JBF Customs: Nike Air Force 1 “Bape 1st Camo” – INCOMPARABLE

nike-air-force-1-bape-1st-camo-incomparable-custom-by-jbf-customs-01

We live in an era where people demand something very rare and the people take it upon themselves to produce such work. This time around JBF Customs went to work by bridging the gap between highly sought after Japanese street-wear brand Bape with world-wide Nike with a classic Nike Air Force 1. The easiest way to describe this shoe is “Incomparable,” which is the name. JBF Customs took the popular well-known camo print of Bape’s 1st print and joined that together with accents of leather on a basic high top Air Force 1. This shoe was produced for John Geiger, Marketing and Business Manager to Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ own Darrelle Revis who is known to have his ties with fashion.

My name is Dean Walker and I’m a Hypebeast!. I’ve just read this great article on Complex and realised Ive been a few of the evolution of the Hypebeast. How many can you releate to? Remember the first step to revovery is to admit you have a problem.

Since the dawn of time, there has always been “that guy” who takes a trend way too far. Maybe it started with some neanderthal who thought he would start rocking his loincloth a certain way, or a colonial cornball who wanted to channel Ben Franklin’s bifocals and a white wig with the ill knickerbockers and buckle shoes look. While that stuff can’t historically be proven, we can certainly look back at the past couple of years of trends and point to one unifying cause: the Internet.

NFL Preview Power Rankings: Team #17

Posted in Sports by

Non Sequitur Sports

Today’s team was supposed to take the NFL by storm last season, but ended up having a dismal start going 3-9 through their first 12 games. However, they rallied late in the season, reeling off their last 4 games to finish a respectable 7-9. Despite their  poor record and occasionally abysmal play, the Carolina Panthers are a highly talented team with the chance to make some noise in the NFC playoff picture if they play to their strengths.

Team #17: Carolina Panthers

Overview:

This is a team that will only go as far as its coaching and quarterback can take it. The defense is a solid group that only seems to get better with each passing season, but the offense occasionally left me dazed, confused, and ultimately hysterical in the few early season Panthers games I watched last season. Early on, it seemed as if Ron Rivera wanted to use…

Converse is back with another collaboration that will leave you wanting more. Camo I believe will never die and as far as original camo, well that has been dead for sometime now but Bape camo, light camo, color camo and every other camo is still going strong and will for a very long time. The kicks are very much a classic and will always be a hit among the people Jack purcell has hit it on the head once again with the grape camo which feature the traditional canvas uppers, polished eyelets and low-profile rubber soles, while an earthy “grape” camouflage print provides the sneakers with an attention-grabbing twist, the Converse Jack Purcell “Grape Camo” is now available from American Rag for $75. Hit the jump for more detailed pics of the kicks.

5 Classic Michael Jackson Lyrics We Love But Don’t Understand

Hot 107.9 - Hot Spot ATL

Today, we celebrate what would have been the 52nd birthday of the King of Pop music, Michael Jackson. A man whose talent was as limitless as his acclaim that left us too soon but gave us a catalog of classics to remember him by.

And remember we do… except when we don’t.

Now don’t get me wrong, Michael was a genius when it came to music and there’s no one around who doesn’t have at least one favorite song by Mike. But things get a little sticky when you realize that Mike could get a bit loose with the letters and not everything made sense…

We here at TUD decided now would be a good time to clear up some of the moments in Michael’s catalog that are guaranteed to get a bit awkward during your living room Karaoke night.

By now, you should have all heard about a rumored shoving match that took place between Diddy and rapper J. Cole. According to various reports, Diddy was insanely drunk at his VMAs after party and went to confront Kendrick Lamar over his verse on Big Sean’s “Control.” However, J. Cole stopped him and being drunk, Diddy began to push and shove J. Cole. Diddy tweeted that they were friends and just had an exchanging of words. You’re probably wondering what any of this has to do with 50 Cent, right?
