Chuck Inglish and Mikey Rocks came onto the scene rocking tank tops and snapbacks

Back in 2007, Chuck Inglish and Mikey Rocks came onto the scene rocking tank tops and snapbacks, rapping about bike tires and vintage kicks. While their impact on the culture is certainly visible, a commercial release has not been. After a series of label woes and push backs, The Cool Kids are back on top with their debut album When Fish Ride Bicycles. Rather than trap themselves in creative purgatory, Chuck and Mikey reignited and expanded their core sound for a release that’s bigger and deffer than any of their previous mixtapes or EPs. We caught up with the duo to discuss the album, their recording process, and of course Penny Hardaway.

Nike SB Dunk Hi “Jägermeister”

We can always expect Nike SB to consistently draw inspiration from various drinks (see our Sneaker Suds: Our 17 Favorite Drink Inspired Kicks feature). The latest drink inspired shoes comes in the form of this Nike SB Dunk Hi “Jägermeister”. This creation obviously borrows the color scheme seen on the Jägermeister liqueur bottle. Hunter Green (Jäger = hunter in German) is seen on the toe box in leather and on the tongue in mesh. Black suede dominates the majority of the upper, while orange branding completes its tri-tone look. Look for the Nike SB Dunk Hi “Jägermeister” to release during the holiday season.

Nike Zoom KD III “Scoring Title”

Being the NBA Scoring Leader two years in a row may not have earned “the Durantula” an NBA Championship just yet but it has given Nike new reasons to create some of the most eye-catching colorways on the market. In addition to the Nike Zoom KD III “Horse Hair” samples we saw earlier today, we now have a good look at the Nike Zoom KD III “Scoring Title” colorway. This pair features a predominately white leather base tone that is complimented with hidden-word graphics that are almost laser-thin.  Messages like Barry Farm, a historic basketball playground in his hometown of Washington, D.C., and Durant’s hometown of Seat Pleasant, MD can be seen easily while others are not so easily deciphered. Check out more images below and let us know if this will be a pair you cop.

Kenny Appoints Himself MFCEO of K-Swiss

Baseball’s biggest bad boy isn’t just shilling Tubes for K-Swiss anymore. Instead, Kenny Powers has purchased 51% of the company and appointed himself the MFCEO.

Watch and enjoy but youngins, don’t repeat this language at home.

Vans Half Cab “20th Anniversary” Collection

It’s been almost twenty years since Steve Caballero and Vans teamed up to release the Half Cab to the world.

These five releases, and likely many more, will begin landing in stores in early 2012.

Nike Air Yeezy 2 Additional Details

This past April, the sneaker community took great notice when Kanye West was spotted wearing the Nike Air Yeezy 2 in London. Since then, information on this shoe has been scarce, although this highly-anticipated shoe is still scheduled to hit retailers this fall. We still do not have a solid, confirmed release date, however, we have now learned that the Nike Air Yeezy 2 will release in five total colorways as opposed to the three colors of 2009′s Nike Air Yeezy. In detail, three colorways will release exclusively at US retailers, while one will only be available to Europe retailers. Lastly, Nike will create one specifically for Asia retailers as well. You thought it was tough to get your hands on all three Nike Air Yeezy colorways? Imagine how tough it will be to snag all five Nike Air Yeezy 2 colorways!Nike Air Yeezy 2

Hermes Catenina Silk Bag

I love a good print as much as anyone in the world, which means that things like Style.com’s recent feature on the resurgence of traditional scarf patterns are like crack to me, particularly when they they lead off with a printed handbag. As is likely predictable when the worlds of purses and scarves collide, Hermes is the culprit. As is also predictable with the brand, the price for the Hermes Catenina Silk Bag is astronomical. But at $5450, the number even caught this veteran accessories fan off guard. Is there any way that you’d plunk down that much for a bag that wasn’t leather, encrusted in Swarovskis or some combination of the two?

Salvatore Ferragamo Alligator Travel Tote

Hats off to Amanda for holding down the PB fort as Vlad and I partake in a “vacation.” So far on this particular trip, we rarely check our email and keep swatting one another’s hands away when we see the other attempting to slyly work via our iPhones. But today, after a long day in the sun, we both caved and decided it was time to check in with you all. And this is a particularly fun check-in, because I come bearing handbag eye-candy.
Behold, this amazing oversized Salvatore Ferragamo travel tote. A few years ago Ferragamo caught my eye with its Carlotta tote and I was in love. I imagined it being my weekend bag in the back of my super cool imaginary convertible on our way to our imaginary Hamptons home. But I have found a replacement to drain my imaginary bank account filled with copious amounts of imaginary money, and it’s this exotic Salvatore Ferragamo Alligator Travel Tote.
