Daft Punk x Random Access Memory

The long wait is finally over. The 4th studio album from Daft Punk is now here. I'm not usually a fan of Daft Punk and most electronic music but after hearing snippets of RAM over the past few months, along with the "Get Lucky" single, I'm beginning to change my mind. RAM is the usual upbeat, poppy music but RAM is a little more conservative than their previous albums. Today, I was finally able to hear the whole thing and it's great. Definitely worth a buy or at least a stern listening to.
Buy 'Random Access Memory' here.

Nike Roshe Run "Tie Dye"

The Nike Roshe Run is starting to take over the sneaker game as one of the next sensations. With the surface of them a few months ago, and now with their availability to be customized  via. Nike ID, everyone has been contributing to the hype. As of lately, running shoes have been incorporated more into peoples attire and style as a way to expand; some successful, most not. With the summer approaching, Nike and other Running Shoe brands have been designing a lot of their signature shoes with tie-dye color schemes. The Roshe Run is the newest to join this club. These are the most subtle, yet well done, tie-dye runners that I've seen over the last few months. Nice job, Nike.

Nike KD 6 "Weatherman" (Sample)

It's about that time where the NBA Finals begin to approach and the season slowly comes to an end. You know what that means right? NIKE BASKETBALL SAMPLES! So far, we've seen different samples of the Nike Lebron 11 surfacing all over the internet and sneaker sites. We have also seen other samples of the Nike KD 6 as well but now we have a glance of the "Weatherman" sample. The KD 4 "Weatherman" was one of the most popular shoes by Kevin Durant over the last couple of years. This sample takes the same designs, (doppler radar waves and jet-streams), and adds it to a new silhouette. It looks like Nike is going back to the low cut of the sneaker like it was on the KD 4; but this time around, it looks like they've made the Air unit and midsole more .... noticeable. I can only imagine what the Kobe 9's are going to look like.

New Balance 996 "RevLite"

The New Balance 996 model is probably one of my favorites next to the 998 and the 1300. The silhouette and shape is phenomenal and the color customization options you can have for this model is unreal. In an attempt to connect running tech with lifestyle shoes, NB, a little while ago, took the 574 and put some RevLite in it. RevLite is one of the main technologies in all of the New Balance running shoes; namely the 890 and 1400. But this time around, instead of changing the entire shoe to make the whole shoe RevLite inspired like the 574 was, they're only putting the RevLite tech in the midsole along with the ENCAP with these 996's. I work for New Balance as well, this will be a truly great shoe. Expect these to release some time during the Fall of 2013.

Kanye West 'Yeezus' Album Info.

Kanye has been causing quite a wave of relevance lately. From plastering holograms of his face on random buildings across the globe performing his new single "New Slaves" to Kim Kardashian instagraming a possible new Yeezy 2, Kanye has been the center of attention. Since the epic "June 18th" tweet he posted about a month ago, people have been speculating as to what he was referring to. Now that we are approaching the date, it's becoming more and more obvious that it's the release of his album. Either that or that new Yeezy 2 in Kim K's instagram photo. Kanye's album cover has been officiated and it's ..... unique like it always is. June 18th has not technically been proclaimed as the authentic release date, but it's pretty safe to say that it is. Oh, by the way, J. Cole's "Born Sinner" releases on June 18th as well; should be very interesting to say the least.

WE ARE BACK.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
