Losing Greats

1936-2012. The timeline in between is one wrought with innovation, creativity and dedication. Don Cornelius, renowned creator of the classic variety/performance show ‘Soul Train’ was found with an allegedly self-inflicted gunshot wound in his Los Angeles residence. He was later pronounced dead at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center at 4:56 AM. I’d rather not harp on the tragic details and would prefer to go into the importance of his role in music today.

Dries Van Noten Fall - Ready to Wear

Dries Van Noten claimed he was bringing together two key flavors of Fall—David Bowie and the Ballets Russes—in his new womenswear collection. When he sat photos of Bowie as Ziggy Stardust next to iconic images of Nijinsky dancing, he was struck by the similarities. But that was Dries alone at home with his thoughts. On his catwalk those inspirations were so thoroughly absorbed into a heady collage of color, print, and texture that specific references were irrelevant. Bowie gave Dries his song "Heroes" to remix for the soundtrack (2 Many DJs performed the honors), and its yearning surge set the tone. "Not heroic," clarified the designer, "but romantic. I think 'Heroes' is one of the most passionate songs ever, and I am passionate about this collection." View more

AIR JORDAN 2012 (WOLF GREY)

February 2, 2012 | Posted by Jay Lindor in Footwear, Style No comments

The Air Jordan 2012 is just around the corner, and here’s a close-up look at one of the first cuts, the neon soaked Wolf Grey colourway. The dress shoe detailing has definitely divided a lot of JB heads, but with three different performance insoles, removable booties and a Flywire upper we’re guessing that these are going to be the business on court where it counts. Packed in a three-tray box the size of a bedside chest of drawers, check out the up-close pics below courtesy of Nice Kicks.
