REWORKED | COP WHAT YOU WANT (cwywcartel.com) The term ‘streetwear’ is overutilized and misunderstood to the point that it feels like anyone with a heat press is a designer. While it feels wrong to diminish those who create their own art and lump them in with people simply using other artists’ work on their clothing,…

The minimalist sound of $wift is an ode to the underground, stripped down sound of getting your work out of the mud and making sure you let the world know that the process isn’t pretty. The 9 track album is a bit muted due to the autotune giving it a heavy ATL/Future sound, but…
For some reason the change to Winter arrives in a 24-hour timespan. Everyone is wearing shorts on Wednesday and by sunset of the same day, everyone is trying to figure out why 72 on the temp display for AC doesn’t feel the same as 72 when the heat is on. With the quick change in…
The G.T. Hustle 2 gets a 90s inspired colorway. Based on the Tinker Hatfield designed Talaria, the G.T.

A$AP has some flawed sneaker collabs, but it wasn’t because he didn’t attempt to do something different. He didn’t rush into a sneaker deal with Nike, where success was…
I’ve owned two Mustangs. A regular 4 banger LX which I juiced up as much as possible, and a 93 Limited LX 5.0 Convertible all white. I loved both cars but made the mistake of getting rid of my 5.0 because I was coaching high school hoops. I recently heard about the Mustang Dark Horse,…
Best Sushi, Hibachi, Thai Cuisine and Bento Box Source: Urban Fusion – Asian Bistro The unfortunate reality is Chinese food gets a bad rap. Asian cuisine is often tossed into one gigantic bag and there isn’t any clarity on just what Asian cuisine is. Curry inspired dishes from Indian cultures… that’s Asian. Sushi is a…

Source: Love Levitates, by Louis Baker I hate to make comparisons when I discover new artists, but I always do so. If Marvin Gaye spawned a musical lovechild who leans heavily towards jazz, this is the album that person would deliver. Does it seem fair to align Louis Baker with one of the most amazing…
This Craft 1 Mid has both elevated materials and an elevated price. Is it worth the 135 dollar SRP? The sneaker features canvas, suede and has an updated design element placing traditional panels inside-out. The color blocking is solid and the embroidered Wings logo at the heel, but as Jordan Brand increases the prices of…
The Nuggets ring ceremony, Ernie, Kenny, Shaq and Chuck, Joker, Bron, Steph and KD… opening night looked amazing and the stream by Bleacher Report and HBO Max (I know it’s Max) only buffered twice and it wasn’t at critical moments. I could see every pair of sneakers, but more important I could see the commercials….
I understand licensing, but this seems peculiar. Under Armour and Tennessee State University recently celebrated the design of the football team’s homecoming uniforms. I thought this was a cool moment until I got a call from my creative director mentee Swish Griffin (https://stepbackswish.com) who wanted to attend the Nike Yardrunners Event. On short notice I…
