Drake drops the visuals to the song HYFR with a Bar Mitzvah as the driving theme for the video. Drake also drops the visuals to his collab with Rihanna on the song “Take Care” on the heels of the HYFR video. Not To Shabby.

Jake Davis hooks up with ASAP Rocky in a “Screen Test” version of his Test Shot series. Not much to say here other than watch it. It’s simple, clean, and dope.

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to attend a NCAA Final Four screening event at Nike’s Masaryk gym in the LES of New York City thanks in part to Nike NYC. I must say it was an amazing and surreal space. Every inch and speckle of paint exuded sport and motivation. At one point in between the two games and at each half time I had urges and wishes a quick little pickup game would pop off but no such thing happened. If you get the chance to visit Masaryk it’s beyond worth it.

This pair of NikeID’s I made basically comes from the original phrase used to describe sneakers, which was plain and simple “Tennis Shoes.” So I mocked up these Nike LunarGlide 3’s in an tonal Volt colorway with grey accents and a light vivid blue on the sole, a slight nod to the US Open. The other part of the inspiration came from the Flock Of Seagulls song and artwork since these are running sneakers.

I can’t say enough good things about this little vignette. I’m a fan of what both gentlemen do.First Jake Davis has a great eye for visual style and for displaying that and second Mark McNairy makes some of my favorite pieces of menswear. Visual Poetry.

When it comes to sneakers and footwear we all have our favorite “Ride Or Die” pairs that we wear on a consistent basis. Going into making this pair of Bespoke Air Force One’s I was inspired by the few days leading up to the appointment. This bespoke was inspired by the Jordan 3 black/cement and the Jordan 11 “Spacejam” which are the two pairs I wear consistently no matter what, whether it’s to chill, run errands or party. The sunglasses and Advil part was inspired by the EPIC Nigel Sylvester Birthday party at the penthouse of Hotel on Rivington NYC which gave me the only headache/hangover the next morning which inspired the use of cement print symbolizing the head crack I had. Now I’m adding this pair to my “Ride or Die” pairs.

A few Pictures of the madness that was Nigel Sylvester’s birthday party. A definite “Sunglasses And Advil” kind of night.

Looks like another salmon colored Asics will be coming out from the ongoing and well executed collabs between Asics and Ronnie Fieg. This time we get two images from both Ronnie Fieg’s Instagram as well as Theophilus London’s. Both pictures show use of different shoelace colors and both look equally dope. This time unlike “Salmon Toe” Gel Lyte III’s instead of the toe it’s the whole sneaker that’s covered in a salmon colored suede or nubuck. Summer sneaker for sure.

UPDATE: via Ronnie Fieg’s Blog

A release date is upon us, thisFriday, March 2nd, 2012 at 11a.m. EST the Rose Gold will release for $130 USD.
