Years ago, Tyrrell Winston began scavenging trash around his Brooklyn, NY neighborhood to utilize as materials for his collage artworks and sculptures. Winston is especially privy to using discarded cigarette butts, basketballs, and nets for his latest pieces. Oftentimes, the LA-born creative would walk for miles to collect trash for repurposing — a charitable and meaningful endeavor for the artist who aims to shed light on the stories behind every ditched item he gathers. “The perfect basketball is weathered and worn. The perfect broken net is a rusted metal chainlink net that is totally mangled. The perfect cigarette to me is a Winston cigarette. I’m biased, my last name is Winston,” he said. 

“[The cigarette] would have lipstick on it and it wouldn’t be too smashed up. It would still be firm.”

Can they please make this movie. This looks amazing. 

Why karate? Watch the official teaser trailer for THE ART OF SELF DEFENSE

 A dark comedy set in the world of karate. The film centers on Casey (Jesse Eisenberg), who is attacked at random on the street and enlists in a local dojo led by a charismatic and mysterious Sensei (Alessandro Nivola), in an effort to learn how to defend himself. What he uncovers is a sinister world of fraternity, violence and hypermasculinity and a woman (Imogen Poots) fighting for her place in it. Casey undertakes a journey, both frightening and darkly funny, that will place him squarely in the sights of his enigmatic new mentor.

Boom, guess who stepped in the room. With the YAHHHH. Rest in peace to ODB as you can see. 

All that is ODB lyrics besides the "Rest In Peace". Which if you think about it, is something he would say too.  Legend. I don't even know why I even started it like that but here we are. Easter is around the way I would say you should get ready but okay. We getting fresh today. People still say that "Getting Fresh", "Staying fresh". Talk to me.

2018 | January 2019

Is 2019 February the oddest Black History Month in the history of Black History?  Cause it seem like all the shits was happening in that short of a time. The Oscars came and saved it all. Congrats to Spike. They finally did the right thing. I'm sorry, I had to say it. I know it was corny. I'll shut up now. 

  Each and every month I will bring you the five post that everybody has been loving the most from my blog.

Random Want: Milwaukee 2494-22 M12 Cordless Combination

That's the five for this year. Did your favorite make the list? Let me know in the comment section or on  Twitter and Facebook.I didn't mean to write Facebook but yeah that too. I meant Instagram.

Made in conjunction with Jerry Lorenzo‘s Fear of God brainchild, this clunky model has been dressed in the subtle “Light Bone” tone from its upper and cross straps all the way across to its midsole. The only contrasting details are the black Swooshes that wrap around the back heel, the inner sole, and the small “Air Fear of God” decal on the lace buckle along with an icy blue semi-translucent window on the midsole which showcases the Air unit.

Named and inspired after Charle’s Barkley’s Air Force 180 as well as NSW’s Air 180, look for the Nike Air Fear of God 180 “Light Bone” to hit select Nike retailers, nike.com and Fear of God locations in the upcoming weeks. Keep it locked here for more details.





 

Nike is adding another American city-themed silhouette to the “Home and Away” pack after the recent drop of the Dallas-inspired Air Max 97. This time around, the Swoosh brand offers two varying color schemes of the Air Max 270, paying tribute to the “Emerald City” — Seattle.

Multiple Swoosh motifs are scattered throughout the mesh upper while the tinge of the lace stays alternate between the two supplementary tones. As a nod to the West Coast metropolis, its area code “206” is embossed on the medial side. A branded heel strap rest atop the interchangeable adhesive badge and finishing off the sporty look is a translucent bubble heel, hugely increasing the sneakers’ comfortability.

Coming in a Seattle Supersonics or Seahawks-inspired color schemes, the Nike Air Max 270 duo is set to launch on March 8 exclusively at Foot Locker, along with a campaign video featuring Seattle stars like Doug Baldwin, Ralph Sugultan and more.






 

The latest color scheme welcomes back its racing-inspired checkerboard print with its lateral Swoosh logos done in vivid Volt. Additionally, you’ll find the React Element’s taped seam with white stitching on the heel counter dipped in Crimson while both bright supporting colors are also placed on the lightweight foam react outsole.

This iteration of the Nike React Element 55 is expected to arrive this Spring for $130 USD at select Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike.com.

USAopoly, board game distributor and licensor, have just created a Rick and Morty version to the classic Operation game.

Just like the the original Operation, players will test their physical abilities as they remove parts from the cardboard cadaver — except this time around, organ names have been replaced with “Funatomy” pieces that are contained within “Anatomy Park” host, Ruben. Just like the animated show, Ruben contains a cocktail of illness-themed attractions ranging from Cerebral Cortex Carousel, Haunted Liver, Pirates of the Pancreas, Colon Log, Sphincter Dam, and Bone Train, to name a few, and it is the players job to remove each bodily “attraction” without touching the forceps to the metal edges of the game; with each successful removal of an illness, players are rewarded with varying amounts of play money.

Due to the subject nature of the Rick And Morty “Doctor” and “Specialist” cards, this version of Operation is for ages 17+. Those looking for this version of the classic game can find it over at Amazon for a price of $30 USD. Click here to buy.

Also Rick and Morty Anatomy Park Game.

The Vans Tie Dye pack is inspired by San Francisco‘s famed Haight and Ashbury streets, in which the colorful hand-dyed pattern has been a prominent technique for decades. Vans relied upon digital printing to execute the eclectic design of each shoe, which is offered in three bold colorways of red, yellow and green. The vibrant primary-hued palette is accentuated with a black binding stripe along the tongue, as well as black laces. Each shoe also features white eyelets, which provide a small neutral touch. The usual double-stitched upper remains in tact, as well as traditional branding hits on the insole, quarter logo and heel logo areas.

Expect the Tie Dye collection to be available in Vans stores and online at Vans.com beginning in March.

Amalgamating modern designs with a ’90s-inspired model, adidas Originals returns to drop another boisterous colorway of the TRESC Run.

Mixing different textures on the uppers, the hybrid silhouette clashes the core black mesh with suede and leather overlays. Hits of faint yellow appear on the mudguards and midfoot flame motifs, while the lace stays and Three Stripes insignias are dressed with various shades of grey. Solidifying the up-to-date look are the clean white BOOST sole units, adding extra cushioning to the feet.

Priced at $130 USD, the new adidas TRESC Run is currently available for purchase at select retailers like Champs.
