Atlanta based Process team up with Los Angeles based fitted cap company Estate LA to bring us this newest collaboration. The fitted cap incorporates the Los Angelos Dogers “L” with the Atlanta Braves “A” which merge the two coast together. Offered in Lakers’ gold and purple and Falcons’ red and black.

Nike Vandal High LE - Black / White - Elephant

These are fresh I want a pair. I'd totally take that strap off of it though. The Nike Vandal originally released around 1984, and the idea of having straps on a sneaker have become more and more popular since then. This Vandal High LE hosts a black upper accented by elephant print on the rear, as well as white accents seen on the mid-sole and strap. To contrast the overall simple colorway, Nike has incorporated various materials, including mesh, leather, and textured leather, into this pair. The Black/White Nike Vandal High LE is now available for pre-order on the ‘Bay, and will be hitting Nike retailers next month.

It Might Get Loud

This movie looks great these are three of the most badass guitar players in the world. I am glad that the edge is finally getting some credit he is an amazing guitar player and one of the most innovative. I want to see it pretty bad.

Rarely can a film penetrate the glamorous surface of rock legends. It Might Get Loud tells the
personal stories, in their own words, of three generations of electric guitar virtuosos – The Edge(U2), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), and Jack White (The White Stripes). It reveals how each
developed his unique sound and style of playing favorite instruments, guitars both found and
invented. Concentrating on the artist’s musical rebellion, traveling with him to influential locations, provoking rare discussion as to how and why he writes and plays, this film lets you witness intimate moments and hear new music from each artist. The movie revolves around a day when Jimmy Page, Jack White, and The Edge first met and sat down together to share their stories, teach and play.

Shutter Island

Check out the Trailer HERE
I am not into scary movies at all. But this is just the right mix to get me to go see one. A badass cast including: Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, Michelle Williams, Patricia Clarkson, and Max von Sydowwith, with an amazing legend of a director Martin Scorsese. “Shutter Island” is the story of two U.S. marshals, Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo), who are summoned to a remote and barren island off the coast of Massachusetts to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a murderess from the island’s fortress-like hospital for the criminally insane. This shit looks so scary and just like a great movie.

The Road

Check out the Trailer HERE
E's parents got me this book for Chrismukkah I have yet to read it but the movie is about to come out so I guess I can just go see it.

Apple IPhone 3G S


So my screen broke on my phone last week while doing nothing at all. I have asked for a iPhone for my birthday and I think now it is officially time to get a new phone! This morning marks the start of Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco and though Steve Jobs didn’t make an appearance, the Keynote address by Phil Schiller was not one to disappoint. With a slew of announcements, from the new OS X Snow Leopard, improved MacBook & MacBook Pro, to Safari 4 Internet Browser. However, most of the audiences, along with Apple fans were waiting for one announcement only, the new iPhone.

Dubbed the iPhone 3G S, Apple stated it to be the fastest iPhone thus far. It also resolve issues that many early adopters complained about, such as battery life, camera resolution, and more…

Some of the new iPhone 3G S features include:

Faster performance - Up to 2X faster, making the iPhone 3G S the fastest iPhone ever
Longer battery life - A big gripe from iPhone owners was the poor battery life. The new iPhone 3G S has about a third longer battery life.
New 3-Megapixel camera - Built-in autofocus and ease of control, simply “tap” the subject on the touch screen to focus in
Video enable - New camera also allows VGA video capability in portrait and landscape. Ease of sharing among friends and family too.
Advance voice control - Recognize contact information and even song information during the iPod function
Digital compass with GPS navigation - More accurate than before with map automatically coordinate to the direction you’re facing.
Better cut, copy, and paste - Quick copy or cut words, photos, and even videos
Internet tethering - A function many asked for is finally here. You could share the 3G Internet connection on the iPhone with either a Mac or PC notebook*
Available in Black or White, the iPhone 3G S retails for US$ 199 for 16GB model and US$ 299 for 32GB. Due to release on June 19th but you could pre-order yours now on Apple’s web store. As for the rest of the world, an estimated 80 countries will have the iPhone 3G S by August.

In the market for a dope t-shirt? Nike’s got you covered with two MVP aka Most Valuable Puppets tees.

Everyone wasn’t feeling this ad campaign, but for the people that did, you might want to invest in one of the tees. TSG is putting you on game early, so it’s your fault if you miss out. Both tees are now available at Nike concept stores and NikeTowns for $25.

Song of the Day : Justin Timberlake "Until The End Of Time" (LIVE)

This is a great song off of FutureSex/LoveSounds live at Madison Square Gardens.  Justin Timberlake def has soul and has upped his game so much since he went solo.  This is a great live concert the HBO put on.  I watched the whole thing once from start to finish and was just like damn he is a good performer.  

E! has been gone for about a month now and it sucks!  I knew it was going to be hard not having her around pretty much at all during the summer, but I guess I didn't realize how much it was going to suck!  I miss her everyday and there isn't a time during the day that wouldn't rather be spending it with her.  This song says all the rest that I want to say about that...OneLove

Now if you're ever wondering
About the way I'm feeling
Well baby girl there ain't no question
Just to be around you is a blessing

Sick and tired of trying to save the world
I just want to spend my time with you girl

And what you're giving me
Let's me know that we'll be alright.

'cause if your love was all I had
In this life
Well that would be enough
Until the end of time
So rest your weary heart
And relax your mind
Cause I'm gonna love you girl
Until the end of time



Nike 6.0 Zoom Oncore High - 3 Inches Blood


I don't listen to heavy metal or have ever found it appealing in any way but these shoes are pretty fly.  Nike 6.0 has teamed up with Canadian heavy metal band 3 Inches Blood to create the Nike 6.0 Zoom Oncore High - 3 Inches Blood, better known as the Blood Oncore High. This Nike 6.0 shoe carries a dark, bloody tone with its dark purple/blood upper and dark grey sole. The shoe uses suede, leather, and other materials to make this shoe what it is. A black swoosh finishes off the dark tone of the shoe, while the white contrasts and blood colored tongue give this shoe some style. 3 Inches Blood is stitched on the back heel to commemorate the metal band.

Song of the Day : Kid Cudi "Heaven At Nite"

So like I said i've been working as an extra. Its nothing glamorous at all. I sit in the stands while they film people acting like they are playing football. But the pay is good and you pretty much are doing nothing so. Plus I got to see Sandra Bullocks fine ass the other nite! Oh and when I say nite it shoots from 7PM-7AM yea all day and all nite. Its not that bad I mean I stay up late nites most of the time. I think the best part of the whole thing is that for the past week I've got to see the Sunset and the Sunrise! Pretty damn cool and well worth all the bullshit.

But this is one of Kid Cudi's new songs it is damn good and the video for it is cool too. I'd guess day and nite would be a better pick for staying up all nite and day. But I like this songs cause I get to see the Heavens close and open up everyday.

The Blind Side

For the past week I've been working as an extra in a new Sandra Bullock Football movie they are filming in ATL.  Its called The Blind Side and is the true life story of Michael Lewis.  Based on his biography with the same title. It is a pretty amazing story...well hell this guy tells it better than me...

Crooks & Castles - Pork Pie Hat


So once again here is a dope hat that I would love to rock all summer and that is perfect for it. But here is a lil history behind the hat. Not many details are known about the origin(s) of pork pie hat except the style first appeared in the 18th century. Named for its similarity in appearance to a pork pie, the hat was originally a women’s headwear till it gradually became a staple for men as well.

With the resurgence in interest of “gentlemen” headwear recently, so has the popularity of the pork pie hat. Various incarnations have appeared since, including a recent variant from Crooks & Castles. Hand weaved in straws, a logo imprinted hat band wrapped around the brim. Available in natural or black


Nike Air Scandeezy


So these are pretty cool and with so much attention surrounding Nike Sportswear and Kanye West’s creation, Air Yeezy, retailer SoleHeaven decided to up the ante with its very own creation – the Air Scandeezy.  I would want a a pair of these fo sho.  E! was right all along the Zen/ Charcoal colorway is the best.

By combining Nike Air Scandal with the very first Air Yeezy colorway, the Zen/Charcoal. SoleHeaven was able to create (or re-create) a unique hybrid of sort. Unfortunately, there are no plans to mass produce this design so the Air Scandeezy is an one-of-one concept. But if you’re interest in purchasing this, simply email SoleHeaven at customerservice@soleheaven.com
