Wool is cool for the winter and all but there are other textile options to consider. The grampa-esque neglected step-child, corduroy has the perfect texture to keep you warm through this blistering cold. The compiled fabrics form vertical ridges called wales that eminently trap heat. Worn casually, corduroy generally comes in the form of blazers and pants but many designers this season are incorporating the textile in shoes and accessories. From the sick Sperry Top-Sider x Band of Outsiders... Read Full Story

Most collaborations seem to follow a specific pattern —a newer “street” company links up with an older “heritage” brand to revamp and restyle some “iconic” product. The “street” company gets some historical heft, and the “heritage” company gets some up-to-date cool. Everybody wins. Well, usually. But this collab is different. Here you have two heritage brands—Dickies, established in 1922, and Converse, established in 1908 – combining forces on a truly iconic silhouette – the venerable Chuck... Read Full Story

No, not this guy—though that’s pretty much our mental picture of him. We, like so many people out there, like to peruse the NeoGAF forums from time to time. But we don’t often expect to find hilarious stories of child abuse on there like we did today! In between the threads on Dead Space 2 and Kinect sales figures, we spied the subject line “ What’s the worst fit of gaming rage you’ve ever had? ” and instantly knew we had to investigate. Thankfully, the original poster didn’t disappoint... Read Full Story

This week, Kayden takes a look at the oft-forgotten side of her downtown L.A. neighborhood. Here’s what I know about Skid Row: Nathaniel Ayers is a local celebrity. He lives around the neighborhood and we all claim to have seen him, by the Beethoven statue, with the pigeons, or playing to an empty house in the tunnel downtown. He was an accomplished musician at Julliard before schizophrenia took over and the subsequent downward spiral that landed him on Skid Row. Then a local reporter got... Read Full Story

Once you reach a heightened plateau it is generally quite difficult to remain atop the game, but when it comes to one of Nike’s most iconic silhouettes in the Air Max 1, they’ve managed to continually produce solid drop after drop. For the latest Air Max 1 ACG, the classic sneaker utilizes canvas and is offered in a bevy of beautiful blues or a brighter option of purple, red, and navy. Both schemes feature a pair of 3M (reflective) ACG logos mounted atop the tongue and on the heel and are... Read Full Story

Let us start by saying this: Brett Favre ’s sister is gully. Seriously gully. While #4’s been putting together a Hall of Fame career on the football field, his younger sister Brandi has been putting together a rap sheet that’d make DMX proud. First, she got popped on unlawful use of a weapon charges in 1996 in connection with a drive-by shooting in Slidell, Louisiana (side note: WTF?!). Then, she got booked on felony shoplifting charges in 1999 alongside her sister-in-law. And now, she’s been... Read Full Story
