NEIGHBORHOOD – Booze. Colt CE-Incense Chamber






There is something inherently beautiful about ceramic sculptures, especially when the subject matter is influenced by a dark concept. The series of incense chambers by NEIGHBORHOOD takes influence from pottery items produced in Japan, when it was occupied by the US after World War II. Overly ornate details contrast the white ceramic object, with gold paint applied to the hammer, sights, and safety clip. Once an incense is inserted inside the chamber, it resembles a smoking barrel. Head over to HAVEN to pick up this piece.

New Era – New York Yankees 59FIFTY Fitted Caps – Tartan Check Pack






Tartan pattern is better known in North America as plaid pattern, and its roots dates back thousands of years ago. It has been synonymous for Scottish kilts, yet this pattern did not originate in Scotland. One key attribute of this pattern is the horizontal and vertical colors that interconnect. This pattern creates a highly distinct aesthetic that is easily recognizable. New Era took this traditional pattern and applied it to a range of New York Yankees caps. The result is a cap with classic look and a modern flavor. These caps are a limited edition by New Era and can be purchased from ONSPOTZ online shop in Japan.






Air Jordan 5 – Custom | By Rocket Boy Nift


 Nike‘s Air Jordan V debuted in 1990, which is the same year that Will Smith made his move to Bel Air after getting into a little bit of trouble in his neighborhood. The Air Jordan V itself starred on the sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, often seen on the feet of Will Smith as he went about his exploits. Although the series ended almost 16 years ago, the images of the Rocket Boy Nift’s latest custom creation still dusts up a strong whiff of nostalgia, packing the panelling with pretty much every shade imaginable to remake Smith’s style of the day and even taking the time to suit up the Jumpman on the tongue against a reflective background. Although your chance to bid on the kicks on eBay has past, you can still click through the images of the a pair that would’ve made the Prince proud.






adidas Originals by Jeremy Scott – JS Instinct Hi






There is nothing wrong with your computer monitor. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. Jeremy Scott is controlling this latest release by adidas Originals and its truly as wild as it looks. Much like his Slim Graffiti Shoes, these hi-top Instincts are covered from heel to toe with signature Scott style, including leather prints on each panel and component mostly inspired by wild animal prints. The only thing normal about this one are its black cotton laces and midsole and the oversized Trefoil and “adidas” branding on the heel and tongue. You can take a closer look at this latest drop from the man who brought you teddy-bear covered suspenders in the gallery after the jump. You can also pick them up now from Allike Store.

Nike LeBron X | Detailed Look


Nike LeBron X | Detailed Look

In creating the Nike LeBron X, the design team at Nike Basketball took inspiration from the creation of a diamond, a metaphor that can be applied to LeBron James’ career. Time and extreme pressure work to transform carbon into a precious jewel, refining a dull rock into something with clarity and multiple facets. It’s the kind of transformation that leads to an NBA title and league MVP honors. Taking the comparison even further, the introductory colorways of the LeBron X speak to specific aspects of LeBron’s game: the Blue Diamond colorway is a nod to the blue cast that diamonds gain from interacting with electricity, analogous to James’ electric style of play. Meanwhile, the Cutting Jade colorway is inspired by the Chinese art of cutting jade using diamonds.
Nike+ Basketball technology will grace two versions of the shoe: the fully loaded LeBron X+ Sport Pack, made up of the shoes and Nike+ Sport Kit, and the Nike+ Basketball enabled version with Nike+ technology embedded in the midsole. A non-enabled version of the LeBron X is available as well. Technical benefits include a lock-down fit thanks to Flywire technology, excellent cushioning on impact via a full-length visible Nike Zoom unit, and a lightweight feel courtesy of Hyperfuse construction. Finally, diamond-inspired detailing throughout the upper once again references LeBron’s journey, highlighted by the ten-year anniversary of his relationship with Nike.












Honda – Supercharged CR-Z MUGEN RS | By MUGEN


 While Honda tries to maintain within the boundaries of factory specifications, MUGEN on the other hand loves to push the envelope of any vehicle they touch. MUGEN is the official tuner of Honda and their CR-Z revamp is nothing like its stock sibling. Dubbed as the CR-Z MUGEN RS, it is a supercharged version of the 1.5-liter i-VTEC power plant that pumps out 154 horsepower and 185Nm of torque. Stand still to 62mph can be reached in 6.1 seconds, a noticeable 3 seconds faster than the stock version. Its aesthetics are improved with a full MUGEN body kit, as well as bigger 17-inch wheels fitted with performance tires. Only 300 units will be produced exclusively for the Japanese market. via: Carscoop
