Check out the new Patta Air Max 1 collab kicks, being released under the Quickstrike name, featuring a sleek collection of materials and colors. Using corduroy, denim and suede to highlight the deep accents of blue, green and red, these kicks are definitely one of a kind. While no release date has been announced, MusicSkins has a few pics to keep us drooling.

DJ AM’s Kicks On Display


As DJ AM’s Memorial Fund continues to auction off his collection on eBay UNDFTD’s Silverlake location has erected a display of select pairs to show potential buys what kinda heat they are dealing with. The small gathering of shoes reads like a meeting of the Holy Grails an includes pretty rare stock. But don’t take my word for it, see for yourself and place your bid if you haven’t. Via UNDFTD.com

Nike Canarinho Collection



We just can’t catch a break over here in America. First its the LBJ Ambassador’s and then these pictures of the Canarinho Collection. Composed of 3 models including a Blazer Low Metro, Dunk Low and Tennis Classic the shoes feature hand drawn images of soccer playing canaries in a few different color ways. Over all this is a dope drop and if you want em you better plug the link into google translate!

Louis Vuitton Street Sneaker Winter 2009 Collection




Louis Vuitton sneakers are sorta like filet mignon of the sneaker world. Sure rare Nike’s fetch high prices but thats because they tell a story or represent something greater than their purpose while LV sneakers are just expensive for the sake of being expensive. Okay honestly they are not, there is a certain luxury and quality associated with these lifestyle products and anything that bears their name shares in that claim. So tread carefully when looking at this Winter 2009 Collection, it just may run you your entires weeks pay to nab a pair via solecollector.com

Supra Skytop II – Gold/Black Patent


These Supra Skytop II’s are falling in line with a number of the recent metallic uppers we have seen as of late but its safe to say that the brand has been making use of shiny materials for quite some time now, maybe even jump starting the trend. Gold and black patent leather combines on this one for one of the better Supra’s I have seen this year. As release info becomes available we will be sure to keep you updated. Via SupraTalk.com

Celebrity Kicks: Wale, Drake and Cudi hit GQ Magazine



3 of the most popular new comers on the hip-hop scene grace the pages of the upcoming issue of GQ and are being dubbed as the “gangster killers” because they have helped to usher in a new era where coke and guns are not the 1st things that they spit about. As usual, Wale is on point with some slickness and is seen rocking a pair of Supreme dunks. Drake is wearing a pair of suede boot looking sneaks and Cudi is rocking a pair of black Retro 7s.Via Nah Right.com

"I'm just watchin' Pacquiao box 'em up"- Jayz. Manny Pacquiao (50-3-2) defeated Miguel Cotto (34-2) after pounding his head in for twelve straight rounds. There’s no other way to put it. All bets are on a Pac-Man vs. Mayweather bout some time next year.

Supra Skytop II Tour







The Supra Skytop II has been stirring up a lot of convo as of late, and will go crazy now that the Supra Skytop II tour has officially been announced.

Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High Metallic Zinc Patent


Metallic patent leather almost sounds like overkill until you see it. Jordan has chosen to give their Jordan 1 retro the gleaming upper for what looks to be a champagne and silver shoe that is pretty darn flashy.

Curren$y – iHipHop Interview (Video)




I think Spitta’s stance on this has played a pivotal roll in maintaining his relevancy and his fans dedication. It’s about the culture, and not the money for Curren$y. How many other rappers can say that with a straight face?

18K Gold Casio x Art Is The Alibi G-Shock DW-6900


This watch is stupid. Yes, ridiculously retarded. This Casio G Shock is easily the best customized G Shock to ever be customized. Sorry Pharrell, you were outdone on this piece right here. If I was already on and making numerous figures and seeing multiple commas, this would be on my left wrist as of now. An 18k gold piece, damn I love gold. Limited to 25 pieces and priced at 19,000 Euros equaling 28,000 US Dollars, it seems I’m assed out. Props to the Snobs.

Jay Electronica + Mos Def + Curren$y = Center Edge Territory


Just take a second and look at the title. Now get ready to be ecstatic (and I’m not talking about Mos’ latest album). These three artists are teaming up for a collaboration album (and are already 6 tracks deep).

“Just chillin’” with Dame Dash may have just spawned a rap supergroup project. On Wednesday, at Dash’s new facility (art gallery, TV studio, music studio and more), DD172, critically acclaimed underground lyricist Curren$y told MTV News that he, Jay Electronica and Mos Def have combined forces to start recording an entire album together.

“That’s ridiculous!” Curren$y said. “Jay Electronica is from my city, he’s from New Orleans. I never met homie until I stepped foot in this building. He came here to meet Mos. And Mos, I had only known him for 24 hours prior to that. But genuine people could recognize [each other], it was like, ‘Let’s go.’ ”

Curren$y said Mos came up with the name of “Center Edge Territory” for the trio. When asked exactly what the moniker means, Curren$y would only comment emphatically, “Everything! That’s everything!

Last Words...Jay's Pick Of The Night: "OH NO"-Lil Wayne
