My Music Discovery:Rick Lucy

Everyday I receive tons of friend requests from musicians on Imeem. Most of them I just add to my friends list without out looking at the profile. But this particular musician I had to check out, I mean someone who has a breast on the album cover is worth checking out right? So I'm on his profile and I click on the song Expatriate and let me say that song took me to a whole-new-level. What's great about Rick is that his identity is a mystery and so is his sound. Its all over the place but in a good way. His sound is so unique and freshing, that I think I just found the song to my upcoming dance video.

adidas Game Mid for women

These aren't the first Game Mids to drop, nor the most exclusive, but you guys know how much I love a good high top, plus the joy of finding a nice sneaker at a regular spot, without all the drama and hype that can be so truly undramatic! Plus they have some cool colors and great fabrics, and to top off the good news, adidas made these especially for the ladies. Cooool. Available at all kinds of spots: karmaloop, zappos, david z, and more... Mostly $79-$89.


?UEST LOVE 1WORLD AIR FORCE 1


NIKE partnered with the multi-talented musician Ahmir Thompson, better known as ?UESTLOVE (Questlove).
Quest: “I just wanted to start off with a very loud statement, a sneaker that sort of has 12 exclamation points behind it," says ?UESTLOVE. "Something that just screams “Rahhhhrr” so you know, this is an extension of my personality. The inside (of the shoe) is of me drumming. Yeah, inside art is very important to me. Even though you’re the only person that sees it from a consumer standpoint but, I sorta know you put a lot of work into it as a designer, based on how your shoe is designed on the sole.”

The ?UESTLOVE 1World Air Force I will be available exclusively at ALIFE RIVINGTON CLUB this Friday, August 1st.

Store opens at 11 a.m., ?UESTLOVE 1World Air Force I goes on sale at 4 p.m.

?UESTLOVE will be on site hosting a private courtyard reception for all those who purchase his shoe from 5:30 to 8 p.m.

Interview with Zoe from Sneakart


Ever wanted to have the skill to customize your own sneakers? Then when you try to actually do it the result is quite...uh...disappointing? No longer is that the end of the story, thanks to Zoe Gilbertson and her husband Ollie. After years working inside the sneaker industry, the co-founders of Sneakart figured out how to hand over sneaker design to actual sneaker fiends. I recently caught up with Zoe to find out what it's like running her own business and what's next in the brave new world of "sneakskin"...
Click here to check out the full interview on FSF.
P.S. FSF will be hosting a small invite-only Sneakart party in Boston soon. If you are interested in coming, let me know.

R.I.P DJ K-Swift


Baltimore's DJ K-Swift Found Dead At Her Home



BALTIMORE (WJZ) ― Music fans in Baltimore are in mourning.

A popular and groundbreaking DJ at a top radio station is dead, and now city police are investigating.

Adam May reports the body of 29-year-old Khia Edgerton, also known as "K-Swift" was found Monday morning at her northeast Baltimore home in the 4300-block of Arizona Avenue.

Police initially responded to Good Samaritan Hospital for crowd control. They interviewed people there.

Fans are in absolute shock. They organized a vigil at the Woodlawn radio station 92Q where K-Swift was a DJ.

Messages of mourning could be heard on the airwaves between shows on 92Q Monday after K-Swift's death. She was first put on air by Neke Howse. "I have this insight that I can just tell. I just knew she has it, or had it," said Howse.

There are now growing questions surrounding her death.

They say K-Swift was giving a pool party at her home earlier in the day. They're investigating whether or not she consumed alcohol before getting into the pool.

Witnesses told police there were several people in the pool when Edgerton jumped in, but none of the swimmers were alarmed when she didn't immediately resurface.

"I've known her so long, and it just hurts cause I'm waiting for her to hit me on Yahoo! To instant message or text me, just walk through the studio doors, and she's not," said K-Swift's best friend DJ Kelson.

There were also lifeguards present.

After time had passed and she still didn't surface, they got alarmed and jumped in.

They were able to pull her out to the side of the pool. Medics were called but no one at the party attempted CPR while they were waiting.

When medics got there, they attempted CPR to no avail. She was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

When police arrived at the house to investigate the pool was very cloudy and the area was dimly lit.

K-Swift was the co-host of Off the Hook Radio, heard Monday through Friday from 6-10pm on 92Q. K-Swift began working at Radio One over 10 years ago as an intern in the programming department.

During that time, she held the positions of on air personality, on air mixer, and mix show coordinator.

"She's going to be truly missed. We love her, and I never realized that I would feel this way for a co-worker that's a family member. We've been together since she was 17-years-old, so it's hard. It's really hard," said DJ Konan.

The station's general manager Howard Mazer says finding a replacement will be impossible.

"Not only was she great at what she did with mixing and creating her mixtapes, but just her personality was really special. And she was loved by people in Baltimore, really loved by people at the station," said Mazer.

Now her studio is empty and her mic silent.

"This is an incredible loss not only for Radio One, but for the entire community and music industry" said Neke Howse, Program Director of WERQ. "K-Swift was an incredible talent and human being. Not only am I fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with her for the past 10 years but also to be her friend."

K-Swift's career was not limited to radio broadcasting. K-Swift was a popular night club DJ who was featured at several weekly events in Baltimore.

She also owned her own graphics, production, and management company, "Club Queen Entertainment".

K-Swift also had very strong ties to the community and loved working with children. She hosted several events for teens every year in addition to hosting many different charity events.

"Her love and passion for everything she did was the key to her success" said Howard Mazer, General Manager of Radio One Baltimore. "She is truly a person that both the radio and music industry will miss."

About the Print Plates
This is the very first time that the general public has been able to access a piece like this! Up for grabs is an aluminum print plate that was used to print issues of Sole Collector magazine. Usually, once an issue is printed, the plates are destroyed and recycled. This plate is also special in that it was the first time SC ever plated a full 8 page spread. Normally, just the cover is plated.

This plate is from the Jordan XXIII issue, so there is no doubt about it's rarity and collectors value. The plate comes professionally framed and measures 36” by 25”!




Good Luck! Thumbs Up

WORLD x Sweet Cheebah Launch Party!!



Something special will be dropping this Friday 7/18 at WORLD. A special co-brand piece that we did with our homeboy Sweet Cheeba. And to celebrate this special occassion we're gonna celebrate like its 1985 (hint hint). We decided to call this tee "To The Future" a nod to the classic 80's flick that served as inspiration. Now the word limited is seriously over used these days so we won't even get into that. But we can tell you that if you don't catch it on Friday, chances are you won't see it again. Here are the details: its going down this Friday 7/18 at WORLD 187 Chrystie Street (The backyard will also be open) from 5-8, free beer and redbull, sounds by Chet Wilmont, and a live performance by FRESH DAILY! Check the blog for more info.

FSF interview with Byata from Miss Rap Supreme

Anybody who saw an episode of Miss Rap Supreme knows that Byata does not play. Pulling from her Russian roots, adding the grit of New York City, and spitting lyrics both rock hard and sexy smooth, she's definitely making moves. FSF caught up with her cuz A-money heard she was a sneaker fiend. Turns out she's got a supreme love for her kicks....

What do sneakers say about her? "Females are not supposed to be sneaker fiends. They’re supposed to wear boots, stilettos, stuff like that. It’s a little different. If you a cool chick who has a cool sneaker game, it says something. Like you can run, you can get hurt, you can fall, you’re ready for shit. It says something about you. " Check out the interview to learn more about her life growing up as a Russian rapper on Coney Island, and who she thinks mighta been rocking fakes on Miss Rap Supreme!

Victoria's Secret model Marisa Miller has teamed up to created two pairs of Vans. Her collection features the SK8 HI and classic Slip-On. A sunny surfing theme is featured on each.

the Commitment Nike exhibit


I think if I go to Nike's new Commitment exhibit, I will be moved to tears. I'm both a sap and a baller. Without knowing why, I usually cry when my favorite teams win championships. This exhibit documents so many amazing Olympic basketball moments, and I'm one who's old enough to really remember the original Dream Team. Beautiful.


But this exhibit is a tribute not only to the commitment of these phenomenal athletes.
It's equal parts basketball, patriotism and Nikeotism.


And I don't think I'll go. I love the commitment of these athletes. I love the sneakers.


But the exhibit makes me mad. The women's team is completely ignored. Is their commitment any less? Of course not. Will there be another Commitment exhibit set up that honors them? I doubt it. You'd think the women's team was wearing adidas for all the love they get! Does Nike care what this exhibit says to the girls of Harlem and beyond who visit? Does it have any commitment to them?

The Commitment exhibition runs from July 10 through August 25 and is open to the public Thursday through Sunday from 10am until 8pm.

Sneakart! Check out the magic of sneakskin...

I've always had more of an eye than a talent for customizing. I've tried here and there, but the difference between what I imagined and what came out was always disappointing. (Maybe that's part of my extreme respect for successful customizers!) In any case, for others like me, we have a new option! Sneakart looks cool as hell. It is a high tech version of stickers for your sneakers. This sneaker-friendly film makes you look either like you just bought a brand new set of kicks that everyone's gonna be breaking necks for, or like you're an amazing artist. Not bad! Check out some examples from the site:







The "sneakskin" comes in pattern sheets as well as pre-cut stickers, which you can combine as you like. In addition, you can create your own images, and have them printed on sneakskin, and even get royalties if you want to have others on the site able to buy them! And then, just cuz this is the 21st century, the site also comes with a very useful forum for folks to share ideas and solutions (like how to avoid wrinkles on toe boxes), and a way for you to rank other members' examples. Have fun! I'll post again once I've tried it myself.
www.sneakart.com
P.S. Also cool:
Site is co-founded and run by a woman.
Part of their mission is to have folks rejuvenate their kicks instead of always buying new ones. Saving cows, earth's resources and all that.

dunkxchange on karmaloopTV

Hey Gary! Nice to see you on teevee...how come you didn't give Boston a shout out??

adidas consortium pack

adidas has a great new Consortium pack, having teamed up with premium stores repping all 26 letters of the alphabet for this monstrous and creative mega-collab on the adidas AZX. The first 8 (aka A-H) are on their way, featuring gorgeous (and alphabet friendly) kicks by: ACU (CLOT), Bodega, Colette, D-Mop, Limited Editions, Foot Patrol, Good Foot, and HUF.

Here are the first eight. For detailed pics and descriptions of each shoe, check out the piece by our friends at freshnessmag.com.
Above: bodega's super hot B.
Below, Goodfoot's G, beautiful and made out of recycled materials!

All of these point to the beauty of the AZX and the creativity of the collaborators. These kicks can stand alone, unlike last year when adidas felt the need to lean on the dull dull dull use T&A (for those of you who missed it, see below). adidas might have more respect for its product with this Consortium product. And I think it's well deserved!
UGH. Does this remind anyone of that awful old Pony ad in Times Square?

check out these Heydays!


I love 'em! They only go down to a men's size 8, so, if you're a size 8 men's or larger, check out heydayfootwear.com for the other cool colorways and rich materials. (Plus a list of where you can buy them.)

And breaking news, Heyday is dropping its first women's line of sneakers for the Spring. They'll be debuting at the Compass Show in Vegas at the end of this month (July 28th and 29th for you Vegas goers...). Here are a couple sneak peaks:


They're made of the softest Italian leathers and suedes you can imagine, and I love the colors! He makes me nervous how he mixes sneaker, shoe and boot elements, but that's cuz I'm waaay more traditional. Tell me what you think.

Toofly--larger than life

Okay, some of you may have already seen it up, but some of us had to check it out online. Either way, here's Toofly's "staying true" billboard for her Project Colorize Ray-Ban collab. Our girl's larger than life! Go Toofly!

And if you look back 15 years (could it have been that long ago?), here's lil Toofly's first billboard:

Nice work!

Marc Jacobs Fall Collection


Hey A-Money! I thought about you when I saw these! Kinda spacey but I do like how the MJ protrudes off the kicks. These will be available this fall and also come in all white.

Marge Simpson Dunk Hi


I know I like Marge Simpson, and in an ode to the millions of females who also love her, Nike has released a pair after her! I love the soft blue and green but I think the bottom sole should have been either the same blue or green. They are to be released in Singapore.

Artists that you should get into:Little Jackie


I am a fierce music head. I will literally stay up 22 hrs straight just listening to different types of music and downloading them. And one of the Artist that I got hip to quick was Little Jackie. Little Jackie consists of Imani Coppola, (you guys remember her from her 1997 debut single "Legend of a Cowgirl") and producer Adam Pallin. Their sound is a mix of hip-hop and soul and their new album "The Stoop" Drops July the 8th!!! You know Miss Money is coppin it!! Here is their video "The World Should Revolve Around Me"



To show Little Jackie some love hit them up on myspace:www.myspace.com/littlejackiemusic
