Puma Suede - 1968 Olympics Black Power Salute

PUMA will pay tribute to African-American athlete Tommie Smith with the release of these Suede Lo’s. At the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, Smith won the 200m race in record time whilst his team mate, John Carlos, took bronze. They both ascended the awards podium shoeless to symbolize black poverty. When the national anthem played, they proceeded to bow their heads and raise their black-gloved fists -a sign of the Black Power Movement.



The pair were immediately booed by the crowd and expelled from the Olympic village for bringing political issues to the event. They faced further ostracization upon returning to their homeland, as did second place runner, the late Peter Norman from Australia, for sympathizing with them.



However, the statement was seen by millions and made headlines around the world. It brought the African-American protests happening around America to a worldwide audience and went down in history as the 1968 Olympics Black Power Salute.
It seems a tad ironic that these kicks are meant to represent a specific moment in time where the people involved did not want to wear any shoes. Nonetheless, the upcoming joints look unquestionably hot, blending together solid colourways with gold accents and an allover embossed-print of a clenched fist.


WORLD PREMIERE.......Vids from The Roots, and Pitbull

The Roots - Get Busy (Feat. Dice Raw, Peedi Crakk & DJ Jazzy Jeff)


Pitbull- The Anthem (I've been waiting for this one long time)

Broadway East...................Nice Place To Keep Your Cool.


Broadway East
171 E Broadway (between Rutgers and Jefferson)
New York, NY 10002
(212) 228-3100

"From a former chef of Napa's Domaine Chandon, BE's a veg-centric LES spot that makes itself approachably familiar to the everyman -- starting by eschewing the typical Krishna decor in favor of LES-chic trappings like exposed wood beams and a bar made from a reclaimed NYC water tower (shouts to Thrill)"....The only issue I've seen with this place is the menu which seems to service vegetarians more than anything. You can get your carnivore fixing in here as well, but I would stick with the Italian. it's definately a spot worth checking out!

Lucky Pic of the day..................Back On The Scene!

Johanna Desrosiers






It's 08, and Lucky is back on the scene with the team and pockets full of green.......joking people...I had to come back with a bang, and thanks to Johanna, I have two pictures that are straight FIRE. There are many reasons I chose these pictures and we can go from the colors she chooses, and how she matches them up with accesories, but you wanna know my main reason? She is officially "herself"....LuckysinLove promotes creativity and individualism, and she is displaying both of these in the pictures above. Her style is just that, "her style" plus lets face it, she's got a way with colors....there are clearly no gimmicks because the girl does her thing (accesories included)

Thank you Johanna for getting me back on the scene......

LuckysinLove Proudly Brings You Folk Clothing...................Simply Cool...

While a grown man might occasionally sport funky graphic tees, colorblocked track jackets, or billowing silken capes, the foundation of any wardrobe should be toned-down, high-quality basics. Get fundamental, with Folk Clothing. Launched in the UK in '05, Folk quickly established itself with its subdued classiness, its reluctance to chase trends has hyped up its staying power in such a saturated market.....











I Cant Forget You Ladies..........Here are two of my favs from Folk:

Lighting From The Folk at Re-Surface Design...................How Sick Are These?

RE-SURFACE produces a range of lighting and interior décor objects with design in mind & art at heart. Designs by Donna Brady (shouts to hq.









I Could Bag That.....................Lady Bags and Man Bags....These are Crazy!

I've been thinking about accesories for a while now, and I came to one conclusion, Lucky Loves Bags. I do, I do, I do-hoo.....I used to carry a brief to the office and upgraded to a messenger which was a more comfortable carry. For the Spring, I feel that the "Man Purse" and "Lady Bags" will make a big splash. Check out some of my favorites styles from Moop and CallieCo, enjoy!

"These Drunk and Hot Girls".................La, La, La, La.......


“I’ll sober up when I’m behind the wheel”

"We’ve gotta hand it to whatever agency created these ads for ARRIVE ALIVE, an anti-drunk driving organization that plans to install these stickers of—to borrow a phrase from Kanye—”drunk & hot girls” in sexually explicit states of drunkenness in men’s & women’s bathrooms in major cities in what must be an attempt to deter “Girls Gone Wild” types from getting behind the wheel after a nite behind the Margarita bong. We’ve already seen the men’s room version in person here in LA and can only imagine what homegirl must have been drinking to crawl into the little boy’s room and set up camp next to the urinals. The money shot is definitely the backdoor view of honey’s thong as she coughs it up in the ladie’s room stall. We can only imagine the amazing bathroom graffiti these sleezy decals are going to inspire…" (Shouts to Supertouch on this one)


“I just need to get it out of my system”

Terroir..................New Spot in NY folks!

I'm sorry but no phone people, but this place looks sick! From the oeno-dude behind Hearth, this 24-seat vinoteca's pouring 24 glasses/200 bottles of new and old world wines, e.g., Monte Bello '92 (from Santa Cruz) and L'Etoile '04 (from the Jura region of France). Small plate highlights include duck ham w/ hen of the woods panini, iberico ham charcuterie, and turkey wings "agro dolce". (Shouts to Thrill on This)
