Resilience. I made this in 2D Design Class and initially I started wondering about the world and how so many people aren’t in tune with reality. Violence always seems to be the answer to almost every situation and rarely do we take the time to sit down and think. The challenge is finding help when you need it the most, and that’s not always easy. But in spite of all things you must confide in what you know to be true and continue to persevere.
Anraud Janvier, a recent graduate of Supinfocom, wrote in to let us know about a music video he recently co-directed withAntoine Robert at Cube Creative for 77 Bombay Street. The song describes a perfect little utopia that exists above the clouds and the bright, whimsical and weird visuals drip with a naive innocence the mirrors the optimistic vibe. It’s feel-good sunshine from start to finish but, seeing as I’m partial to wormholes, my favorite sequence kicked off at 2:33 when the Mii-esque rendered cast plunged directly into a technicolor tunnel via a blossoming Lotus flower. That shit’s mah jam, bruh. When you’re done here, be sure to check out Playing With Light, an excellent little short produced at Cube two summers ago. Enjoy
It’s always hard trying to figure what’s need, because a lot of times people don’t always understand what you want to convey. I guess it’s not a matter of what’s wrong and what’s right, but rather its just a way of dealing with the pressure that life seems to have us under every day. Not all of what do is going to be perfect, but at the very least it should be worth your time. I think it’s much more insightful when we decide on our own to step outside the boundaries and look for our own way of coping with trivialities. But regardless, you still have to smile … Even if it is hard sometimes.

The Pro Letarians take the stage once again with their sophomore mixtape entitled “Not All Of Me Shall Die”. Jupiter Jim along with sound engineer J.O. begin to grow in their trackline instrumentals and lyrically as well. With songs like “Stratosfears and “Dream Catcher” the hip hop duo take on a new approach to the rap game with poetic styled rhymes and souful beats. No doubt these two are going to be great. Even though its hard trying to listen to underground artists, head over to Datpiff to download the tape.
What was initially a Photoshop mock up and “What If” scenario, sneaker collectors and fans alike of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 may now rejoice as the word on a third Nike Air Yeezy 2 colorway has just been reconfirmed by Gentry himself via Twitter. Currently “in the works”, there still remains to be unknown information as to whether or not the sneaker will see a “Bred” or “Infrared” motif. As speculation will rise with the announcement of today’s news, we’ll all just have to sit back and wait to see exactly what Nike has up their sleeves with this one. When will the third Nike Air Yeezy 2 colorway release? Who knows.
Its Thursday everybody! And today were featuring a throwback cap, the PC New Era Chief. The cap features a raised embroidery of the “Jack” head logo in an Indian Chief orientation.

Pictured above along with the cap are the Gourmet Quadici Duck Boots and will compliment your fit, without sacrificing quality.
When it comes to cool kicks, nothing compares with a pair of Vans. Unless it’s Vans with Pendleton plaid and the design zing of painter-illustrator-graphic designer Taka Hayashi. The Vans Vault slip-ons and nouveau sneakers marry our legendary wool jacquard fabric with the premium leather Hayashi loves. The slip-ons have wool uppers and contrast, hand-stitched leather at the base of the uppers, on the heels and at the ankles. The leather high top is embellished with cut outs, topstitching and Pendleton’s colorful Native American-inspired wool jacquard. If you’re looking to walk on the wild side, here’s a chance to do it with the pros and inimitable style.
