Nonnative x New Balance CM1500 “Coyote”



Here is the new Nonnative x New Balance CM1500 “Coyote." The running shoe will drop in Japan on January 3rd at Tokishirazu and other select retailers. I have to admit I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. It kinda reminds me of a simpler version of a previous New balance design and colorway. But the interwebs seem to be goin crazy for this sneaker so here it is.

New Balance X Huf 205 and snowboarding boot



New for Spring 2011 is a collaboration between San Fransisco skate institution Huf and New Balance. A minimal design takes form through both a 790 Snowboarding Boot and 205 light weight running shoe. The colorway on these is just scintillating. Both will be available January 8th at Huf and 686.

New Balance MT580 Gore-Tex



I have to admit that the MT580 has lost some of it's luster over the last few years for me. That has little to do with a quality release like this one and everything to do with the inept and downright cheap approach that New Balance USA has taken to marketing it's wide releases. Bad design, lame colorways and all around cheaply manufactured materials have marred what had once been New Balance's premier Sneakerhead silhouette. And yes, I am talking about the initial American rollout of the MT580 in the states. They fucked it up big time! So much so that I know of more than one New Balance shop that simply chose to stop carrying anything other than technical runners and cross trainers from their own brand! Here's hoping that going forward in 2011 New Balance can regain some of that quality and bring the MT580 back stronger than ever.

An internationally popular model in the New Balance stable of sneakers, the MT580 Gore-Tex shoe has earned its following over the years, and this new Gore-Tex model is sure to continue that trend. A mix of solid and perforated leather on the uppers and a natural gum-rubber sole (I love gum soled shoes!!) with contrasting linings, this shoe has a lot going on.
Available February 2011 at Mita.

New Balance 574 Sonic Spring/Summer 2011


The New Balance 574 Sonic, a “sonic welded” version of their iconic running shoe, uses heat and pressure to seamlessly fuse the sneakers’ panels together. For Spring/Summer 2011, the shoe comes in new off-white and maroon colorways. Pre-order from End for a February release.

NEW BALANCE X LIMITED EDT M577BST


Singapore’s premium sneaker boutique Limited Edt Vault have killed it again with this second collaboration, the M577BST. This shoe isamazing! The M577BST is a sequel to their previous 577 collaboration, and was created in New Balance’s legendary Flimby factory in Cumbria, England.

This release is significantly more eye-catching than the first drop, featuring the finest premium materials and a head turning colorway. The upper features full grain, crocodile skin embossed and cracked chrome leather! The sole and upper show a scintillating turquoise blue detail that immediately caught my attention, a striking color that effectively offsets the sneaker's black, chrome, and brown colorway. The Singapore Limited EDT Vault release of the M577BST will only have 180 pairs stocked.

Now if the design and colorway of this shoe alone wasn't enough to warm my little sneaker collecting heart; each edition of the Singapore release will come in a royal blue velvet jewel shoebox!! Each box is individually numbered and comes with the M577BST, money bag(dust bag), vault lace locks and a special hang tag that allows each customer VIP access into Limited Edt’s Chamber room, which houses a collection of the rarest sneakers for sale at Limited Edt Chamber, their newest outlet that opened at Marina Bay Sands Shop in Singapore. A special micro site has been created for this New Balance collaboration, so head over to www.vault577.com for videos, photos and more information on the kicks.

The M577BST will be released in Singapore on the 12th of November, 2010.
The release will be an appointment only affair. Heads will have to call Limited Edt Vault in advance and set up a fitting time at the shop! Be prepared to be treated like a king!
Experience a sneaker release like no other including freebies, installations including how the NB 577 BSTwas made, a UK factory exhibition to give you an insight on what is so special about the shoe while you enjoy some English tee and bites on us, Get your feet measured, enjoy screenings, get to handpick your pair/number of choice form the Chamber and enjoy a host of priviledges - we can go on an on but we want to save some surprises. - no lines, no queueing just make your appointment time.

It will be released globally at premium sneaker stores on the 20th of November, 2010.

And I want to take a quick second to again thank my friend Eric for the hook-up on this release. Go check out his store FLIGHT CLUB in NYC for all the dope shoes you could ever wanna rock! THANKS ERIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have quite simply fallen head over heels for this band and their new album "Deadmalls & Nightfalls"
They are performing at the Orpheum in Tampa on wednesday october 13th and I can hardly contain my excitement. This is gonna be one of those shows that if you see you will tell people about and if you miss you will kick yourself. Openers Donna Lu and Gates of Eden are no slouches either so this is looking like a pretty great wednesday night for me.

Bassnectar was just in Florida for a series of dates. He also has a brand new website.
Anybody who saw the shows knows he dropped a new Deftones remix of "Prince."

So go over and pick it up! It crushes! Then grab the new EP at the site in a couple weeks.

The 1 minute 19 second banger will appear on the forthcoming October 12th, 7" only release of the bands' 1st EP, which comes with a limited edition Raymond Pettibon print. The 1st EP along with 12 additional tracks comprise the full length debut, First Four EPs, out November 23rd digitally and as a four 7" boxset.
I love the artwork from Pettibon. Takes me right back to the old Black Flag album covers. Awesome!

ESQ & Chikaramanga drop "The Succession" LP on Tres Records


A new jewel just dropped into my mailbox today and I had to post up about it. Let me start off by saying that for my money the most consistent hip hop label in the game today and for the past 5 years or more has been Tres Records. People Under The Stairs, Giant Panda, Shawn Jackson, Paten Locke, C.R.A.C., are just a few of the artists that have called Tres Records home. All the artists on the label are united by one thing: a commitment "to procuring the hip-hop aesthetic while exploring the infinite possibilities of the sampling tradition."
But enough about the label, Let's talk about the new record! ESQ & Chikaramanga are dropping "The Succession." Set for a September 14th release, the album is a collaboration between two like minded hip hop cats. Both tend to keep it dusty and not digital. Vinyl samples, stacks of rhyme books, and the SP-12 are in full effect on "The Succession." This record is for every hip hop cat that I hear complain about music not sounding like it used to "back in the day" (this usually means the early 90's w/ tribe called quest, gangstarr, de la soul, pharcyde etc). ESQ & Chikaramanga are on a mission to prove that "Boom Bap" is still alive and well 20 years later. The cuts are sharp, the lyrics swift, and the beats bang. I don't need much more hahaha. If you get this record and your neck doesn't start snappin' then I'm pretty sure you don't like hip hop. "Cosmic Mellow" is my top track right now but this album is so deeply layered that that could change from one moment to the next.

Download: "Recession Free Mixtape" mixed by DJ Lowkey

you can pre-order the album over at UGHH.com
or pick it up when it drops on Sept. 14th 2010.
Support some underground hip hop fools!
