Undrcrwn Re-Releases Fab 5 Series
August 19th, 2010
Before college basketball got watered down there were actually NCAA teams with flavor and household names. One such team was Michigan’s Fab 5. Though they didn’t win a championship Webber, Rose, Howard, Jackson and King changed college hoops forever.
The trash talk, baggy shorts, black socks, black shoes and pure freshman braggadocio was unheralded in 1992 and has yet to be duplicated.
Undrcrwn has re-released the “Fab5 Series”and it’s currently available here. Just watch those time-outs.

Official Crown of Laurel Fall ‘10 Collection
August 17th, 2010
Official Crown of Laurel’s fall 2010 lineup is decidedly more mature than past lines. The goal of the collection was to have the headwear match the designers fashion sensibilities. They have effectively achieved that goal with a wide range of headwear that should appeal to a variety of audiences. There are snapback hats, fitteds, skullies/beanies, a five panel hat and our favorite, the English driving cap with herringbone earflap overlapping the brushed flannel crown. The collection will be available in stores and here in early September.

SSUR x Converse Pro Leather 1976
August 17th, 2010
Renowned artist Ruslan Karablin p/k/a SSUR’s latest creation is the black (of course) Converse Pro Leather 1976 shoe is no different. SSUR flips the old school hoops shoe with a gritty yet sleek feel.
Its silhouette is constructed of a clean, simple, black nubuck suede upper with subtle perforated Star Chevron branding and a clean neoprene tongue. The gold accents are there for an aspirational feel according to Karablin. While metallic gold shark-tooth jewelry and an image of a great black shark on the foot bed represent status on the street. That coupled with the SSUR signature and skull and crossbones give the shoe a best of both worlds aesthetic.
The SSUR for Converse Pro Leather 1976 will launch globally in August 20, 2010 at SSUR Inc., Undefeated and select retailers globally. All shoes will be available in unisex sizing 8 – 13 for $90 US.

JAY-Z WBF Nike Air Force 1’s
August 17th, 2010
Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter has been all about creating a brand based on his image since Hard Knock Life catapulted him into the mainstream pysche back in 1998. Of course, a lot of us saw the immense talent in Jay as an artist since Reasonable Doubt days (a couple years before in 1996), but none of us could’ve forseen the Jay-Z brand becoming such a massive entity in its own right. Didn’t he tell us a few years ago though? We’d all be wearing his favorite hue, Jay-Z Blue. Figuratively speaking, we sort of are, although the signature color has been modified to “all black everything.”
Jay is on a cross branding mission involving himself, Nike and E-Bay. The athletic shoe company has joined design forces with the rapper just in time for the Summer Inaugural World Basketball Festival in New York City. There are five countries participating in the festival ending on August 22nd: USA, Puerto Rico, France, China and Brazil. Each nation has their own customized pair of Air Force Ones, all entirely in black (of course). The sneakers are super limited, only one of each pair are going to be sold to the highest E-Bay bidder. The auction is set to end on the last day of the festival and at presstime, each pair ranged from $1650 to $2850, and rising. The proceeds from their sale will be going to the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation. Hit E-Bay and put your bid in if you’ve got a few thousand to drop on exclusives. –N. Graham
