UNSCHLD 2012 SEPTEMBER COLLECTION

I'm a guy who puts a lot of thought into what I wear. I was raised that way - to look decent, or at the very least, clean. I was told that it's the subtlest way of showing people respect.

In the same manner, the brands that we feature on the site reflect not just what the culture is currently into, but also who we are through the joints we put on.

If a certain brand is on the site, chances are they are good at what they do. Chances are they have something that no one offers - good materials, great craftmanship, quality construction...

Some brands have been featured once. A few, twice or more... But as I was preparing this post, it occurred to me that the homeboys from UNSCHLD have been featured on the site 18 times!

Eighteen solid posts, not counting this.

Friendship aside, though - this is a testament to the quality of work that they put in each and every single release. September is no different. Peep the familia's collection for my 2nd favorite month of the year.

KANYE WEST X GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI "CRUEL SUMMER" SHOE

This one is for the ladies.

Kanye West teams up once again with Italian shoemaker Giuseppe Zanotti for a Grecian inspired sandal to celebrate G.O.O.D. Music's CRUEL SUMMER release. The sexy stiletto mimics the album's cover art perfectly.

With the price tag still under wraps, I don't think I'll be buying my girl a pair anytime soon; Kanye and Giuseppe's last collab pair went for $5,800.00... Retail!

If you're into anything Kanye and your girl's got expensive taste, better get those European connects on speed dial. No drop date on these yet, but these will go fast.

VANS NOW AVAILABLE AT WELEGENDARY

VANS is on a roll as of late. Fresh from their very successful event last Saturday, it seems that the locally revitalized skate and lifestyle brand can not be stopped.

I will admit that I know little about the brand, and I would like to know them better. They have been churning out hot releases lately, and I think the buzz around the brand is growing bigger and bigger each day.

It's a shame that I only have a couple of pairs in my closet. I should kick myself, I know... But with this bit, I no longer have any excuse not to expand my line-up!

Everybody's favorite skateshop and familia WeLegendary is now game to supply you with VANS' feet cocaine!

A DAY IN THE LIFE, Vol. "COLE WORLD"

So nice...

...I had to do it twice.


Thank you.
A day in the life.

THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE

Happy birthday to the sexiest and most beautiful supermodel in the world!
I know it's not your best photo, but you and Cess look mad cute in this one...

Haha! I'm kidding! I love you, Dear... And happy birthday!

TITAN X NIKE AIR FORCE 1 XXX "GOLD" RELEASE RECAP

The great thing about mid-week releases is you get to have a little spirit boost to get you thru the week.

Last Wednesday, September 12, Titan dropped the much coveted Nike Air Force 1 Low Supreme I/O TZ 30th Anniversary - Pearl Collection "Gold" (I'll give you a second to catch your breath...)

PHIL KNIGHT BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME SPEECH

Phil Knight, co-founder and current Chairman of Nike, Inc, summed it all up in this phrase:

"As Bernard Malamud pointed out 'Without heroes we don't know how far we can go", and we saw that as part of our job.

And what a fun job it was - to expand heroes in the public consciousness. A task done right not only sell shoes, but expands the game."

NIKE AIR FORCE 1 XXX "GOLD" AVAILABLE AT TITAN

A couple of weeks ago we featured the Nike Air Force 1 Low Supreme I/O TZ 30TH Anniversary 'Pearl Collection'. The story was published a couple of days before the supposed release date. It was very hard for an uptown-head such as myself not to be excited - as you can see, this shoe is very hard to hate.

But when the August 31st release date came and went, Air Force 1 enthusiasts just had to accept their eBay-bound fate.

Till today.

A DAY IN THE LIFE, Vol. "HONG KONG HAUL"

It's not much of a haul, but I think it is worth sharing.

I just got back from a quick trip to Hong Kong. I was not able to go to any of the usual spending stops because we had to follow a very tight schedule. It was fun nonetheless.

I was able to cop a couple of things that I think made my quick trip special. Thank God for dope HK newsstands!
