Air Jordan III "True Blue"









Jordan Brand has made this the year of the IIIs with the release of the White Cement and BHM Js thus far. Summer is sure to not disappoint with the release of the AJ III "True Blues". Originally re-released in 2009 in Asia, and now dropping stateside on June 19th for both the fellas and little feet in GS sizing. The silhouette we’ve come to love and know in all white shoe is complete with iconic elephant print on the heel, toe box and lower eyelets, coupled with just enough blue accents to break up the monotony.





Cloud 10's New Music Video Spot: Lady Gaga - Born This Way

See what I mean yo??

I really need to have a stern word with Lady GaDAMNIDOTHEMOSTALLTHETIME's pusher because the shit she is on was cultivated on the former planet that had its whole KUFI snatched and cunt punted: Pluto.   Did yall see that opening montage? I'm tired of being high and not even signing up as a apart of an experiment..
Yeah....

I swear The Cell and Donnie Darko's creators/directors could not do enough LSD laced with PCPs and a sprinkle of spray paint to equate Lady Gaga's creative, diabolical juices.  My head hurt and I feel like I just skipped a couple of stones off of Cloud 12, 13 and 18. I'm too old for this shit man, Gaga's birthing ambiguous gobs of matter that look like brains. I SAID FUCK SCHOOL!! Can we get Gaga's dealer on 60 Minutes, Larry King's old show or Oprah??

Cloud 10's Special Report: Charlie Sheen

Tryna make me go to rehab I say... NO NO NOOOOO

Can we all agree to give an uncomfortable, old church lady glare when you were caught sneaking more food from the Refreshments section to Carlos Irwin Estevez aka Charlie Sheen.  Charlie, sir, YOU LIE (c) Joe Wilson, you haven't been clean since Della Reese was a size 2!  The fact that drugs are currently hoola hooping with your red blood cells yo!! Its time for a hard hand to intervene! You're erratic, angry at the wrong people, suffering from grandiose thoughts.

Carlos, you pretty much just lost your job on a successful sitcom 'Two and Half Men' since they shut down production.  You're dating a porn star (Capri Anderson I've reviewed some of her work and... GOOD CALL CARLOS.. ahem) and some other rundown broad who both live in your house.  Sir, you're 45 and living the great AINT SHIT FELLA dream, you call your drug Charlie Sheen?  ? Is that the same crack that Whitney so effusively denied?  Ladies and gents Charlie Sheen is floating 20,000 feet above the rest of us mortals 24/7 with no scheduled landing schedule.

When your support network/friends include Colin Farrell and Sean Penn....... O_o YOU NEED A PRAYER CIRCLE AND A HELPING HAND SIR! I know your pops Martin aka Ramón Gerardo Antonio Estévez (we'll discuss this whole name abandonment at a later date....) is shaking his head straight off of its axis right now!  Somewhere in the world Denise Richards is WINNING even if only slightly.. she's WINNING!  Dr. Drew is has tattooed your name on his back Charlie, that's a sign that maybe you two should sit down and chit chat.

2011 The Return of Shoes in Politics - Part 1

Shoe Throwing in the Middle East Redux

February 10, 2011 EGYPT: Shoes held up in protest



Anti-government protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square wave shoes in dismay as President Hosni Mubarak speaks to the nation February 10, 2011. Mubarak provoked rage on Egypt's streets on Thursday when he said he would hand powers to his deputy but disappointed protesters who had been expecting him to step down altogether after two weeks of unrest. Leave! Leave! chanted thousands who had gathered in Cairo's Tahrir Square in anticipation that a televised speech would be the moment their demands for an end to Mubarak's 30 years of authoritarian, one-man rule were met.

Cloud 9 Status: Whisky Tango Foxtrot (WTF): Period Panties

Sorry this is on some To Catch a Predator Stuff...

Can I get four Whisky's with a side of Tango and a couple cubes of Foxtrot please?? Period panties that look like jockeys for a 7 year old boy?  I mean I guess they can be commended for trying to switch up the granny drawls routine, you know the panties that deflates even the most determined erection, the pannies that are made of so much cotton, it can serve as a blanket during desperate times? 

What really kills me dead is the names of the different styles though.. Aunt Flo, Evil Beaver and Raggedy Fran... DEAD!  They retail for about $12 and you can get them over at Harebrained!

Cloud 10 Status: Draught Dry Goods

Phone Case: $120... Caught my attention!!

I will be the first to admit I am a sucker for well-crafted, handmade goods that have a rich yet very vintage and rustic feel to them.  Draught Dry Goods seem to be a brand that's all about simplicity and style without the added fluff.  I know my best buddy Hide would love these products seeing as though he's even more of a stan for handmade products than I am. 

Anyway, Draught Dry Goods specializes in not only leather goods but also finely crafted canvas bags, satchels and the like!  Their camera straps, wallets and phone holders are what really caught my eye though.  The prices are reasonable also, for under $100 you can get a pretty dope wallet or phone case! Make sure to visit their website Draught Dry Goods. 


The camera strap retails for $95.00

Are you impressed??

Since MELO is a KNICK now...

I thought I'd put together a colorway that not only signifies the Knicks, but also boldly screams NYC flavor! The upper paneling is a stretchable cotton denim with the perforations and Jordan symbol in orange, while the underlying upper consists of premium white leather on top of a white mesh for ultimate breathing and flexing. The eyelets strip is a sparkling orange vinyl stitched over the upper with bright orange round laces. The blue nylon tongue and cotton lining are easy on the ankle area. There is a blue patent leather heel support on the back of the shoe. Finally the outer outsole is a textured blue, with the inner outsole a textured white on top of an orange, sturdy plastic midsole. In homage to being on the Knicks, there is signage of NEW YORK on the inner outsole going across both heels. This is only the first of many drafts for a new MELO sneaker envisioned. Please feel free to share with other fans of Carmelo Anthony as well as the NY Knicks!

Cloud 10 Status: Breitling Chronospace Automatic Chronometer

The Upgrade Main Chick Watch... Your old watch is BITTER..

This is the watch your watch will feel jilted for, the watch your watch may pull a Mary Harvey and start a tirade of promotion, maybe milk a book deal and a reality show.  This Breitling Chronospace Automatic Chronometer is one of those timepieces that will turn heads.  Yes ladies and gentlemen... MEET THE OTHER WATCH!

According to Selectism "Here is the Breitling Chronospace Automatic Chronometer – soon to be available in four dial colors. ”The case, in stainless steel, measures 46mm. It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 200 meters. The new Chronospace Automatic is available with a choice of four dial colors – Volcano Black, Mariner Blue, Tungsten Gray and Stratus Silver – enhanced by black totalizers.”

What really caught me is that they did not skimp on any details nor did they make a mistake by adding that chain link band.  Beautiful and dashing!
