Very cool gift from Adidas.
The classic Adidas Campus returns for the “Back To Campus” campaign.
Packaged in a huge hollowed out composition notebook with Adidas branded pencils, pads and eraser, it makes me feel like I had a class to skip!

Not every interest from your youth survives the journey to maturity. From fashion to music—some things are best left on the battlefield. Other things continue to feel current and timeless no matter when you revisit.
My earliest personal memory of the Timberland 6” wheat boot is around 1993. I remember a conversation between 2 older kids with one scolding the other for wearing the “no padding” basic boot version.
“Come on son! No padding? That’s wack!”
I quickly realized that what seemed to be a subtle difference to the uninformed was an unforgivable half step. Half in the way that if you made the effort to purchase a pair of “Timbs” but didn’t know enough to choose the appropriate version, you should have just stayed away. It made you worse off.
For me, the meaning behind wearing the 10061 has varied over the years but the root of it was having “cool” footwear that could be worn (and beat to death) everyday without the adolescent stigma of not having multiple kicks on deck. It was a sign of being above the sneaker rat race.
Growing up on hip-hop music and culture had a tremendous influence on what I wore as a teen. As normal as wearing a pair of boots designed for construction work might be today, reappropriation of “work wear” was still new. My dad was a foreman in an excavation company and actually worked in what I was attempting to apply to my lifestyle. An alien concept to most—especially Pop who wished he didn’t have to work a back breaking job that required such attire. He couldn’t say anything to the kid who was entranced by the sounds of Black Moon and their Brooklyn boot-wearing cohorts. Buck Em’ Down.
Nearly 20 years after overhearing the “padding” argument, I’m still a faithful wearer of the most classic boot design ever. It’s still rooted in being above the sneaker rat race and not fully accepting the fashion parameters set by my industry. Do I indulge? Yes. Am I known for sneakers? Yes – even more the reason to rock a fresh pair of “yellows” on a regular basis.
My name is @FrankTheButcher and I rock #Timbs.

Everything Kaws touches becomes collectable — that includes a bottle of Cognac.
Kaws One has partnered with Hennessy to produce a numbered run of bottles featuring labels designed by the street turned gallery artist. In his trademark bold and colorful style, Kaws gives the 246 year old company a new outfit.
Well done and a bit of a surprise — this collaboration is a testament to the reach and mass appeal Kaws has garnered over his legendary career.

PS— I don’t drink so this bad boy will remain sealed!
Yes. They are real.
Dj Clark Kent has done it again. People waited to see what shoe he would apply his now famous “112″ make up to next. “112″ is the first 3 digits of Brooklyn’s area code series and represents Clark’s home & heart. For sneaker fans it means the perfect combination of charcoal, elephant print, neon, 3M and a rush to Ebay. For friends and family it means a special delivery once a year.
This year the “112″ didn’t hit the web alone but was accompanied by his denim version of the Lebron 8. Clark has mastered the denim, leather and gum combo on a few AF1 Bespokes and pulled it off lovely on the L8.
Both shoes will never hit retail and were produced for Lebron’s & Clark’s personal seeding lists.
Big shouts to Uncle Clark!
