Stripes, dots, zig-zags, concentric rays, what have you, get ‘em all ready for when these drop on the 3rd.

Over the past few weeks we’ve watched our collection of G-Star apparel grow into its own as one of our staple brands. When compared to even our most popular labels, G-Star consistently comes out on top when it comes to quality and versatility. But we realized that for the most part, our selection of tops had been limited to only an assortment of casual button-ups. Not a problem considering the Dutch label’s status as an upper echelon line; but for the more lax ones of us looking to embrace the European trends, an expansion was in order. So for the sake of t-shirt guys all over we’ve brought in a few sans-collar and cuff garments to quell your desire. G-Star’s simplistic design and quality approach add a touch of class to our already extensive assortment of tees. And with the logos boldly on display these may very well be the only t-shirts we carry that you can get in the clubs with. But you know, we had to bring in a few more button ups as well – just for good measure. I hear chambray is poppin this season.

UNDRCRWN went hard on this one. It’s funny how a little cartoon humor can make cool things even cooler and UC’s artwork never fails to draw a smirk or two. This time they’ve got their sights on “The World’s Most Dangerous Group”. Now Cube, Ren, Yella, Eazy, and Dre repped the dub harder than anyone else back in the day. The Cali style that they helped bring to the mainstream influences so much of the today’s streetwear, yet we still don’t seem to give them the props they deserve. Well UC’s latest sets out to immortalize CPT’s finest with a dope series of t-shirts, showing us all that at least they still got love for the left coast. Westsiiiide! (Yay Yayeee!)

The latest from Ralph Lauren hit the racks @ F² this week. With Spring officially here it seems that the Polos will be the first flowers to reach full bloom. Now just ’cause the Olympics passed a few weeks ago doesn’t mean you can’t still rep your country hard. And since there’s nothing wrong with a little patriotism, were here to help. Providing your country is either steadfastly neutral or zealously ambitious – the stop global warming, end world hunger, anti-opressive type; not the genocidal, war-mongering, terrorist breeding kind – we’ve got the goods for you. Stop in soon before the the heat is gone. I mean, you wouldn’t want to let your country down, would you?

Add another one to the list. The Silver Anniversary Jordan IV Retro has landed here @ F². Continuing on with this year’s plans to completely run the shoe game, these beauties are literally a stark contrast to anything else on the market right now. If you missed out on the Pure Money pack a couple years ago, now is your chance to reclaim that loss. The super soft, super white-on-white premium leather, the chrome lace “waffles” and Jumpman, push the official neck break-o-meter to the redline. Question is, would you ever really want to wear them? I mean once they touch the ground, they’ll pretty much never be the same again. Word of advice, if you cop, put these on ice – FOREVER (vacuum wrap too). Who knows, an un-yellowed, DS pair of these may go for quite a pretty penny in the future.

Uh oh… Now here’s something you don’t see everyday! To the untrained eye, these are just another pair of Retro 1’s. But to the true sneakerhead, only one word comes to mind – Grail. At least that’s what Jordan was aiming for.
You see, back in 1985, around the same time that the original Air Jordan 1’s were released, Nike had this brilliant idea to release a much more limited, canvas version as well, so that less fortunate MJ fans could afford a pair. As there is now, there were also sneakerheads back in ‘85. And also like now, the mere mention of the word “limited”, along with MJ’s already burgeoning popularity, and reduced price point, spurred the hype train and these canvas variants were snapped up with the quickness. Fast forward 25 years, 24 sneakers – each with countless retro’s, nu-retros, re-retros, and retro +’s, 6 rings, 3 retirements, 2 number changes (he wore a nameless #12 jersey for one game during the 90-91 season) a Hall of Fame Bust, and now sole ownership of an up and coming franchise, MJ’s one-time-only variant is making it’s first ever retro. After a quarter century as possibly the most untouchable grail on the planet, the AJKO has been resurrected in all it’s replicated glory.
Now for the naive, ignorant, or uneducated ones of you who ask, “Why would Jordan release a shoe that looks dirty and worn?” Let me ask you this – Have you ever seen a pair of sneakers kept on ice for 25 years? 15 years? 5 years? THIS is what happens. No these aren’t 25 year old models that were locked in a vault somewhere out in the woods of Beaverton, Jordan just want’s them to look like they are. It’s called oxidation, and it’s a typical chemical aging process that all shoes go through over time (unless you’re the anal type and vacuum wrap your sneakers, kudos to you!). Props to JB for so deftly replicating the symptoms of what is usually considered a sneakerhead’s nemesis (or signal of true value, depending on what side of the fence your’e on).
The yellowed midsole, the dingy canvas, the scathed treads all coordinate beautifully to emulate the look of a truly vintage classic. Of all the repeated misses, botched colorways, and “What were they thinking?” releases of past (Ice Blue VIII’s) and future (Pistons VI’s), this pack goes down as worthy redeemers. Well done JB, you’ve made us real heads proud.

Another drop from The Hundreds has hit the shelves here @ F². Never ones to stifle inspiration, Ben and Bobby always come up with new ways to shock and awe. The bro’s and co. wen’t straight biblical on that ass, using a satirical visage of good ‘ol Moses to pass the word. Too bad the other shirts weren’t so stark, otherwise this would’ve easily been a drop for the ages. It’s stuff like this that show you why TH is so beloved. As of right now, the Cali boys own 2010.

James Yancey, we hardly knew ye.
4 years after his untimely passing, we’re still got mad love for Dilla. So to honor of one of (Real) hip-hop’s fallen icons, Stussy and Stones Throw Records have partnered on a limited-edition tee, commemorating Dilla’s imprint on the game. The shirt features a photo of the late artist/producer/DJ captured in his essence by Raph Rashid in Dilla’s L.A. dining room-turned-studio (circa 2005), for his book Behind The Beat: Hip-Hop Home Studios. The tee is officially licensed with J Dilla’s heirs, who have recently announced a reorganization of the J Dilla Estate (read here).
These shirts were produced in ultra-limited quantities, so don’t think you can just cop whenever. If you know Dilla, then you know his fans don’t mess around and will snatch up any memorabilia with the quickness. Don’t wait cuz these’ll be gone before the week is out.
