Shout out to the homies @ 8081 doing big things for Cleveland. They recently caught up with emcees Mikey Rocks of The Cool Kids as well as up-and-comer Curren$y to talk favorite rappers, favorite sneakers, and favorite brands.
Here’s some images Fall 2008 collection by Married To The Mob. This collection is somewhat special, as the brand moves from a line dominated by t-shirts and hoodies to a collection consisting of many cut & sew pieces, denim, and accessories.
Our good buddy Zac, managing editor of Sole Collector Magazine, blessed us with a dope write up on page 24 of the new issue. There is also a excellent feature on Nike SB’s, including a profile of every SB Dunk ever released. Ever. We’ll have some issues in store so stop by and check us out or cop the magazine yourself.
Sole Collector has the official detailed images of the Air Yeezy’s:
“Since Kanye West was first seen wearing an unusual black-based, high top shoe while performing at the annual Grammy Awards show last February, everyone on the planet was wondering just how and why Nike had created a unique silhouette just for the recording artist.

A new version of the popular social networking site Facebook is going to be launching anyday now. The overall setup is a little difficult to get used to, but overall it isn’t too much different. The big focus with the changes seems to be toning down pesky applications that people went crazy for. Pointless apps added to the Myspace-ing and dumbing down of Facebook in the first place, so to me this is a good thing. If you want a full report on the changes, see Techcrunch’s report. If you want to skip the details and just see for yourself, just log into www.new.facebook.com.

She discusses the first line of cut and sew pieces that will be shipping out September 1st, and the growth of her brand out of her apartment and into an office space in the Empire State building.
I guess I can finally release this picture now, since the big boys finally did. There’s a video to check out on the project over there as well. More shots when it lands!
This isn’t just for streetwear blogs. JSpear and The Hunters got it up too.
