VISA Black Card

VISA is turning on the heat in the ever aggressive credit card scene. Their latest offering is the $495 VISA Black Card, which looks to compete against the super cards offered by other various outlets such as the invite only “Centurion Card.” Like the latter, the VISA Black card offers 24hour full service concierge level perks, priority access at airports, hotels and more. Top it off with a special “carbon graphite” black card, and you are already well beyond the normal VISA user. It must be muthfu**in' nice player and trust I'm not hating on nobody wit one either.....
Salvor Projects Spring 2009 Jacket
New York based Salvor Projects previews some of their Spring/Summer 2009 Collection online. R29 spoke on the designer a while back. “Salvor Projects fuses the vast and varied past of designer Ross Menuez. Backed by a resume that spans everything from building Sandinista prefab homes to interior and furniture design in Japan, Menuez has focused his attention on what he likes to call “portable architecture”—or, in other words, awesomely smart bags.” Check the bags as well as his outerwear for Spring’s man. I like....

CLOT x Nike Air Force 1 | Sneakers & Box » clot-nike-af1-5

To welcome the Chinese Lunar New Year, Nike has teamed up with Clot to launch the lucky-red inspired Nike Clot Air Force 1, the auspicious addition to the Nike 1World AF1 Project.
The Nike Clot Air Force 1 pays tribute to the themes of luck, happiness and prosperity — as represented by the color red — which prevail during traditional Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations.
The highlight peel-off double-layer design feature was created to inspire people to seek beyond the superficial, to search for what lies within. The Clot design team explains: “We need to remember to never judge simply by what you see.”
The Nike Clot Air Force 1 comes in a special “Chinese Candy Box” packaging set. Traditionally, Lunar New Year celebrations include offering sweets and other edible treats from a red lacquer box to ensure a “sweet” year. Honoring this custom, the Nike Clot Air Force 1 packaging is a hexagonal red box with a partitioned tray layer, to hold shoe accessories, and matching lid. The box’s exterior is adorned with Clot graphics in black.

Shepard Fairey George Orwell Series

Artist of the moment Shepard Fairey’s work for 2008 was certainly not limited to the now ubiquitous image of Obama. Fairey was also commissioned by Penguin Books to design covers for the re-release of the Orwell classics 1984 and Animal Farm. Both covers have been produced as posters, which sold quickly at the initial UK launch. Obey will be offering them to US customers on December 31, 2008. The pair hits for $140. (Via The Art Collectors).
Biggie x Barron x SSUR | T-Shirt Collaboration

SSUR is proud to announce the release of the Notorious BIG collaboration tee. The King of Brooklyn 3 style tee release, which is scheduled to drop early January of 2009, will be sold exclusively at SSURPLUS in NYC, online at www.ssurempirestate.com and selected boutiques around the world.
Widely acclaimed photographer Barron Claiborne’s portrait of B.I.G. (taken a couple of days prior to the tragic death) would become the last and most notorious image of the legendary rapper (as well as the most bootlegged hip hop photograph ever taken). Barron, a long time friend and patron of SSUR, collaborated on a triptych of tees celebrating the famed image, presenting a true depiction of this widely misused portrait in all media (and formats).
SSUR, also hailing from Brooklyn, NY, added his artistic take on the Claiborne reproduction by creating a morphing effect of guns. Depicting an image which ultimately caused the death and silencing of the lyrical genius.
A.P.C. Spring/Summer 2009 Footwear
Today we can already give you a preview what to expect in terms of footwear from French brand A.P.C. The brand as usual keeps it simple and classic, while adding a bit of their own style to it. Two boat shoes are coming in brown and navy blue, featuring white leather laces and a matching all white leather sole. Also they present black and brown leather shoes, that work both casual and on the more dressy occasions.
Overall a solid line-up of footwear. Also do not forget their Nike collaboration (huummm), that is coming as well this season.
