KRINK Markers

2008-07-07T05:35:00.000-07:00

KRINK is a brand of markers and inks for any creative medium. These markers are known for their excessive drip, and their extra-permanentness. These are perfect for the aspiring writer trying to get up on any smooth surface. My favorite is the K-71 and I personally own a few KRINK markers. The next time someone asks you for a pen, whip one of these out...

Yuugghh!!! Major Threat "The Worm" New Era

2008-07-07T04:42:00.000-07:00

Yo, any New Era cap that has more than an 'A' or some other team in the usual colors and designs generally have me at hello, so the new Major Threat New Era featuring 'the elective' lettering and a worm showcasing the nerdyness of the wearer (always a plus), is definately on my cop list. Usually, I'd like to keep my hypebeast status, but this once, ill reveal one of my top custom New Era cap sites. This is just one of the colorways, but more "The Worm" and other <{Electives}> approved caps can be found at Cap City.

These Shoes are 2 Fresh!!! Kris Van Assche 2009 Spring/Summer Footwear Collection

2008-07-07T04:16:00.000-07:00

Kris Van Assche has recently taken over Heidi Slimane over at Dior Homme, and thus has the job of creating footwear up-to-par with the amazing fashion advances of recent times. But I'd say he's doing a great job so far. His line has some very imaginative footwear concepts centering around velcro straps, but these are by far, the flyest. These are definately on my To-Buy list...

Pastelle Preview

2008-07-07T04:07:00.001-07:00

Kanye West was spotted as a spectator of the recent Fashion Week in Paris, where he quietly mixed in select pieces from his upcoming collection Pastelle. The Pastelle line was set for release in 2007, and West upset many fashion freaks and hypebeasts (us included) with the increasingly delayed statement concerning the line. Among the pieces is this hoodie seen here which should be an interesting look into what sort of direction Pastelle will take. Kanye West has become somewhat of a model for combining various parts of the fashion spectrum together into a package admired by many. It seems kanye will be taking a leap into the 'futuristic' direction that his recent album, Graduation and his "Glow In The Dark Tour" that recently ended also took. Looks pretty ill to me, but im anxious to see what else Kanye...and his advisors come up with...
