Chanel logo and color branding. You can also be an owner of a Chanel surf board, wet-suit, tennis rackets and snow skis. got Chanel?

Orisue has had their share of 5 star pieces, but new anthem here believes this is their best work by far. They sure did pay plenty of attention to their cut and sew joints. Props. Collabo in the future? Get ‘em!

We were taking care of “Lillibean“(more on her later) at the time this flick was taken. What should’ve been a 10 minute blog update, ended up our eyes glued to a 49 minute animation of a talking crab and singing mermaid gone human. Aren’t there some subliminal messages throughout this flick?

The public laid down alot of money to their mobile bookies when the AT&T Apple iphone took the field this past June. But this 2007 holiday season, a new challenger is trying to lock homefield advantage. Verizon Wireless and LG electronics teamed up to release their rendition of a champion’s phone. The LG VX10000 voyager is the piece of metal and plastic that mocks the competition. You won’t need tickets to sit ringside this bout. But you will need to cough up around $300-$500 for either experience.

The folks at German sneaker shop Purchaze just got in a shipment of Nike Air Force Ones from the Charles Barkley series chronicling his career.

This is a Rechargeable USB Lighter, designed by Nathan Gabriele. It’s a regular Zippo to you at first glance, but flip this bad boy open and there you’ll find the flameless emission. Basically works by resistance coils – just like a car lighter. Whenever you run empty on juice, just plug it in a free USB port to recharge it.

And if that wasn’t fresh enoough, this joint doubles as a USB flash storage as well. Unsure of size though.
