Cloud 10's New Music Spot - Warren G's Nate Dogg Tribute
-pours out a lil bit of Simply Orange for the homey Nathaniel Dogg- Nate Dogg passed away at the age of 41 last month due to complications after suffering from 2 strokes over the past few years. His homey Warren G sends him off in style with this moving tribute. I could hear Nate riding this quintessential West Coast beat with effortless ease. I will also like to take the time to dedicate this song to my Godfather Don Pennerman who passed away 2 weeks ago due to a brain aneurysm. RIP Don!! MISS YA!

Looky, looky all you iPhone 4 White enthusiasts that have been praying to the Apple Gods for the official white version of the iPhone 4; seems like it is dropping tomorrow! Aesthetically and specs wise it is the same as the black version only difference is if you have a preference for white it is not available and will be dropping in the United States tomorrow, April 28th 2011!
Are you getting one or are you going to wait for the next iPhone to drop?

Cloud 10 Status (FOR MY LADIES): Heel Condoms
HEEL...CONDOMS!! I had to do a double-take and make sure I was reading correctly! But sure enough there is a designer, Sandrysabel Ortiz who is producing Heel Condoms with the intention of keeping your shoe heels fly and protected from those pesky STI's (Street Transmitted Infections) lol but on the real I guess these are a good way of getting bang for your buck if you are budget conscious but want to have a new fly pair of shoes!
Good News ladies, they ship Worldwide and they retail for about $39! You can get yours over HERE!!
Would you ladies wear these?

Sister 2 Sister (2) Pics and Recap...
Our second Sister 2 Sister all-female sneaker design seminar just wrapped on Wednesday with an exclusive insiders' look at the Converse Headquarters. Over 20 female Converse staff showed us their roles in taking kicks from market research to material design, product development and onto our feet! Thanks Converse...
Over the weekend we had 20+ amazing participants and 9 mentor teachers working away at improving our skills drawing and designing sneakers...
This design team was challenged to come up with a new brand; here they're doing some market research and looking for inspiration...
As always, the weekend includes loads of one-on-one mentoring. Here Sabrina (left), from MassArt, gets tips from Layla Hassoun from Sperry Topsider.

Many thanks to our fantastic mentor teachers, hard-working participants, and generous sponsors: Abekam, Karmaloop, No. 2 Foundation and Pensole!
Thanks also to our fabulous hosts, MassArt, for having us back again!
And last but not least, thanks to our photographers, Natanya Khashan and Felicia Eason.

Cloud 9 Status: Whisky Tango Foxtrot (WTF): Tyrese's 80K Vertu Phone
This why black folks can't have nice things... $80,000 |
If you are discussing the Creme de Creme of cellular phone one can not mention the prestige that comes with a Vertu phone. Tyrese in all his ignorant splendor, Twit Pic'd a phone that could serve as tuition, rent, groceries and a car for some. The Vertu phone he Twit Pic'd is a subsidiary of Nokia and is handcrafted in Switzerland! The exact model Tyrese bought is the Vertu Signature which contains 943 diamonds on its bezel and 48 more on its keypad.
80,000 for a bedazzled Jitterbug looking phone??! No thanks!! I better be able to bypass all mediums and talk directly with God on his bedside phone if I pay THAT much for a phone!!

Moment of silence...
One of my male sneaker fiend friends and I were having a really good conversation about kicks we messed up or just cannot find. So I would like to give a moment of silence for the 5 pair of kicks that i had and no longer have. Ironically they are all Jordans.
Jordan II, left these home when i went off to college. Came home and they were gone!
Jordan IV used them as work shoes, smh. The odor killed these.
Jordan VIII someone stole these out of my locker at Six Flags one summer.
Jordan XII my brother decided to use these to cut the grass while i was at school.
Jordan X, unknown
What about you? What kicks do you give a moment of silence to?
