kicks of the day !
Old school meets new school as Nike hooks up a
rookie silhouette that fuses a Wildwood, Air Max 90
and a Free Trail together with a classic colorway from the
O.G Air Max 180. Besides being one of the lightest trainers
on the market, these are hooked up with ACG tech, meaning
you can rough them up a little bit and they’ll stay strong.
Check for them this month in select Nike retailers.

jigga man & beyonce tying the knot .
It’s looking official… Jayonce have finally gone
after that marriage license!
According to a source, the pair took out a license
on Tuesday morning. The document is valid for 60 days.
A rep for Beyoncé told PEOPLE, “No comment.” Jay-Z’s
spokesperson could not be reached for comment.
Beyoncé, 26, and Jay-Z, 38, have been dating since 2002,
though the couple have stood reluctant to discuss their
relationship publicly. Rumors about their romance began
circulating after the singer appeared on Jay-Z’s song “‘03
Bonnie & Clyde,” followed by collaborations on Beyoncé’s
solo hit “Crazy In Love,” in 2003.

rihanna still denying chris.
Rihanna has recently denied her relationship with Chris
Breezy because “he is like a brother” to her.
She said: “We are best friends, honestly, like brother
and sister. I won’t say that we’re just friends - me and
Chris are really best, best friends.
“We both started our careers around the same time. He
is one of the only people in the industry that I trust and
hang out with all the time. If he was a boyfriend, I would
say that.”
How many times have you heard a female tell you that
same old tale about someone they were always with?
Chris also confirmed he has no interest in pursuing a relationship
with Rihanna, saying: “People keep asking me, ‘What’s the deal?’
I’m like, ‘There’s no deal. No deal.’ We’re just friends.
“At our age, I think you should be yourself and see as
many girls as possible!”
Friends or not, something is going on. It’s rare that you see
friends hugged up, grinding on each other and playing marco
polo in the pool with no blind fold – all in a matter of one week!
that's a load of bullshit if you ask me !!

beyonce & jigga man to marry ?!
With Jay-Z and Beyonce’s individual domination the music
scene for the past decade, you’d imagine that it can be a
bit difficult to take their relationship to higher levels.
According to the NY Daily News:
Things are getting more serious for Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
The couple of nearly six years have been slow to take
that next step in their relationship, in part because her
parents believe she’s too young (26) to get married. But
now that Beyoncé’s acting career is taking off, her folks
are more open to the pair getting serious, says a pal of
the Knowles clan.
Could Beyonce’s new spark in the world of acting
allow her to open her schedule up for marriage
and possibly having a baby?
While Beyoncé was on location filming “Cadillac Records,”
Jay-Z met up with Knowles sibling Solange in the Florida
Room of South Beach’s Delano Hotel, where the pair sipped
on Don Julio tequila and chatted about how the hip-hop
mogul could move things to the next level.

YO ! mtv raps making a come back.
20 years ago MTV was the first major television network to have a music video show solely dedicated to hip-hop. “Yo! MTV Raps” premiered on August 6, 1988 and had a 7 year run ending in August 1995. The ground-breaking 2 hour music television show was hosted by Fab 5 Freddy, Doctor Dre (not to be confused with Dr. Dre from N.W.A.) and Ed Lover. The show came at a time when hip-hop was hard to find on television, thus creating an outlet and place to go for young hip-hop junkies of the 80s. It goes without saying that “Yo! MTV Raps” was revolutionary for its time and contribution to making hip-hop mainstream and not just a “trend” that everyone thought would pass.To commemorate the show’s 20th anniversary, MTV will be airing re-runs throughout April. Hopefully watching old school classics will inspire and remind this new generation of “Candy Shop”, “Lollipop”, and “Yah TRICK Yah!!” Rapping youngsters of what the true essence of hip hop is really about.
etnies X verte
It's all about black and white this season and etnies and Verte have joined forces to create a collection of footwear and apparel that includes an updated version of the classic etnies Ollie King, the new Jameson shoe and the Pleather Jacket. The collaboration will be offered exclusively at core skate shops beginning in June. In case you don't know, Verte is a skate-influenced NYC-based apparel brand that started off selling a line of t-shirts at stores like DQM and Supreme but over the years, has grown organically through a strong demand and will offer a complete cut-and-sew apparel line in 2009. Our bets are the retro loving skate kids will go nuts for the high top. Rad!
nike air tech challenge II
One of the hottest retros to come out of Nike since the Structure, is the Air Tech Challenge II in all its flaming pink and airbrushed glory.

Remaining as true to the OG as possible, the ATCII will probably be the most popular shoe to rock come April. Check Provider in Melbourne and Hype DC/ Espionage in Sydney this April for the drop.

Adidas’ sports performance range is set to make a massive comeback this year and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
asics gel lyte III
If you find yourself getting sick of wearing the same shoes you see on 10 other heads when you walk down the street, then get your foot sucked into a pair of Asics Gel Lyte III’s and dance to a different beat. Asics have been doing awesome things with the Gel Lyte and the colourways they continue to drop have been spot on. This mud/pink/purple colourway is a perfect balance of taking the best bits of a female sneaker and wacking it on a men’s style. You gotta be a man to pull off pink! Awesome.

check out this hard-to-find Marc Jacobs Striped Hudson Bag which retails for $1,275! Well, no need to spend that rent money because Forever 21 made a similar bag for $29.80!
kicks of the day .
We’d love to say these gold-dipped Honja Hi’s were a replica of a popular shoe that fits the same description, but we’re not trying to get on Mr. Yamamoto’s shit list. The Honja gained steam in the fall, and apparently Y-3 plans to keep the silhouette on the production line for seasons to come. They retail for over 2 bills, but you can’t put a price on flossing kicks no one else has.
$270, Y-3.com
When you skate under the Supra umbrella, it’s never a one-and-done when it comes to your signature sneakers.

If you’re looking for that Supra flash hold out till late summer, but you can never go wrong with crispy white on whites.

diddy selling NO BiTCHASSNESS tees (lol).
Here’s a video of Diddy promoting his tee’s on the web. He’s telling people not to buy bootleg t-shirts but isn’t this commercial somewhat bootleg? These shirts are way too plain and simple. Of course people are going to bootleg it.
Don’t blame him though. Just another simple and easy way to make more money.
If you are not aware of what BitchAssNess is, and would like to hear it used in a sentence. Watch this clip from Making The Band 4 where Diddy uses the word over and over again.

world's first male prego (WOW)
Thomas Beatie may have looked like your average man… that
is, until he found himself preparing to have a baby!
According to AOL News:
Beatie, Popular Fidelity reports, was born a woman, but had gender
reassignment surgery. His wife couldn’t get pregnant, but he still could.
So now the child’s father will be the one to give birth.
That explains it! So this “guy” was born a woman and somewhere
along the lines, he/she transformed himself/herself into a man
for the reason of… okay, let’s not get into that.
Check out what “Thomas” had to say about this whole deal:
How does it feel to be a pregnant man? Incredible. Despite the fact that
my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident
being the man that I am. In a technical sense I see myself as my own
surrogate, though my gender identity as male is constant. To Nancy, I
am her husband carrying our child-I am so lucky to have such a loving,
supportive wife. I will be my daughter’s father, and Nancy will be her
mother. We will be a family.
