For most of May 2021, Vans has centered its focus on its collaborative projects and dropped capsules with the likes of Foot Patrol, SpongeBob Squarepants and C2H4. Just before the fifth month of the year winds down to a close, the Anaheim skate brand is reverting back to its inline lineage and pushing out this playful Vans Bandana Era colorway.

All-over patterns take center stage on these street-ready kicks. The entire upper half is ornamented with orange, yellow and pink tie dye patterns from front to back and complemented by black paisley patterns that run across the toe tips and just above the midsoles on the mid-foot. Accompanying these patterns are stark black skull silhouettes that also drop off throughout the entire base layer. Shoe laces and the rims of the insides are treated with a white complexion while the insoles opt to go with a simple black and white color-blocking. A strip of black borders just below the upper, and comes stacked atop an angelic midsole and the standard waffle treading to complete its design.

Parties who fancy these wild kicks can scoop them up right now over at HBX for a budget-friendly $66 USD.

 Swatch’s latest collection celebrates the innovation of NASA with its own space-age Bioceramic case material.

Three of the five Space Collection watches take their inspiration from the various uniforms worn by the agency’s intrepid astronauts, matching the hues of the suits with its soft-touch Bioceramic, which is two-thirds ceramic and one-third bio-sourced plastic, derived from castor oil.

The 47mm Big Bold Chrono Extravehicular takes its cues from NASA’s iconic white spacesuit, first worn in 1983 by NASA astronauts Story Musgrave and Donald Peterson. Even the watch’s glass is formed of bio-sourced plastic.

The collection’s second watch, the 47mm Big Bold Chrono Launch, reflects NASA’s Advanced Crew Escape Suit which astronauts wear on their ascent into space and is known as the Pumpkin Suit for its bright orange hue.

The central seconds hands of both these chronographs do not rest at the usual 12 o’clock position, but instead 10 seconds prior, representing the final countdown to lift-off.

Big Bold Jumpsuit meanwhile references the “everyday go-to blue jumpsuits astronauts wear for press conferences or working in the NASA facility” with a crown positioned at the two o’clock.

The final two watches in the collection are Take Me to The Moon “New Gent”, with a transparent case, and Space Race “Gent”, with a mirror-effect silver-coloured dial.


Prices are not yet available, but the Space Collection drops via Swatch from June 5.

The Furyosa is close in name to an upcoming Mad Max prequel film dubbed Furiosa, and though this is entirely accidental, the design certainly wouldn’t look out of place in the world of Mad Max. Its most noticeable feature is the double-stacked Air units in the heel, each surrounded by its own shroud of EVA foam. This double-stacked style is not directly connected to the front of the midsole, making for a high-rising look, and it’s supported underfoot by a sustainable Nike Grind midsole as well.

Looking above the midsole, the upper offers a retrofuturistic look of its own with a mix of silver and black materials that range from mesh to leather and synthetics. Wavy mudguards seem to pull inspiration from the Air Max 98, with toe caps calling to mind images of the Air Max 270. There’s also a lacing system that snakes around the top of the mudguard before being tied off at the heel, a purely aesthetic piece as the core lacing system is still at its normal place on the forefoot. Extra heel padding and heel/tonge tabs round off the look.

Expect the Nike Air Max Furyosa to release via Nike SNKRS Japan on June 3, priced at approximately $177 USD. It’s a women’s style, but will be available in an extended size run. A US release is likely to follow as well.

If you didn't know, we have put some new food on the menu. You should check it out. You know you want a late night snack. The SanQuon diner is always open. Now I wanted to wear something orange today but I didn't want the sun and I to think that we're friends. At-least not friends to the point of hugging me with more rays of sun then everybody else.

 SanQuon "Class Photo"

Me and this blue are such a great combo. I try not to use it too much but I love it so much. Now smile for the camera. It's something about this blue that makes me fall in love with it. I chose this blue cause it just looks so nice. It looks and feel like love. 

 

Regular Fit Sweatshorts

Since the face won't be able to see the people but these knees will.  Keeping them out for the summer. Join me. 

The way that this tan flows so nice with the ocean blue of the shirt. 


Nike Presto

I don't have the link for this one. Sorry. They might be dead-stock? Anyways. I like to smash the colors when it finds the feet. I like my not matching but it finds its way to flow. You can't just so too far. Keep it in the same family. 


 

 

TAMBOUR MOON DUAL TIME GRAPHITE 44

I don't do too much with the watches and the wrist if I get a little color crazy on the fit.  Simple black.

Bamford London has dropped a trio of watches featuring famous Sesame Street characters on their dials, including Big Bird, Elmo and Cookie Monster.

“Who doesn’t love Sesame Street,” says George Bamford, Founder of Bamford London. “The brand has reached far and wide, and we are so happy to partner with Sesame Street and have these iconic characters on the dial of our watches. We love the wonderful nostalgia these characters provide and the splash of fun and colour which can brighten up your day when you look down at your wrist.”

Bamford is known for his love of playful cartoon character watches, having released both Popeye and Snoopy watches in recent months.



 

The new watches see Big Bird taking over Bamford London’s GMT dual timer, while Cookie Monster owns the Mayfair Date and Elmo takes a starring role on the Mayfair Sport.

Bamford will be producing 20 pieces of the 40mm yellow and black Big Bird GMT, which features a Sellita SW330-2 movement, priced £1,600 GBP ($2,255 USD).

The striking blue Cookie Monster Mayfair Date is a 50-piece limited edition, waterproof to 100m and featuring a Swiss Ronda 715 Date quartz movement, priced £475 GBP ($670 USD).

The final watch in the collection, a Mayfair Sport, hands a starring role to Elmo, Sesame Street’s eternal optimist, who is surrounded on the dial by musical notes and encased in a bright red high impact polymer case, bezel and rubber strap.

The 50-piece run uses a Miyota quartz movement, is water resistant to 100m and is priced £400 GBP ($560 USD). All of the watches, which drop today via Bamford London, are presented in a textured yellow Big Bird-style presentation box.

Polo. Muthafucking Polo. You can't be doing this to me and my bank account. I am trying to chill and then here we go. Kicking in my back with some of this fire. You can't be doing this to me. You can't be making things like this and leave off my team. Where the Braves? Why we didn't cut? Our colors are cool too. Let us get in on this right here. I think I did enough talking. Let's get to what I drop the dough on. 

 

 Ralph Lauren Dodgers Sweatshirt  

I'm keeping it in the 90's Hip Hop bag for this one. You know, toss on the team just cause you like the look of it. Cause I don't fuck with the Dodgers. They keep knocking my Braves out but dope is dope.  

 


  Ralph Lauren Dodgers Polo Shirt 

When I tell you I love this blue to the ends of the earth. This is my blue. I love this blue. It's something about it. Looks warm and I bet it just is that. 

 Ralph Lauren Cubs Polo Shirt 

The cubbies.  


Okay, that's about it. It's hot so I had to talk myself outta buying the jackets but I did it. Which did it? The world will never know.

However, the rough-and-tumble streetball sneaker originally endorsed by Tim Hardaway has now arrived in a light and airy “White/Gum Light Brown” makeup that’s ideal for the summer — no matter if you’re hoopin’ or lampin’.

High-cut uppers top their sturdy ballistic mesh base with tumbled leather overlays, all of which are dressed in white. Signature detail is served by criss-crossing fabric straps on the forefoot, secured by a Velcro anchor point on each side of the collar. Though the Air Raid is one of the rare Nike Sportswear sneakers to be Swooshless, its branded hits arrive on the tongue, the lateral side’s strap anchor and the aforementioned “For Outdoor Use Only” heel hit. Midsoles continue the tonal white stylings, but gum outsoles bring a finishing touch of contrast into play by creeping up onto the heel, toe bumper and forefoot, the last location of which secures the straps at their bottom.

The Nike Air Raid “White/Gum Light Brown” will release on the Nike webstore come May 7. Its MSRP is set at $140 USD. r the summer — no matter if you’re hoopin’ or lampin’.
