N.E.R.D.

Pharrell Williams and Shay Haley of high profile music group NERD recently held an intimate autograph session for fans at Hong Kong's flagship BBC | Ice Cream store. The event was marked by the release of an exclusive t-shirt which was then made available for autographs. Tomorrow night, NERD will take the stage alongside Kanye West and the Terriyaki Boys for this years World Wide Bape Heads Show.

I've noticed that Pharrell's swag has evolved again. Skinny jeans? Also...that does not look like Ice Creams on his feet. But anyways...keep doing your thing Skateboard P.

More YO! MTV Raps...

The incredible success of Puma's recent detailing of classic hip-hop has inevitably led to their third release revolving around the iconic TV show Yo! MTV Raps. Ironically, the program is set for a return of re-run episodes later this month on April 20th. This most recent pack of sneakers includes the First Round & the Suede. Available mid-March at select Puma retailers.

The sheer dopeness of the whole pack makes me wonder why I've only worn my Big Daddy Kane's once to date. Guess I have too many flii shoes. (lol) I'd be lying if I told you I didn't want these. Only one word needed...YO!

Skull Tee...

I've been big on streetwear for some time. But I was wondering...why does it always seems like the hot shit is originating in the far east lately. This example continues the trend...Sense Organ Lab x Leftfoot T-shirt.
With design work coming from talented Taiwanese based artist Jahan, retailers Sense Organ Lab and Leftfoot have teamed up for this collaborative effort. A black t-shirt can be seen with a skull and bones and the names of both stores. The project marks the fledging Taiwanese market which has expanded rapidly in recent times.

You just can't hate on this swag. I like!

Get In The Know...

Hey now! It's ya boy TIGGA TIGGA here...with the latest FAKE REPORT!!! Coming straight from the tables of Baltimore's famous Patapsco flea market, which just happens to be where fake sneakers are sold all year 'round. While walking thru, I happened to spy a pair of Nike SBs that were recently released in skateboard shops, only a few weeks back if I recall correctly. Yes, I'm talking about the Motley Crue album inspired "DR. FEELGOOD" Dunks. And yes, they have been faked!!! For all those that don't know what I'm talking about, check the pic.

That's a real pair that may cost you $100.00 to $125.00 out the door of your local Skateboard shop. But for $79.99, you can get a knock-off that looks just as similiar. All I can say is, "What the fuck?" The bootleggin' game is crazy. Now they making fake SBs before they even sell out in the actual skateshops.
To conclude...when your chillin' in the hood and you see a corner boy who doesn't skate wearing a newly released pair of SB dunks, You might get a puzzled look from him when you ask cuz' what SB shop he copped them from. Real recognizes real, huh?!

Until next time, It's ya boy TIGGA TIGGA, with the FAKE REPORT!!!

Shop:Gentei...

Yesterday, I made a trip to Baltimore's favorite concept store (Shop:Gentei) to check out their recent re-design. After walking thru the door...I was amazed by the job that was done. Strobe-lights, Old skool Conian (yes...the 80's Boombox) styled lightings, the paint splashes on the floor, PIFF!
But flash without substance is nothing. So let's mention the huge assortment of Vans that were showcased throughout the store (Sk8 Hi's and mids, Chukka lows, Half Cabs, etc)...Its' all there. For all you Nike lovers...check out their Nike section that includes the infared inspired Court Forces. For those that covet runners...the Patta Air Max 95s, both Nike Safari colorways, & the recent Air Structure Triax are available. They also carry Gourmet for you independent brand luvers. And last but not least, the clothing section is layered with the latest in streetwear and underground fashion. Yes my clothing conniseurs...they got you covered!

Anybody that's in the Baltimore area...do your self a favor and get to the store, asap. You won't be dissapointed. Whattup Oliver?

Converse x Dr. Romanelli...

The latest artist to contribute to the humanitarian project Converse (Product) Red is none other than apparel customizer Dr. Romanelli. Famous for his customized jackets and the use of vintage materials, he has created a band-aid Chuck Taylor which I think has a deeper meaning of 'band-aiding' or fixing the problem with AIDS. Recently released at select Converse dealers, they've been literally flying off the shelves.

Yours truly was fortunate enough to snag a pair. As you can see, this is another example of innovation...from a non-Nike brand. I won't be wearing these babies for a while.

Stussy D.C. Grand Opening Party!

Last night...ya' boy Mr. Piff & my partner in crime Muff, attended Stussy D.C.'s grand opening party held at Club Chloe. My guess was that the weather (endless rain) would have dampened a lot of people's party spirits. Oh was I ever wrong!!! The club was so packed, that there was a line extending up the street just to attend the function...in the rain. It's a good thing I got that VIP thing goin' on. (Whattup Adrian?)

Once inside, the club was jammed pack with the areas sneaker luvers & shoeheads. The music was on point thanks to DJ Doddie Fresh from Audio Ammo. And the night concluded with the world's famous, the diabolical Biz Markie on the wheels of steel. Shoutouts to all those that attended the party, and special shouts to my homies Shuman15, Dizzy, Ravi, Boney Starks, Scott Scotch, Jupeezy, Shortypop, Cpualo90, Sneakerman Dan, & Idolkicks.
