Lupe Fiasco- Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free)

Here's Lupe's first single off of "Food & Liquor II" which is set for a September 25th release.

Nike WMNS Air Max 1 "Leopard Pack" and Liberty x Nike Air Max 1

Who doesn't love Air Max's? And what woman doesn't like leopard print? Some guys even like it, maybe just on shoes. I definitely like these. The "Leopard Pack" combines suede, leopard print, and nylon to create a very aesthetic colorway of an already popular Air Max 1. I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for the big sizes since these are in women's sizes.

Also Nike collaborated with Liberty of London again, but this time with the WMNS Air Max 1. Check it.

Jordan Super Fly

I think Jordan Brand has finally come out with a new basketball shoe that people will like... the Jordan Super Fly. It's a comfortable, lightweight shoe that looks good. It kinda takes on some attributes from the Jordan 2012, but it looks a lot better. Expect this to hit stores around late June for $140. Check it out.

"Pass to Kobe..."

Even the MVP agrees with us...

Most Violent Player.

Nike Lebron 9 Low "Bringing Sand to the Beach"

People are starting to get sick of the "South Beach" colorway. For those of you who don't know, it is the Aqua/Pink combination. Mache Customs, however, managed to put together a sweet custom. He used the Lebron 9 Low "Floridians" as the base and used a combination of the Lebron 8 "South Beach/Pre Heat" and Lebron 8 Low "Miami Nights". The name of the custom is rather self explanatory. Let me know what you think!

All the Ronnie Fieg collaborations I've seen with Asics have been BEAUTIFUL to me. I want almost every single one, especially the Rose Golds. Now he's collaborated with New Balance again for red and green holiday releases. Check it out.
