The Spike Lee Nike Air Safari Nike Air 87 is close to the OG Safari with it’s Orange, Black, and Safari colorway while adding Yellow contrast stitching and Red around the ankle lining.

DJ AM X Nike Dunk High Premium

November 30, 2009 · Leave a Comment

The passing of DJ AM (Adam Goldstien) hit home for a lot of folks, even down here in the DMV with the Crew.  Here we see his work and legacy as a true sneaker collector continue through this release of the Dunk High Premium bearing his name.  The model shown here is a signature model that features his name and logo on the tongue. The classic colorway of black and red, along with the traditional Dunk colorblocking, make this a great classic model. 3M is used on the swoosh to bisect the sneaker and it’s also used behind the Technics 1200 turntable-inspired perforations on the heel in gradient dots. Check back with the Crew for more information on this highly-anticipated release (which the Crew will undoubtedly put hands on).

We also urge everyone to PLEASE jump over to DJ AM’s website (www.djam.com) and donate to his cause of helping people battle addiction.  The Crew definitely hit up the website and donated to the cause.  Please, donate what you can there, and even jump over to the  DJ AM memorial fund Ebay auctions to see if you want to grab one of many iconic pairs of sneakers from DJ AM’s collection.

Rest in Peace DJ AM!

Casio G-Shock, watch of choice

November 30, 2009 · Leave a Comment

While on Thanksgiving break, had a family member to ask one of our Crew about their watch of choice.  And for a couple of us in the Crew, the Casio G-Shock watch is a must wear for any occasion.  Pictured below is Chuck’s small, but useful collection.  The stainless steel one is for “work”, the white one is for the red carpet, and the black one is for shoveling snow and working on RC cars.

Found this exploded view of a G-Shock on the web, but could not find a parts list to coincide with the numbers.  But you still see from the pic below that from layers 1 through 4, you get some real protection for the internal components that keep your G-Shock tickin’.  Check out Casio’s G-Shock page for more info.

Back from the turnpike of seemingly no return…

November 29, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Part of the Crew is back from visiting beautiful New Jersey for Thanksgiving.  Coming back last night was CRAAAAZZZYYYY!  Anyone coming from NJ/NY back to DMV was truly upset.  Took an hour and a half to get out of a rest area, and 7 hours and 15 minutes to get from north NJ back to DMV (mind you it only took 4 hours to get to NJ).  Insane…

BlakRoc Chevorlet Camaro…All black everything!

November 29, 2009 · Leave a Comment

The Crew definitely wishes we could get our hands on this baby.  We’d hit the beltway and go pedal to floorboard!

Carl Black Chevrolet will be the world wide exclusive outlet to offer the official BlakRoc Chevy Camaro.

The 2010 Chevy Camaro speaks for itself with its sculptured body and passionate engineering that left nothing to be desired. Carl Black has simply added the sizzle to match the passion and creativity of the BlakRoc project.

From the ground up, the BlakRoc Camaro has been equipped with sleek, stylish accents that tie in with the BlakRoc brand. Starting with the BR logo inlayed front and center.

Blacking it out turns up the heat. The windows are tinted, the taillights are smoked, and even the Chevy bow tie goes dark to complete the look. The Black on Black classic combination subtly comes to life with flat black racing stripes front to back with the BlakRoc logo inlayed in metallic on the hood and rear spoiler.

Interior includes the BlakRoc logo embedded in custom design kick plates and black on black BR logo custom embroidered on center console.

The BlakRoc Chevy Camaro is now available for purchase.

Everybody in the Crew knows Futura, and he stands as one of our favorite artists.  He is a legend in the art world, and here he has done it again with his work on creating a case for the iPhone.
