Before you read on, this is not the Carhartt that we know here in the US. This is Carhartt streetwear. Which unfortunately is only available in Europe. The brand stays true to its heritage but for this season there seems to be more effort put into making it more casual pieces such as knitwear, plaid shirts, and printed shorts.

Utada Hikaru performed tonight at the Filmore. Wanted to go see it but missed out. Yeah I enjoy her some of her songs. It’s the softer side of me.
Congrats to the Saints for beating the Colts last night during the Super Bowl last night. Great game and definitely great for the city of New Orleans. Asides from the big game I tune in to watch the ads. Check out some of the ones I like after the jump.

The market is over saturated these days. It seems like brands are popping out of nowhere and current brands entering into new categories. Consumers now have more choices than ever and most of the time these choices are carbon copies with just a different brand name. To combat this monotony companies such as Nike create a way to personalize individual product. More brands have followed suit. Louis Vuitton decides to capture the trend with a customization service of their own. Entitled MyMonogram, customers can now order their own custom template with colors and initials of their choice. This program is scheduled to last 6 – 8 months for now. So better get on it. Did mine. Strictly carry on luggage for this bag. More images after the jump
My boy Jimmy is doing it big in TW. His store Invincible just did this collaboration with Original Fake. I’ve phased out of these types of hoodies, probably from wearing one daily while working at Bape. But the black ones are nice. It’s reminiscent to the Bape chomper and star hoodie. This collaboration collection will be EXCLUSIVELY released at INVINCIBLE (Taipei, Taiwan), OriginalFake at Isetan Shinjuku (Tokyo, Japan), OriginalFake in Aoyama (Tokyo, Japan) and the Freshness Guerilla Online Shop.

According to a recent report, BMW will build a production version of the Vision EfficientDynamics Concept. Great news for hybrid car technology as this car can perform or out perform gas powered cars like the current M3. More images and video after the jump.
Aside from making great tires Pirelli is also know for their annual calendar. This year they teamed up with Terry Richardson. I have no idea what this has to do with tires or selling tires. At least attempts to incorporate tires into the calendar was made. See more images and the making of the video after the jump.

Oh man, just another reason to be hyper-aware of what you say while on TV in this Internet age: Last night, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews awkwardly tried to compliment President Obama and the country at large following the State of the Union by saying, “I forgot he was black tonight for an hour.” Naturally a Twitter backlash ensued, and the video is now all over the net like white on rice. Video of interview after the jump.

Just finished watching Steve Jobs unveil the new Apple iPad. One of the most hyped up device from Apple since the iPhone. By the way iPad? Sounds like a feminine hygiene product. Steve Jobs has got to be the best salesperson ever. Hearing him talk up the device just make you want to open up your wallet. I’m not going to go in depth on the device here. Just my general immediate reaction. The iPad is supposed to fit in between the iPhone and a laptop. Overall not too impressed with the device. Nothing breathtaking was really unveiled, just another way to view your media and the internet in a simpler way in tablet format. Basically a huge iPod touch for now. I was hoping it would run Mac OS X. Another disappointment is the lack of multitasking, video or sms capabilities. Should have at least offered it on the top of the line model. A person that already has a smartphone or a laptop really has no use for this device. Furthermore on the Apple promotional videos it is touted as the best web browsing experience, but it can’t display flash media? The only thing that got me really surprised was the pricing of the device and the data plan price with AT&T. It starts at $499 and goes up to $829 and unlimited data and free wifi at AT&T hot spots for $29.99 a month. Great deal with AT&T if you find coverage. The iPad is priced just rite so people at home can buy multiple units. Which is probably why investors are loving the device. But what the iPad though is a great platform. The apps built for this device will probably be what will make it great by the time it is released to the public. Since I am a tech geak ill probably end up getting one.

Here is the third installment to the Poorman Weapon by Converse and UNDFTD. The shoe is executed nicely just like the first two colorways by using blue nylon this time and incorporating removable logo patches. Had to pick these up since I’m a sucker for nylon shoes lately. UNDFTD also made a helmet bag and a bomber jacket which the shoe was inspired from. More images after the jump.
Here is another attempt for product viral marketing. I’m not too surprised that this is from AXE. Just watch the video. No need to explain anything here. It is funny though.
Here is a great video from MIDEM. Check out MIDEM(NET) for great reads on music business. I suggest watching this Q&A with Pharrell and Cornerstone Co-CEO Rob Stone from start to finish. A cool inspirational interview.
Pharrell is taking his music business in new direction with the Cornerstone (Rob Stone) partnership. Click here from my previous post about their partnership.
Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to.”
– Jim Jarmusch

Believing you can be a smarter person can actually make you smarter. This is what the findings on the American Psychological Association suggest. I think believing in something is always a positive attribute to a person since it creates goals to achieve for and the confidence to go get it, thus creating a drive to increase the chances of success. Being smart generally isn’t the thing that will make you achieve a goal. You simply need the drive to make it happen. Read an excerpt from the APA after the jump.
Haiti remains a place of profound need, anguish, desperation and danger, with a few glimmers of hope and slowly growing capabilities to receive and distribute the international aid now flowing in. Sporadic looting, sometimes violent, was met with force by security oficials and ordinary citizens, resulting in a number of further deaths and injuries. The tenuous security situation has led to at least one temporary evacuation of a medical facility, to protect the care-givers. Despite the long time since the earthquake, at least five people were pulled from the rubble alive this weekend, including a young girl trapped inside a supermarket who was fortunately surrounded by food, and survived on fruit snacks. More images after the jump. Warning the some of the images are graphic in nature. Please support with the disaster relief efforts. Text "Haiti" to 9-0-9-9-9 to donate $10 to the American Redcross.
Ever wonder what Google employees do when they get bored?
Retail is not what it seems to be. There is no consumer confidence and with no shoppers retailers have no option but to make drastic markdowns, reduce staff, and just close shop. Photographer Brian Ulrich’s took these images of what used to be booming business centers that are now in decay. Check out the other images after the jump.
Growing up as a kid in the 80’s I was a fan of the A-Team. What kid wasn’t back then? Now comes a remake with actors consist of Liam Neeson, Quinton Jackson, Bradley Cooper, and Sharlto Copley. The trailer looks promising and hopefully they didn’t mess up a classic TV show. View the trailer after the jump.
Here is graffiti artist Saber’s take on the American flag. Some saw he defaces the flag and some think its art.
Check out the video of Saber talking about his battle with Epilepsy and Insurance Companies, being a finalist in Organizing For America’s “Health Care Reform Video Challenge” and the conservative reaction, the Release of his “Flag 2010″ Print Edition, and what the American Flag symbolizes to him.

I’ve made several post already on how Social Media can have a big impact on how we communicate, share information, and market products. The true power of social media can be seen with the large amount of donations raised for the disaster in Haiti. At this moment over $3 million has been raised through text messages, tweets, Facebook, Youtube, etc. If used properly Social Media can be a very powerful tool to get information out for people to decipher and make and impact.
Another point I want to make is that this shows that human nature has a thing for reacting to natural disasters. Whenever a natural disaster has caused widespread destruction the whole human race gets together and is emphatic to the suffering. But why is it that if it is a man made disaster we are less inclined to do something? Ill continue this in a different post.
When it comes to clean white sneakers I usually go with a classic pair of Adidas Stan Smith’s. Those will be taking a back seat to these Tennis Classics from Nike done up by streetwear legend Hiroshi Fujiwara. Hiroshi made minimalistic changes and added a hint of gold making it a simple elegant sneaker. More images after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
A 7.0 earthquake hit the islands of Haiti. There’s devastation and hundreds of lives lost are expected. I went through a 7.9 magnitude earthquake myself in the Philippines back in 1990 so I know that that the conditions over there must be horrible. My thoughts and prayers to the people over there. Several charitable organizations such as the American Red Cross and Fire and Rescue teams from the US are already heading down there to help. To help with humanitarian efforts you can make a donation to the following organizations below. More images and videos after the jump. Warning some of the images are graphic

January 10, 2009 marked the 9th annual No Pants Day. The prank is pulled off by Improveverywhere. This prank has now gone global to 16 countries. Commuters braved the cold as they dropped their pants while they rode the subway systems. Passengers were definitely surprised by this, some offended but more just giggled it off. Check out videos and more images after the jump.
Finally decided to take these out. I’ve had these since December but never bothered to play with them. But a close encounter with landing on someone’s foot while wearing the Kobe V’s made me decide to go with something with more ankle support. I’ve also had a lot of request to make a review on these so here it is. So how did a 25 year old design with new tech hold up? Read more after the jump.

If you have seen Soderbergh’s The Girlfriend Experience then you know who Sasha Grey is. If you haven’t I suggest you go check it out. The movie caused a lot of buzz for the actress. Also if you didn’t know she is adult film actress and possibly shifting to major films thanks to her role in The Girlfriend Experience. Playboy got some shots of Sasha for their December issue. More images after the jump. VERY NSFW. Don’t click at work unless you want to get fired. Or you are under 18.

The Adidas Originals by Originals James Bond for David Beckham Collection is now in its 2010 Spring Summer season. The line does a great job combining sportswear with modern styling. The footwear looks good (the red joints) on the model but they’re not doing it for me. I can tell they were going for the athleisure look on the shoes. At first glance I thought they were Clae Romare’s. The white bottoms have to go on those. Read the rest of this entry »
The Google Nexus One aka Google Phone was released to the public on January 5th. The Nexus One was touted as another “iPhone killer,” almost every phone now that comes out is labeled that. Now that a few days have passed and I’ve got a chance to play with the device I must say I am impressed (except for the music player, I’ll still carry around a Nano with this). I wouldn’t call it an iPhone killer but it will certainly take a bite out of the apple. One thing that I like about the phone is how it syncs everything in the Google world. Since I live in a cloud of Google Apps to host my email, calendar, and contacts this might take the place of my trusty Blackberry once this makes it over to Verizon. The only thing that I might miss from the Blackberry is the BBM and the perfect keyboard. I’m not going to go to a full review there’s already a plethora floating around on the web. Hopefully when this makes it to Verizon the slow web browsing and terrible costumer service from Google is improved. Also has anyone notice the marketing of the phone? No TV ads but instead almost every google ad space has the Nexus One, smart.
*NOTE* January 5 is also the birthday of Sir Issac Newton, who explained the law of gravity when a supposed “apple” fell on his head…
Here is another social networking post. Collaborations aren’t just for clothing, footwear, boutique stores anymore. Facebook and Vitamin Water hooked up to create a new drink. Great marketing campaign for both parties. During the process Vitamin Water garnered over a million followers and Facebook will get its logo placed in the bottle enabling it to reach people wherever Vitamin Water is sold. This is reminiscent to how Ikea used Facebook which I blogged here. I embedded the Ikea/Facebook video as a reference to my sidebar.
Everyone today must have have a Facebook or Twitter account. Ever wonder where you favorite social networking site is based from? Check out these images from Facebook and Twitter Headquarters after the jump.
Top Gear got their hands on the new Lexus LFA and put it thru its paces. The car looks like it came out of a video game and looks fun to drive. Not bad for a Lexus. But the car is more expensive than a Ferarri. A Lex over a Ferarri? The drive and its exclusivity might make it worth it. And the digital dash is sick. Check out the video after the jump.
I’m late on this one. This ad was ran by BMW back in 2008 for their Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle’s which were used in Greece. Everyone knows by now that sex sells when marketing products. The image is not visually disturbing but its the quote "You know you’re not the first" that puts it over the top. A definite sexual innuendo that a beautiful women has already had sex more than once. Message, BMW cars are so desirable it doesn’t matter if you are not the first one driving it which portrays the woman as used. Not a good message to be sending out.
The Burj Dubai, correction Burj Kharif is has officially opened its doors in Dubai. The building is tallest man-made structure ever built, at 828 m (2,717 ft) topping the Taipei 101. Will this opening ignite the once booming economy in the region? The current economic condition didn’t stop them from celebrating. Check out the video of the opening after the jump.
Photographs by Dan Vezente. Great idea by applying pixels on the lingerie instead of the model’s body. Makes the lingerie more desirable. These photographs were taken for Magielle. More images after the jump.
A giant bluefin tuna fetched 16.3 million yen ($177,000) in an auction Tuesday at the world’s largest wholesale fish market in Japan.The 513-pound (233-kilogram) fish was the priciest since 2001 when a 440-pound (200 kilogram) tuna sold for a record 20.2 million yen ($220,000) at Tokyo’s Tsukiji market.The gargantuan tuna was bought and shared by the owners of two Japanese sushi restaurants and one Hong Kong-based sushi establishment, said a market representative on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose the information.

I came across these images somewhere. I’ve been meaning to post it for a while now. They are from the Official Preppy Handbook by Jonathan Roberts. Check out these 5 images as it tracks the progression of a man’s style. I like how the evolution imitates life. As we get older our body’s morph back to resembling our new born form, like style portrayed here the elderly person is dressed similarly to the first image. More of the images after the jump.

Every year around this time people make and attempt to do they New Year’s Resolutions. Some will succeed, some will flame out in the process, and some never even get to start. People procrastinate, or just get distracted. I do it myself, sometimes putting things off or just being side tracked. There have been days when I do nothing just sitting home watching endless movie’s, sit in front of the PS3 and beat COD MW in one sitting, get home at 4am after a night out, waking up as late as 2pm. That’s fine, everyone is entitled to some R&R but after a while it becomes unhealthy and unnatural. I guess what I am saying is to be productive a majority of our time. Sometimes being unproductive feels good and sometimes provides instant gratification but having a productive day will always feel better at the end of the day. To be productive do the following things
I did a majority of my holiday shopping online for its convenient and great deals. I used a combination of Bing.com’s cash back bonuses and a lot of comparison shopping to get the best deals. Looks like I wasn’t the only one as shoppers who has been holding off spending all year unleashed their hard earned dollars. Definitely a good sign after the world suffered for most of the year due to banks collapsing and a recession that spread like wildfire across the globe.
Goodbye 2009 hello 2010. I’m very thankful for everything that has happened to me in 2009 good and bad. Its all about learning and maturing.Make something of yourself, better yourself and don’t cease to reach your goals.

Is print dead? As the ability to carry more information in as tiny space as possible the way we view different forms of media is changing in a daily basis. Instead of having the usual Wall Street Journal delivered to the house I now have it digitally delivered. The popularity of the Kindle has readers turning to this digital reader instead of paper backs. Who knows what the rumored iSlate from Apple will bring to the table. Check out this Bonnier Mag prototype. Video and images after the jump.
Really like the pieces from the WTAPS x Supreme collabo. Check out these pics titled "Inevitable Sessions" styled by Tet. View more of the collection after the jump.
Great video of the universe as we know it so far. Reminds you of how little we actually are.
Finally got to see Avatar. All I have to say is James Cameron has done it again. He just redefined what movie making is all about again. The movie incorporates a lot of hidden messages as the war on terror, global warming, love, communication through borders, etc. At some points of the movie however it reminded me of old western movies or Dances with Wolves but in outer space. So there were some bad parts where the story and characters did get a bit boring. But the final quarter of the movie more than made up for it. Since by the time the big battle rolled around I’ve had enough of the Na’vi and Avatar back story. Rest of review, movie images and trailer after the jump.
Sick jacket. Known for their use of premium textiles, Diet Butcher Slim Skin offer a new Blouson Down Jacket utilizing Goatskin leather in a black colorway, accented with silver zippers. Retail tol be set at ¥126,000 (Approx. $1,403 USD). Might be a bit pricey for a goat skin leather jacket though.
Merry Christmas everyone. Season’s greetings with all good wishes for the new year.
I need this in my room. The Kaws 4 foot dissected companion in black. The companion was developed by KAWS and produced by Medicom Toy. These damn things cost a few grand though and are going up to $10,000 on eBay. More images after the jump.
The Air Jordan 11 "Spacejams" release today, one of my favorite sneakers ever made. I remember seeing these first in the 1995 NBA Playoff’s and the Spacejam movie and I had to have it. So when it first came out back in 2000 as a retro I had to pick it up and destroyed it on the courts. Now its back out again I had to get a bunch of pairs. Better get yours fast since this shoe is in every Jordan fan and sneakerheads wish list. More images after the jump.

Is technology ruining the British family? Hardly! Nevertheless, social networking giant Facebook has been cited in almost one in five of divorce petitions in the United Kingdom, lawyers said this week. The siteis being blamed for an increasing number of marital splits, according to one new study. Suspicious spouses also use Facebook — to find evidence of flirting and affairs. Video after the jump.
Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3 featured a number of new artists including G.O.O.D. Music’s Mr Hudson, who lended his voice to Hov’s “Forever Young” track. The two hooked up on this Kanye West produced record that samples Alphaville’s “Forever Young”. The music video was shot in the UK while Jay-Z was on his BP3 tour.
Its a white Christmas. Well not really, its four days off. Braved the snow that night and took a drive into the city. First big snow we’ve had in a while. But don’t think it was as bad as I thought.
Robert Downey Jr. is back as billionaire playboy Tony Stark aka Iron Man in next years Iron Man 2. The sequel to last years blockbuster sees Downey teamed up with Don Cheadle as Rhodey; who by the way finally gets his “War Machine” armor. Gwyneth Paltrow makes a return as Pepper Potts & Scarlet Johansen steps into the role as the Black Widow. Her appearance & Samuel L. Jackson’s cameo as Nick Fury make for a great tease to the upcoming Avengers movie (2012).
These high heels are dope. Footwear concepts by Andreia Chaves. Beautiful, not functional, but I love how each design is a work of art and pushing the boundaries of design. More images after the jump.
Headed up to Harlem to meet up Kevin and Carolina for dinner the other day. Haven’t chilled with them in a while so definitely good to catch up. Went to check out Ricardo Steakhouse in Spanish Harlem. If you are in the area make sure to check it out. It has the feel of a high end steakhouse but the service, the diverse people in the place, and the music (never been to a steakhouse that played hip hop and R&B) made you feel rite at home. I had the Ricardo Platter which came with strip steak, grilled pork chop rice, beans, mashed potatoes and sweet plantains. The dish was properly portioned, served just the way i asked, and tasted great.
Got home today and the UPS guy had left something by the front door. Wasn’t expecting anything so I wandered what this package was. I quickly looked at it and it was a package from Nike. Opened it up and it’s the new Zoom Kobe V that was recently unveiled three days ago. I think this one will release to the public in January or February. Since I phased out of wearing performance sneakers as a day to day shoe these Kobe V’s had only one place to go, the gym. I haven’t played in over two months so receiving these actually motivated me to hit the gym. I normally don’t wear low top shoes to play ball so I brought an extra pair of Foam 1’s just incase they were a dud. More images and my Zoom Kobe V performance review after the jump.
Updated 12/29/09: Got a chance to play with the Zoom Kobe V’s again with tougher competition and all I can say is that they are now my go to shoe for a while.
Negotiating is usually thought of something you do for business but it is something done by everyone in a daily basis. A person negotiates with significant others, friends, family, co-workers without even knowing. I recently read an article that breaks down negotiating into three parts.

If you are in New York City from now until April 26, 2010 make sure to go check out the Tim Burton exhibit at MOMA. You’ll be able to see pieces from his movies and a huge chunk of MOMA’s third floor has been given over to a showcase of Burton’s sketches, drawings, sculptures, paintings, short films, and other artistic ephemera, some of it dating back to his childhood. As an added bonus all 14 of his feature films will be shown during the duration of the exhibit.

I blogged about Alicia Key’s single, Sleeping with a Broken Heart a few days ago and now I finally got to hear the entire album. Compared to her other albums this one is not as soulful. The album sounds like she is moving forward from her past weather it is romantically, lyrically, or singing style. But change is good and I think this is a great album. Check out the songs Unthinkable ft. Drake and That’s How I Stay Strong. You can listen to them after the jump. Get it in itunes or somewhere when it drops 10 days from now on 12/15.
A newly approved chemotherapy drug will cost about $30,000 a month, a sign that the prices of cancer medicines are continuing to rise despite growing concern about health care costs.
Comcast (the largest cable operator in the US providing cable TV, broadcast internet, and telephone service) has purchased a majority of NBC Universal (NBCU) which will give birth to a media superpower in the US.

The joint business deal will be managed by Comcast and the chief executive position will be served by Jeff Zucker, who is the current president and chief of NBCU.
So what does this mean to consumers. More content delivered to people variety wise. Movies can also be shown earlier on cable after it is released from theater. Furthermore television shows will also be appearing quicker in your favorite mobile device.

Everyone these days have some kind of social media account whether it be a twitter, blog or facebook account. While doing the annual Black Friday shopping frenzy I noticed that unlike the previous years of shopping chaos this year was an organized chaos. And this is due to information getting out to consumers. Although the discounts this year are not as deep as previous years because of tight inventory, people have been waiting for a reason to shop. Now they go shop knowing already what they want and where to get it before leaving the house. It was only a matter of time before businesses accept social media as a new form to brand and market themselves to a larger audience. Some companies have social media accounts just so they can have it and look relevant but not making it work to their advantage. Companies have shared sale information early so it can proliferate the social networking world of blogs, FB, tweets and let the people do their own marketing. So if you’re planning on braving the cold make sure to check out your social media sites to get the best deals and shop efficiently.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! Even if things are hard, be thankful for your families & all that you have. God Bless.
Allen Iverson has officially announced his retirement from the NBA. He was definitely a very entertaining player to watch on the court and off the court. Although some people may remember him for his antics like the "Practice" incident no one can say he didn’t go all out every night and competed.
Update: Allen Iverson unretired and signed a 1 year deal on Dec. 4th to go back to the 76ers.

For 2011 BMW is trading in the awkward lines of the previous generation 5 Series for a design that’s tighter, cleaner, and much more beautifully proportioned.
