Our homies over at Akomplice are known for making shirts with a message. Their latest group of tees hits a variety of topics including the illusion of time, McDonald’s, forestry, etc. Of course they aren’t straight ahead, we get the same satire that the brand has won with in the past. Cop here.
A few of you have been waiting on UP to release their 5 Panel hats. They are currently available on their webstore in four colors for $29. The branding is a little blatant but if that is your thing then these are a good pick for the summer.
If you’ve ever read anything I’ve ever written then you could probably deduce that Tyler Perry products are not my cup of tea. I commend Perry on what he’s accomplished in Hollywood but that is about as far as it goes.
Perry’s name is plastered all over The Peeples–which opens today–but thankfully for the portion of the population that isn’t into Madea, he is a producer on the project and not a writer/director. The Peeples was written/directed by first time director Tina Gordon Chism (DRUMLINE, ATL).

The Low is built with the same heel articulation as the high. The articulation keeps the ankle supported, and at the same time allows for complete mobility. The midsole contains UA’s proprietary Micro G Foam for cushioning and responsiveness. The Outsole has a cored clear rubber outsole with rubber traction pods for control and lateral and linear movement. The UA Charge BB Low in Clean White and Blacked Out colorways are available in limited quantities later today for $100. Cop at UnderArmour.com.

If you follow this blog you know that we lean left when it comes to our allegiances. While we were on twitter recently we came across a tweet from the legendary MC Hammer.
With an endorsement from Hammer, we had to check out the shirts. Turns out they are dope. Real Oakland–which has been in business for a year–uses a tried and true tee formula but it doesn’t come across stale. They have more designs on the horizon but in the meantime you can buy their flagship shirt in multiple colors here.

Today adidas unveiled the latest colorway in their upcoming hoop shoe, the Crazyquick. The shoe is designed for quickness, it features an innovative four quick zone outsole for increased traction and flexibility. It’s not bad looking either as it comes with eye-popping infrared laces and a black camo pattern upper.
The Crazyquick Black-Lead colorway drops May 1 at Foot Locker, Eastbay and adidas.com and is available for pre-order beginning April 17.
ATL based brand Vintige has been off the scene for a minute but they are returning this spring with a brand new collection of tees, hoodies, snapbacks, tanks and more. The line features branded gear as well as graphic tees that the brand is known for. In order to do it big this time out, the owners have started a Kickstarter campaign to fund the spring line. They are nearly half way to their goal with a few weeks left. If you’re so inclined you can donate a buck and up here.
Unless your cable got cut off, you have seen DeAndre’s vicious dunk on Brandon Knight. If not, check here. Under Armour has dropped two t-shirts in honor of one of the top dunks of the season and both are available here.
They are also running an Instagram contest where this Tuesday UA will select one grand prize winner who will receive a paid trip to Los Angeles for a Clippers game, a meet and greet with DeAndre and Under Armour gear. To enter, all you have to do is post a pic to your Instagram and tag it with #DeAndreDunkFace.
