Sha' Mone...Sha' Mone!
Michael Joseph Jackson 8/29/58 - 6/25/09
It's still hard to believe that the "King of Pop" is gone.
Michael Jackson, a man blessed with so many talents. Child star, incredible singer (Sha' Mone), dazzling performer. He is the best selling solo male artist in music history & the architect of so many distinct dance moves (moonwalk, crotch grab, leg twitch) that it remains the most mimicked style of dance for todays entertainers. No joke...choreographers make a living imitating this man. lol His sense of fashion was so unique...the white glove, the red leather jacket, the high waters with the white socks. I could go on & on.
Jackson was so superhumanly talented...but in the end he was still human. Yes, he lived a questionable lifestyle. Yes, he was accused of moral wrong doings. Yes, the constant altering of his appearance could have indirectly resulted in him passing before either of his parents. I condone none of this. But still I will not cast any stones because I'm not perfect. Dwell on the negative I won't. Instead I will remember the man that changed the music landscape as we know it. I will remember the man that remains the greatest entertaining I've seen in my lifetime, a man that sold out coliseums, not night clubs. A man of color that became so revered, statues were built in his honor.
There will never be another....
RIP Michael Jackson "BAD"
BTW...I can't seem to shake the fact that on 6/20/09...just 5 days prior to Michael Jackson's untimely passing, Hong Kong based Juice (CLOT) opened their new store to the people of Kuala Lumpur featuring this tee...pixelated image & all. I'm willing to bet my right arm these tees fetch a grip right now.
It's almost like they knew. Don't this seem somewhat prophetic?

K.I.I.T.C.
Peep The "Out In The City!" vids...as The K.I.I.T.C. Crew, Brad Piff & Arcieri Keness takes it to the streets for some fun in the sun. Joined by crew members Muff Ware & Jonny Stacks...we put the spotlight on Shop Gentei Towson, discuss them Air Yeezys...and get a lil' skateboarding in too.
And remember...Keness Knows!

Cyborg...
Continuing the international G-Shock craze...Cyborg 009 & Japanese brand Quolomo instilled some flavor into a Casio G-Shock original DW-5600. Based on the popular Japanese manga stemming from the 1960s, the watch itself is featured in all-white body with a black dial. Both CYBORG and Quolomo instill their monikers on the top and bottom of the watch while the watch band also features a printed design that I would classify as Dope. As part of Cyborg 009’s 25th anniversary, look out for a release on July 19th at e-casio.
Juiced....
Hong Kong's JUICE officially officially opened the doors to their latest lifestyle shop for the people of Kuala Lumpur . The store opening took place with much extravaganza including a massive line of fans waiting to get into the store to not only shop....but also to snap pics of CLOT founding and superstar Edison Chen. Although the special exclusive releases might be sold out, the shop will still be carrying the likes of CLOT, Head Porter, Head Porter Plus, OriginalFake, Medicom Toy, Nike and adidas, most of which are currently available in their Hong Kong flagship location as well.

S/DBL x Vans...
Shawn Stussy's S/Double line is collaborating with Vans on a pair of AV Sk8 lows. Dropping in two colorways, black & marine blue...these shoes featuring dope materials such as waxed leather & ballistic nylon. Here's some thoughts from the man himself on the upcoming project...
For more info, check out Shawn Stussy's blog.
I was approached by buddies at Vans to take an existing style they were already running and pick some materials, colors and such... I decided to massage the avsk8lo model because I felt they never gave this model enough love in the choices available... So here you have it, thick waxy leather up front, ballistic nylon where normally canvas would be used... Waxed cotton laces and a red leather footbed with some graphics...
