NIKE SB HIGH PREMIUM-CHROMEBALL INCIDENT

If you are abreast to the bountiful rumors on the latest sneaker releases, you most likely heard the term Chromeball Incident.  Set to launch as part of the Nike SB exclusive line-up, one version of the innuendo had the name derived from an olde comic stripe by legendary skater, Neil Blender.  The other, oddly enough, had the sneakers’ design fashioned after the classic Airwalk Enigma. (there is an uncanny resemblance of the two)  Whatever the backstory might be, it does make an intriguing read.  Set to launch in mid or late summer as part of the Nike SB quickstrike package. via: N-SB.org

NEW IPHONE 4*****GET ONE!

I don’t know if you’ve heard or not, but there was a lot of controversy surrounding Apple’s secret iPhone prototype, which was either lost by or stolen from one of their engineers a few months back. The whole incident, which is currently under investigation, basically exposed what many believed to be the next generation iPhone. Since then, many have been holding their breathe and waiting to see if the new iPhone was actually the same prototype that was leaked earlier. And today, finally, after all the hype, it happened, Apple revealed their new iPhone 4.

It turns out the new iPhone 4 looks exactly like the leaked prototype, but that doesn’t change the fact that Apple’s new device is a huge step in the direction of mobile phone innovation. The overall design is thin with glass on the front and back, a 5 megapixel camera with LED Flash, and a front facing camera for video calling dubbed FaceTime. Other notable features include Apple’s new iOS4 software, the IPS and Retina display for better viewing angles & resolution, HD video recording, gyroscope, and noise cancellation.

The iPhone 4 will be available in black and white on June 24th with pricing set at $199 for 16GB and $299 for 32GB on a 2 year contract with AT&T. Now that the cat’s officially out the bag, are you getting one?

STUSSY X G-SHOCK 30TH ANNIVERSARY WATCH ******HOT!

Continuing its dynamic 30th Anniversary special projects and in following the advice of one of its favorite quotes: “In this great future you can’t forget you past,” Stussy revisits one of its first collaborations with Casio G-SHOCK. First appearing in 1983, Casio’s G-SHOCK watch became a must-have casual, durable digital style with explosive growth in the 1990s. In 1998, Stussy released its collaboration with G-SHOCK, a first for both brands. The latest version of the Stussy x G-SHOCK Classic includes a black resin band with a Stussy “Anniversary Blue” face in a glossy finish. The buckle, buttons, back cover, and metal elements are plated in a blue ion finish. The timepiece comes in a black matte case with a Stussy 30th Anniversary logo embossed interior. It will become available starting June 19th, 2010 via Stussy Chapter stores worldwide. Retail is set at $250 USD.

********ABSOLUTE X SPIKE LEE********* "ABSOLUTE BROOKLYN"

The world’s most iconic vodka, in collaboration with famed filmmaker and Brooklyn son Spike Lee, unveils ABSOLUT Brooklyn, the latest limited-edition, city-inspired flavor to be added to the ABSOLUT Vodka flavor portfolio. Capturing the vibrancy, diversity and rich heritage of New York City’s most celebrated borough, ABSOLUT Brooklyn features an invigorating blend of red apple and ginger replete in a specially-designed bottle reminiscent of the ubiquitous “Brooklyn Stoop Life.” Designed in collaboration with Spike Lee, the bottle is a colorful depiction of the stoop where the Brooklyn-bred auteur grew up – #165. Harkening back to the decades-long notion that the stoop is truly the epicenter of creativity, culture and community, the bottle serves as an homage to that Brooklyn ideal of stoop life – where memories are made and ideas are sparked through conversation and camaraderie. Other subtle nods include Brooklyn nicknames on the steps of the stoop and a line from a love letter to Brooklyn, written by spoken word poet and Brooklynite Lemon Andersen. In addition, the Lars Olsson Smith seal, never before altered on the iconic ABSOLUT bottle, has been “Spiked” – Lars wears a baseball cap and glasses evocative of Spike Lee.

*****JORDAN INFARED 6 PACK OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE*******STRAIGHT FIRE!

After showing you detailed photos of the Air Jordan 6 “Infrared” Pack and its packaging, we have now learned that this highly-anticipated sneaker pairing will officially hit the U.S. on June 19th, 2010 for $310.

This news comes as a pleasant surprise considering preliminary news regarding this pack stated that it would be an Asia-exclusive. On the contrary, the price aspect of the pack comes as no surprise considering the Air Jordan Countdown Packs sold for the same price in 2008. It is great to finally see theAir Jordan 6 Infrared Pack’s release come full circle considering it was merely a rumor in which most of us thought was a longshot to actually release.

How does the Air Jordan 6 Infrared Pack rank amongst all of the Air Jordan double packs to ever release?
