Mister Cartoon has created a dope collab with Livestrong and Nike Air Force 1. It will be released at midnight on Thursday, July 2nd at the Last Laugh store in downtown LA. These events are always great as there are always  a great crowd with taste makers of the industry as well as with Mister Cartoon and crew. But on top of it, they are showcasing the new shoe as well as selling a special edition black tee by Mister Cartoon. If you get a white tee, you will be eligible to purchase the special edition shoe. Should be amazing.

Mister Cartoon will be there signing for the lucky few.

So last week we saw the official release of the PUMA x Gumball 3000 racing shoe. This week we got an invite to a sneak peak of this limited edition shoe in person. The party was held at none other then the PUMA store on 3rd Street, Santa Monica.

You know PUMA was doing it right before you even got inside, because as I walked around the corner I immediately saw two sleek, custom rides parked in the middle of the 3rd Street walk way. It would be an understatement to say that people were stopping in their tracks to see what was going on. Hit the jump to see more pics and details.

PUMA and Gumball spare no expense or effort to do things right, and to prove my point check out this PUMA Speed Cat 2.9 Mid Gumball racing shoe!

This black and silver leather and mesh sneaker not only looks great, but also helps drivers with traction, comfort, and most important protection against their toes getting cooked like cocktail wieners!

Another great event from XBOX and SA Studios. A very select group of people were invited to take a sneak peak at Capcom’s new entry to the Resident Evil franchise; Resident Evil 5.

Attendees from former EXTRA! TV host and Sugar Ray front-man Mark McGrath and Cypress Hill’s DJ Muggs, to rock band Lostprophets and reality TV star Rob Kardashian teamed up to play “Resident Evil 5” together on special edition red Xbox 360 consoles that will be available in limited numbers to consumers starting March 13. As the next blockbuster on Xbox 360, “RE5” will also allow players to meet up with two-player co-op on Xbox LIVE.

Check out some pics from the event below.

Everyday Villains was one of the invitees to this VIP event hosted by Rockstar Games, XBOX 360 and SA Studios Global. Not only was there a live demo of the new Grand Theft Auto downloadable episode “The Lost and the Damned”, but there was music from DJ Skee, food and open bar! EV always like an open bar. If that wasn’t enough, a select few received a custom XBOX elite with the cover art of the game on the side. See picture below.

Really dope.

All in all, a great event and the game was really impressive. Don’t be fooled by the game just being downloadable that it’s a little update or tweak. Its has brand new missions and storylines that weaves throughout the existing GTAIV story. It even has new characters to play, weapons, vehicles, achievements, and more.

The Lost And Damned will only be available February 17, 2009 and only via XBOX LIVE.

Shoes, shoes, shoes, oh my God, shoes.  Yes, yes, yes I love shoes.  I won’t lie, I fucking love shoes.  I don’t collect them to stare at or hawk on eBay 10 years from now.  I don’t buy a pair to wear and another to keep on ice, nope I wear my shit.  I love shoes, all kinds of shoes.  I love sneakers, I love brogues, I love boat shoes and desert boots and slips ons (Vans only) and hybrids and penny loafers and oxfords and saddle shoes and boots - oh I forgot about boots - I love boots too.  But I can’t buy any more.  Why?  Because I shot the moon and bought three pairs of shoes in 5 days late last December.  They were on sale!  It was like they were giving them away!

Well, now I’ve got to take a timeout from the whole shoe game.  And truth be told 08 was a fairly lousy year for the shoe game.  So I thought to myself,  I’ll just grab these three and I’ll be cool for 09 since the game is just about dying out.  But wouldn’t you know it, things just started heating up all over again.  Aint that a bitch?  So since I made a resolution not to buy a pair until one of my current pairs blow out,  I’ll use this blog to get some of this shit off my chest.  It’ll be cathartic.

THE HUNDREDS : JAPANOGRAPHY. from Bobby Hundreds on Vimeo.

Bobby Hundreds from, The Hundreds, does an excellent job capturing the sights of Japan in this short video. Although a mere 57 seconds, the viewer gets a great glimpse into the fashion, culture and other subtle nuances of Japanese life. Having always wanted to travel to Tokyo myself, I found this video to be very inspiring to say the least. I did notice that the street fashion displayed in this footage was far more reserved than the Japan we’ve seen in the past. The rise in popularity of American work-wear seems to have taken a hold of many Japanese closets. Joga, by Bjork, sets the tone.

The culture is getting smarter. I would believe that most of you know, or have an idea of what that picture has overlaid on it. It’s different tools and buttons from the popular photo editing program Adobe Photoshop. I love how graffiti and public statements are becoming way more techy like this. More advanced programs are becoming a norm for the average person. The same way almost everyone know MS word, excel, etc, programs like Photoshop and other programs for making basic websites will soon follow. Kids will learn / be taught these at a very young age. I’m waiting for schools to have kids start keeping blogs instead of journals for the Voyage of the Mimi 2: In Space. It’s gonna happen. You can’t stop it!

It kind of coincides with my philosophy when I’m hiring / interviewing someone. I have always said, for anyone who is applying for a high-level job, especially if it involves any technology, why would you put Microsoft Office Suite as a skill set. Ok I understand putting down “I can do complex Excel programming / formulas.” I can respect that. But you are versed in Word? Really? Yeah, so is a kid in kindergarten. Can you type an e-mail and search Google as well? I’m sorry but that’s like 100 years ago if someone put on their resume they could read.

Haha, anyways back to the point. To use these panels from Photoshop over the images, obviously making a statement about how much post work goes into these models is so comical to me. I love when people remix billboards like this. Taking one person advertising campaign and hi-jacking it for their own. Brilliant. But hey, on a side note. If my mug was part of a national billboard campaign, please Photoshop the fuck out of my face. Make me beautiful….

original story

Kanye West has become the world’s most sought after footwear designer.  Forget Tinker Hatfield (designer of the numbered Jordan line) Jeff Staple (Pigeon Dunk), Nick Tershay (Tiffany Dunk) or Angel Cabada (Supra), apparently the Louis Vuitton Don is the foremost authority on kicks. Last year there was a lot of hype surrounding the Kanye West Nike collaboration shoe coming out later this year, but (I hate to say it but it’s true) before that shoe even launches it’s old news.

Why?  Because all the hype is now surrounding Mr. West’s LV shoe drop.

Now we have the first official photos of what is at the moment rumored to be a 6 piece collection.

And since I’m a huge boat shoe fan myself, I’m pretty hyped on these.

Pray for another stimulus check this year.
