STREETWEAR ▲: Dehen Jackets for adidas Originals + Brooklyn Nets

I first seen this during a NBA post-game show, and immediately wanted to know where to purchase it. I'm not a fan of the Brooklyn Nets so much, but adidas Originals is where it's at! Apparently these are only for "Friends & Family," and a few were given away at KITH (store in Brooklyn) in a kit that included other goods as well. Check the video below as per what went into the construction of the jacket by Dehen Jackets in Portland, Oregon.

Photo 2: Mercedes-Benz being weighed down by what was a big tree.

STREETWEAR ▲ Gourmet x Mitchell & Ness - Vintage Satin NY Yankees Jacket

I knew about these two weeks ago when the email went out late night about this new co-branded project. Anyway, these are dope, real dope, but a bit pricey the circumstances of my region. Nevertheless, the good folks at Gourmet and Mitchell & Ness produce a Cooperstown Collection classic, and it's still available.

- Brand-new, 1988 NY Yankees vintage replica satin jacket
- Leopard printed full-grain calf tanned suede arms
- One layer tackle twill front chest logo
- Embroidered twill sleeve patch, with snap front closure
- Heavy-weight ribbed neck, waist and wrist, with silk liner
- Traditional Fit, but this style fits a little roomier in the sleeve & body

*Side Note: They also created a Boston Redsox jacket as well.

Purchase: Gourmet x Mitchell & Ness - Vintage Satin NY Yankees Jacket

ART ▲: UFO Fev - "Return Flight" (Art by EHT Mills)

At this moment in my life, I want nothing more than to hear three things: The voice of my Grandmother everyday, a Stack Bundles album, and THIS again!

UFO Fev let me listen to Return Flight about a month or so ago, and it's his best work. The project has eight original songs, which means the Mile High general is definitely going to takeoff on people, so in retrospect it should have been called the "Connecting Flight", lol. But all jokes aside, this shit go hard, and I can't wait for you to listen it!

Coming Soon...

NEW YORK CITY ▲: Upper West Side (Hurricane Sandy Photos)

Photos by Troy Paraiso*

Sandy was rough, but we made it through on the Upper West Side, NYC. It was like nothing I've ever endured, and some people in my City lost more than a few trees on their block. No, I'm not lucky, I'm blessed.

That lead photo is actually a shot from me, standing on the West Side Highway. Yes, it was closed down, so we had to sneak down there past police. Also, that second to last photo is a suv with the rear window busted out from a tree.
