Just over a year ago, Nike Basketball debuted the Nike Vault: the premium basketball destination in Los Angeles. Inspired by Kobe Bryant, the Nike Vault is located in the same building where he won five championships. To celebrate its One Year Anniversary, the Nike Vault is releasing a Special Pack featuring my favorite colorway of Zoom Kobe VI I’ve seen thus far, a AW-77 hoodie, and Safety Deposit Box.
The shoe features the Nike Vault signature colors of Black, Charcoal Gray, White, and Gold and includes significant numbers relevant to the Nike Vault in the first year.
This Saturday, September 17 at 12pm, Nike Vault will be releasing 24 Nike Vault One Year Anniversary Packs. They will be available at first come, first serve and priced at $424. Read the rest of this entry »

PBR asked us to submit entries for their 2011 PBR Art & Design Shirt-Off contest and we’re asking you to vote! CrowdTogether, the website that’s hosting the contest currently has our entries, but the images are very small and don’t do our graphics justice, so we’ve decided to post them here in full detail.
The submission deadline keeps getting mysteriously pushed back… So much for hitting a deadline! I had my entry ready weeks ago and was waiting until the last minute so as to NOT show my cards. But you can now see what I did and 1-up me if you like. Sigh… I guess it’s really not that serious.
The good news is: if you’d like to submit your own entry, you still have time.
The NIKE MAG is no longer the “greatest shoe never made.” The mythical shoe that originally captured the imagination of audiences in Back to the Future II is being released – and they’re here to help create a future without Parkinson’s disease.
1500 pairs of the 2011 NIKE MAG will be auctioned on eBay with all net proceeds going directly to The Michael J. Fox Foundation. Each day for the duration of the ten-day auction, one hundred and fifty pairs of the 2011 NIKE MAG shoes will be made available via eBay’s Fashion Vault. The auction starts September 8, 11:30PM EST, and will end September 18. Thanks to a previous 50 million dollar match given to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, all donations will be matched, effectively doubling the contributions from the auction.
The original NIKE MAG was worn by the Back to the Future character Marty McFly, played by Michael J. Fox, in the year 2015. It came alive, lit up and formed to Marty’s foot. The 2011 NIKE MAG shoe was designed to be a precise replica of the original from Back to the Future II. The aesthetic is an exact match, down to the contours of the upper, the glowing LED panel and the electroluminescent NIKE in the strap. The 2011 NIKE MAG illuminates with the pinch of the “ear” of the high top, glowing for five hours per charge.
Great Scott Marty! I’m assuming this can only mean one thing… Nike has decided to release the Marty McFly Air Mag from Back to the Future 2! This is an early surprise to all in the sneaker world, as some of us weren’t expecting an announcement of these proportions until 2015! Read the rest of this entry »
Atlanta’s favorite record store has announced that it will be shutting its doors as early as November of this year. The company owes a significant amount of money to the IRS and the plan is to liquidate everything in the store. If you want to read more into the details of the story, click over to this Paste article.
In the Paste article, store owner Eric Levin states, “Maybe the community will rally. I hope that people want to be a part of a rescue attempt”. Do you know what that means to me? That means there is hope to keep these doors open! Although the odds are against us, we need to do something to save Criminal Records! For starters, you should:
1) “Like” the Save Criminal Records Facebook Page.
2) Go to Criminal Records asap and pick up an album or two. Yes I’m talking to you! Get your lazy ass up and pay for hard copies of the albums you’ve pirated.
Stay in the loop on upcoming events Save Criminal Records Facebook Page, and we’ll do our best to relay any pertinent information to you as well.
I’ve spent so many hours discovering new music in the old & new Criminal Records locations and I have amazing memories of in-store performances & appearances. It’d be a damn shame for this Atlanta institution to disappear. Additionally, thanks to Eric Levin for the opportunity to do design work for Criminal Records over the years. It’s been an honor.

Every year in late July, hoards of passionate fans flock to San Diego for the annual Comic Con International convention. San Diego is transformed, with storm troopers walking the streets and huge movie ads covering the surrounding hotels. It’s insanity.
For the past three summers, I’ve been lucky enough to be able to attend Comic Con, and every year has been crazier than the next. I saw the first footage ever shown of James Cameron’s Avatar, Harrison Ford brought out onto the stage in handcuffs, and Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson sharing the same stage in front of a room packed with over 6000 people. This year was no exception, and having just returned from a weekend of nerdy craziness, I thought I’d share some of the highlights of this years con and give you all a taste of what the Comic Con experience is like. Read out my day-by-day recap after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
While I was in New York last summer for World Basketball Festival, there was much talk of how Kevin Durant had not yet played at NYC’s outdoor basketball mecca, Rucker Park. Well, it seems that an appearance of KD at Rucker was well worth the wait, because he scored 66 points in 1 game the other day. Whaaa?!?!? Video after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
