Updated Air Yeezy Info


We gave you word that the Nike Air Yeezy would release April 4th, but the price and exactly what accounts were getting the sneaker were still unknown. Now we have confirmation that, at Kanye’s request, more stores than expected will be shelving the sneaker, which will retail for $215. In NYC, in addition to the 21 Mercer store, The House Of Hoops in Harlem, and both the 34th street locations of Foot Locker and Footaction will now be getting the Yeezy. To see hi-res shots of the Yeezy’s, as well as some never-before-seen sketches and prototypes, read Complex’s exclusive “Making Of The Air Yeezy” feature.

Converse Skateboarding - Weapon X Hi


Over the past few months, Converse Skateboarding has not only been expanding its team (Rune Glifberg, Tony Silva recently added), but its line of skate shoes. Here we have the Weapon X Hi, the skate version of the classic Converse Weapon sneaker from the 80s. A key updated feature is the ankle strap, which provides ample ankle support that some skater’s really need.

If you’re looking to separate yourself from the Supra Skytop/Nike Dunk High crowd, then make your steps known with a pair of these. Choose from Black or White. Available now for pre-order through CCS at a reasonable price. $79.99 Via CtotheJL

Problematic Clothing





I was getting my surf on tonite (the internet that is) when I came across another line that I like called Problematic Clothing.

Problematic in their own words: It was a bright and sunny California day, and the whole crew was doing what it normally does on a beautiful day, laying around the house watching tv and wasting our lives. We had no money, no company name, and no motivation. As we sat around eating Carl’s Jr., we came up with the name Problematic. Just as we calmed down from our excitement, our friend Steven (now our bodygaurd) walked in and asked if we had come up with a name. We promptly said Problematic. He laughed at us and told us that was the stupidest name he had ever heard. We asked what his problem was and he then responded with, “what’s YOUR problem?”, to which we replied “??????”. We sat around and just looked back and forth at one another until we decided to give up and just go play Madden 2008 on our xbox360.

That story really doesn’t mean anything and that’s the point. We don’t have one set inspiration. We’re not really a themed brand (unless you consider being awesome a theme). Everything is flawed and has it’s own problems in one way or another. None of us will probably ever greatly impact society or change the world, but we sure will point and laugh when we get the chance.

We will always love chicken nuggets and french fries. We love crazy art, even if some people say our work isn’t good enough for “art” (that means you Ms. Johnson!). We listen to all types of music and love action movies. We may not be the founders of a lifestyle or come from an overpopulated city, but we still know what’s up. We think Robert DeNiro is the baddest man of all time.

We won’t say that we hate the government and want to overthrow the system, because that would just be a lie (did I mention we are lazy?). I guess you can consider us rebels…in a non-rebellious way. We don’t mind change, unless your name is Carl’s Jr. and you decide to make your fries natural cut, thus making them the worst fries ever behind In N’ Out.

At the end of the day, we just love making clothes for others to enjoy. We don’t bother describing meaning and influences, because that is something for our fans to discover on their own. If somebody get’s a positive message from our designs, that’s awesome. If not, then don’t worry, you’re probably not the only one.

Reebok Stars & Super Hero Pack


Yesterday we brought you the Pump but today we have more info on the pack itself...For spring 2009, Reebok is releasing its “Stars” and “Superhero” Pack, consisting of an Insta Pump Fury and Pump Omni Lite, and an Insta Pump Fury, respectively. The navy/grey/red Insta Pump Fury and navy/red/white Pump Omni Lite of the Star pack feature a white star print against metallic navy blue patent panel, found throughout both shoes. The Insta Pump Fury also has a speckled red midsole, white sole, and grey upper, while the Pump Omni Lite is dominated by the star print, contrasted by white leather and a red midsole and white sole. These shoes give your feet a patriotic look, but the Superhero pack Insta Pump Fury’s say differently. The neon yellow/red/black Insta Pump Fury’s is mostly neon yellow, contrasted by red and black panels, a black toe featuring a star pattern, and a black midsole and sole. The neon yellow upper parallels radioactive material that will turn its shoeowner into a superhero! Lame, but hey, at least a nice shoe came out of it. So be sure to get at these packs on Mita, available for $185 to $220. Via Sneakerfiles

Christian Faur...Crayon Art!



Artist Christian Faur understands not only the adult attraction to the ideals of crayons, but has amped them up to create incredible, hand-crafted, crayon-pixellated, eye-defying images that are unlike anything I’ve seen before. Straddling a crossing between sculpture and painting, wax and print, he assembles more than 100,000 hand-cast crayons of his own shades and hues into staggeringly beautiful works of art. Impressionistic, with a hint of trompe l’oeil, the tiny crayon columns of separate colour simultaneously appease the eye and defy it. This is crayon-Pointillism, taking the agonizingly detailed pin pricks of colour pain-stakingly arranged on the canvas, a la George Seurat, and leaving the brain to do the other half of the work. It’s beauty is partially already realized by the patterns of colour, but then our eye struggles to put the rest together. It’s jarring and gorgeous, creating an almost physical sensation as our mind tries to adjust these point of colour into one big comprehensive picture. The experience of trying to see it is just as important as finally seeing. Via Broccoli City
