Third time's the charm

The Louis Vutton Don is partnering with the real Louis Vutton Don for six designs of sneakers. The first two didn't really tickle my fancy, but these shoes right here....THESE SHOES RIGHT HERE....are BAD!....like Halle Berry bad.....like Michael Jackson late 1980's bad....like Jordan 96' bad!......BUT unless the bookstore buys back these books of "higher education" for the price that I paid for them, I shall NOT be rocking them. The price point is too rich for my blood. I'll stick to my dunks & blazers. Until next time...Find your swank. Think insane. Be urbane.

Velcro is for LOSERS!

Do you remember when you wouldn't be caught dead with velcro sneakers (that your favorite janitor wears) on the first day of school? Well Nike has teamed up with your high school's chess team to give the nerds their proper revenge. You MIGHT catch me with these....on the low-low...low, low, low....like going to the matinee with my little sister. Until next time... Find your swank. Think insane. Be Urbane.

Cool Quote of the Week

Asher Roth

We've been pompous every since Columbus couldn’t work a compass
We've accomplished what we've conjured up while conscious
And consciously we’ve conquered all the eye can see
Constantly concocting more options but jobs are still obsolete
It seems so odd to me an odyssey
How honesty is honestly the rawest thing upon us it’s astonishing
How did all the honest people vanish from the planet?
Leaving us a laundry list of problems to acknowledge
While plotting with my phonics me and sonic and B.o.B.
(Non chomp)? arises as I sit down and sketch my rhymes
Stretch my mind, to figure out what’s next in line
The next Em, 'Ye, and Andre nah homie...its just been a longggg, a long time coming

Bare Witness To John Flynn...

Urbane Society: You be the judge....

Now there is no doubt that Kanye West is the essence of the urbane, smart, creative, talented citizen that encapsulates the spirit of this blog and its two writers. Yeezy is also (arguably) THE most influential style icon of this new century from his pink polos and diamond studded chains to his slim cut Dior Jeans and limited edition Nikes. The man is a walking stylistic paradox, high fashion but yet and still connected to his hip-hop roots. Speaking of his sartorial genius (or insanity depending on your perspective) we turn to Yeezy's foray into the fashion industry. He has several projects in progress including his upcoming Pastell clothing line and his highly anticipated footwear collaboration with none other than the incomparable luxury giant; Louis Vuitton. The picture above is one model of a sneaker/boatshoe that Yeezy designed and Louis Vuitton produced. Now, I'm not really one for white shoes; sneakers or otherwise and I'm really a proponent of shoes staying in one category i.e. if Yeezy wanted to make a boatshoe, then make a traditional boatshoe but that's just me. My personal preferences aside, one can really see the craftsmanship and detail Louis Vuitton is known for combined with the high-fashion influences and streetwear comfortability that comprises Yeezy's style. A very brave and creative foot forward for Mr. West and I applaud him for contributing to the high fashion scene from the perspective of a hip-hop fan and a black male. Now, all of you out there in Urbane Society; YOU be the judge....

One step for Hip Hop...

Got Loyalty?

As I was awakened by the Sportscenter theme...dun nu nuh dun nu nuh.....I hear the day's headlines murmur in the background, and then the alarm goes off. No not the clock. I hear "The New England Patriots are giving Matt Cassell the franchise tag next season." I sit up and stare at the television in bewilderment for about 5 minutes. With snarl I think to myself ," You give the BACK UP quarterback the franchise tag!" Sure he carried the Bradyless Patriots to an unexpected 11-5, but Brady gave you a brand name. You can't coach that. The last time Matt Cassell started for a football team, I was in 8th grade....! As soon as NFL teams watch tapes of him, it will be over. BUT, I shouldn't have judged the book by its cover.

Upon more research, I find out that America's favorite quarterback, Tom Brady hasn't been going to rehab and has a staff infection in the knee in which he had surgery. Disgusting right? I know. Why has he been missing rehab? He's has ambitious of being Tinsle Town's favorite pretty boy, or so it seems. As a result of his delinquency, he will miss all of next season as well, because he had to undergo the same procedure, again.

So is giving Matt Cassell the franchise tag supposed to serve as a wake up call? Or is Brady's four quarters of fame over? If you remember correctly, Tom Brady was the back up quarterback after Drew Bledsoe until he suffered a season ending injury. You live by back-up, you die by the back-up....

Until next time...Find your swank. Think insane. Be Urbane.

Wally got his own sneakers?!?

Ok maybe my kohort doesn't ride professionally for Supra but best believe his GRIND technique is anything but amateur. Here are some cool sneakers made by skate brand; Supra, aptly named "Vega". More colorways are sure to follow so skaters and sneakerheads go cop til your hearts content. One to rock one to stock. As always may the force be with you.
