American Hardcore

Man, this movie kicked so much ass! I knew nothing about the hardcore punk scene in the early 80’s and this documentary covers the genre pretty thoroughly. Amazing how short this period of music lasted, maybe 5 or 6 years? Great interviews from Black Flag, Minor Threat, Bad Brains and more.

Jordan III

Nice! The Jordan III’s haven’t been retroed in a minute. They drop March 24th in a Fire Red colorway. Be prepared for line-ups at your local Nike Town. I plan on being on one!

Gonz Superskate Vulcanized Slip-On Shoes

Gonz Shoes

I need to get a pair of these new Adidas Superskate shoes by Mark Gonzales. They’ve had the superskate out for awhile but these are really nice. Black banding along the sole, green stripes, and a white canvas show off Gonz’s art and signature.

You can pick em up here.

Agassi Challenge Court

In junior high I couldn’t afford to get these. I had already gotten Air Huaraches so I was banned from yet another pair of kicks. Luckily, Nike in all their infinite wisdom has decided to re-release the Agassi endorsed Nike Air Challenge Court this spring, and now that I’m an adult (my better half would say otherwise) I’ll be copping a pair or two. There is some controversy however among the hardcore retro community in that they’re not genuine retro, the challenge court logo on the back and tongue have been replaced with a swoosh-type symbol an the colors aren’t exactly the same. Ah well…

Jordan Pack

Feeling these Jordan inspired Nike Dunk series that just dropped. Had to go out and cop a pair before they all disappeared. Each design emulates an original shoe from the Jordan series. I got my hands on the black Jordan IV Dunk.

The North Face x Supreme

nrthsprm1.jpg

I don’t usually fall for collaborations, but this one is incredible. Mix one of the most respected outerwear companies with one of the most respected streetwear companies and you have The North Face x Supreme Summit Series jacket. Comes in two fresh colorways and peep the inner lining; the cheetah print is already huge in Japan so look for it on almost every t-shirt, hoodie, and sneaker this spring. Be the first to rock it. Jacket drops March 2nd exclusively at all Supreme shops worldwide.

If you’re looking to get in the sneaker game, or just wanting to learn more about it, this is a great documentary. Just For Kicks profiles the rise of sneaker culture and interviews those who have played key roles in it’s history. You’ll hear stories from the front lines of digging, collecting, even how not to get vicked!

weekly.jpg

Weekly Drop is a podcast giving you the latest from the sneaker and streetwear scene. Hosted by industry gurus Jeff Carvalho, Rob Heppler, and Frank the Butcher, this show also serves up some great interviews with the likes of Dave White, Mr. Cartoon, Jeff Staple, Stash, Dave Ortiz, and David Gensler. They don’t update as much as I’d like, but it’s always a great morning when the updating icon pops up next to Weekly Drop in the iTunes playlist.
