FinishLine

Today’s Wall Street Journal featured a little article about FinishLine’s recent advertising blitz that features a new website and a social networking site. Check it out, if you’re so inclined. It’s interesting to see how the mass market is dealing with the sneaker craze.

Four Feet High and Rising

Kaws just sold 100 of these 4 footers for $2500 a piece. Truth be told, we kind of want one, but they’re sold out. If you’ve got one for us (to sell us or give for free), we’ll gladly take one. The office could use a new decoration.

Appealing Behavior

From these Mass Appeal/Missbehave covers, a few conclusions can be drawn:

1.) They like the color blue.
2.) They like the color yellow.
3.) They like gradients.
4.) They like the hands on the hips pose.
5.) They’ve downloaded the majority of the fonts from dafont.com
6.) They enjoy making similar covers.
All jokes aside, they’re still pretty dope magazines. Go read ‘em.

The Agony of Defeat

So, as always, the inevitable happened. Fate/Destiny took its course. The Phillies notched their 10,000th lose and bronzed their place in history as the losingest team in all sports. Frankly, so what? The only people who really seemed to care, who perched on the edge of their seats in anticipation, who drew excitement from a loss, were the media and rivals–the expected. The players didn’t seem to care, nor did the fans as they stood on their feet, cheering with a perverted sense of pride as Ryan Howard’s third strike blew the digit counter over from all nines. As that fateful bell tolled, it failed to signal anything except the last morsel of the media’s lone bone being swallowed by a predictable, meditated, and trite article that was bound to happen–hardly your crowning achievement or award-winning story. Now what? Go Phillies. That’s all. Instead of trashing the organization that gives you your day job, sports writers, why not get behind the team? Why not lend your hand to the thousands who pour into Citizens Bank Park to watch their Phillies. To cheer and boo with the team. To marvel in their wins. To sulk in defeat. They’re your darlings, your magnificent beautiful sons, when they win, and freakish, hideous monstrosities worthy only of bitterness, unlove, and lashes from the whip when they fail to meet your lofty, unattainable expectations. Show them love, and perhaps, just maybe, the Phillies will trade in the crown of thorns for a trophy.

Wild in the Streets

This shit is crazy.

Emerica Wild in the Streets 2007 Vancouver, Canada.

Excuse the screenshot, it’s hard to capture 500 skateboarders in a YouTube video. Just watch it. It’s nutty.

Guys and Dolls

Frank 151 posted this video up about a Japanese man’s obsession with “love dolls.”
 

Now, while we got love for Frank and our homie Craig Wetherby, we had to one up them with this 45 Minute video about a few men who use these love dolls for companionship more so than the sex. Seriously. I got through the second segment before I was so creeped out that I had to stop watching. Enjoy!!!

PS - This one definitely gets the “Uncategorized” treatment.

Scary Sneakers

Complex just posted these Halloween themed sneakers from Reebok. They’re probably coming out around, you guessed it, Halloween. There’s also a Freddy Kreuger one, but they haven’t released a picture of that one yet. Not sure I’m really feeling the design, it seems like there’s a lot more they could have done with them, but it’s still an interesting concept. Toys not included.

Movie review time people . . .

TRANSfORMERS

Growing up in the 80’s was without a doubt the best time for a kid to grow up. Why? You ask, because of the amazing cartoons of course. You had G.I. JOES, He-man, Thunder cats and of course transformers to mention a few. Well they finally made a live action movie for transformers, and if you grew up watching the cartoon you’ll absolutely love this movie. Along with the amazing special Fx, and the nostalgic aspects of this movie Shia LaBeouf does a phenomenal job along side the beautiful Megan Fox. And with the nonstop action its hard to turn away. A must see of the summer.
