Hall of Fame x Jordan 23

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

The time has come for the Air Jordan 23. Based on DNA from the man himself, the sneakers also feature a crazy fingerprint sole that mimics Jordan’s own prints. An appropriate tribute, especially after all the theories people have been spouting about what would finally be done for Number 23…

To celebrate the release, Hall of Fame has introduced a limited run of four 5-panel adjustable hats. Two designs — “Vintage” — use vintage colors and patterns to focus on Jordan’s influential role throughout the 80’s and 90’s, and feature the Roman numerals I - XXIII on the inner bill. The other two — “Thumbprint” — reference the pattern from the new 23’s sole (above). Check the freshness with two examples below, or go to Hall of Fame’s product blog to see more detailed pics of these and other new hats.

High Society Heir Busted As Drug Ring Mastermind

A Harvard-educated Manhattan jet-setter has been pegged as the money-laundering mastermind behind a massive LSD drug ring run out of a Kansas missile silo, The Post has learned.

Stefan Wathne, a 39-year-old scion of New York’s socially prominent Wathne apparel family, surrendered to federal agents Jan. 7 as he stepped off a plane at Newark Airport - after three years on the lam.

Mellow Mike’s Amazing Replicas

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

mellow4.jpgmellow5.jpgRail fan and model train enthusiast Mellow Mike creates hyper realistic miniaturized versions of America’s rolling stock. Accurate down to the graffiti art, Mike makes his models using photo references and then “poses� his finished creations over background shots giving his work that surreal look.

“You’ll quickly notice that the majority of my contemporary freight cars have graffiti on them. I am not a tagger in real life, nor do I condone such activity. But because I strive to make my models look authentic, it means reproducing what I see outdoors.â€?

“I digitally photograph the real thing up close. Then, on my computer, I edit and clean the hi-res image. Finally, I reduce the image and print it out as a decal. In most cases, I will touch up the decal with some hand painting once it’s on the model.

Shout out to Giant and Jase BA crew.

Lunar Eclipse

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Tonight was 2008’s only total lunar eclipse

After the Earth moved in between the Sun and the Moon, there was still a thin circle of sunlight passing through our atmosphere – which apparently scattered the blue light spectrum so that we cast a red shadow across the Moon’s face.  People used to call it the blood moon.

This was the same kind of eclipse Columbus supposedly used to fool the first Americans he met into thinking he had the favor of the gods — which really set a benchmark for European honesty towards indigenous people in years to come. 

Regardless, tonight’s eclipse was real cool.  Hope y’all caught it.
