This weekend on September 4th, Jordan Brand will presents the first sneaker from their new Air Jordan COMFORT Series. This is a collection that will fuse comfort and style with the classic elements that have made Jordan Brand what it is today. Derick G and Sneaker Me Stupid teamed up to do these product shots that gives a great look at the sneaker including detail and the lifestyle feel. This is Jordan CMFT Viz Air 11 coming in the Varsity Red and Varsity Royal colorway as the Air Max brings a popular feel from Nike. And a big thanks to Miami’s Bowtie South specializing in Custom Auto Restoration as we did these product shots in their garage.
“Our high-performance Air Jordan basketball shoes are battle-tested and crafted to help take your game to the next level. Now we’re adding the comfort and quality you would expect on the hardwood to your everyday gear with the launch of the CMFT series. The CMFT Viz Air 11’s are the first of a casual series inspired by the Air Jordan line, and we’re committed to providing you with off-court options that deliver the Jordan style that you expect.
The CMFT 11 features the distinguishable upper that you’ll recognize from the Air Jordan XI, built on a visible air-cushioning system and translucent elephant-print sole.”

Pro BMX biker Nigel Sylvester celebrated his 23rd birthday this past Monday night. Nigel turned 23 on the 23rd so the Birthday was an even bigger deal, the event was hosted by DJ Clark Kent and LTD’s “Hawaii” Mike (Vibe, Nike 6.0, Hennessy Black, and Corona Extra served as the sponsors) conveniently named “23 on 23.” The party was held at 8Bond Studio – again conveniently located at 8 Bond St – in Lower Manhattan, and the Queens biker received so much NYC hometown love.
It’s been quite a ride so far for Nigel becoming the sponsor guy for Gatorade and Nike. Check out the photo recap from Va$htie
Making of Kanye West’s Power (Music Video)

Here is a first look at the creation process and a behind-the-scenes look into the making of Kanye West’s music video for the single Power, directed by Marco Brambilla.
Kanye is definitely the music artist that will consistently push the boundaries of music, art, and design. And this video will prove why Mr. West has had so much staying power in the music industry.
”Power shows a continuous camera move from extreme close-up of Mr. West revealing an a neoclassical video tableau showing characters and creatures surrounding him in an abstract environment – all moving in extreme slow motion. Inspired by Michelangelo’s frescos in the Sistine Chapel, the piece depicts a faux historical moment – an empire on the brink of collapse from its own excess, decadence and corruption.” This trailer was produced by The 88. Enjoy!
Nike has also mentioned that they will or might create some more sneakers with Mr. West as they previously went in on the Nike Air Yeezys, and I know everyone is excited to hear this news straight from the source. (@NikeSportswear )
