Freeway comes draped in Phillies style gear, while the Broad Street Bully is decked out in Flyers orange and black.

CLASSIC!!!!

Three decades old and the Blazer is still going strong, especially as of late. Here it comes in a new grey/red colorway, very similar to the original colorway. The upper comes in a mix of leather and suede.

Sesame Street Fitted!!!

New Era got together with Sesame Street on a series of caps. The Sesame Street characters appear individually on caps as well as all together on one cap. On the back of the caps the Sesame Street logo appears.

Trickstar Pack

Here's a look at the upcoming Nike SB Trickstar BMX collection. The Dunk Low and Blazer Hi are part of the Trickstar pack and have been designed in part by the DQM crew.

Bobby Digital - Digi Snax

Bobby Digital is back! Yes, RZA's alter ego. Now, this might not be as good as RZA in Grave Digga's, but still exciting. The cover sees Bobby seated as the Prince of Shaolin surrounded by a busty and, clearly, deadly harem. A tidy amalgam of personal and shared Wu interests in the drawing.

NICE!!!!!

Coming in full black nappa leather with patent leather accents, the "BG" Cool Breeze is part of Greedy Genius' summer drop. Kicked up with a dash of blue, the shoe is available in limited quantities at select Greedy dealers.

Nike + Human Race

On August 31, 2008 Nike is staging the largest running event of all time. 25 cities. 25 10k events. London, Los Angeles, Paris, Melbourne, Shanghai and Vancouver are among the cities participating.

The event is aiming to pull in a large sum of money for participating charities, including the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the UN Refugee Agency.

As an extra incentive each of the 25 cities will be treated to a special concert at the race finish site. In LA, Kanye will be hitting the Colieseum. One can only imagine he'll be sporting a special mock up of his signature shoe. Moby will take Wembley Stadium in London. Fall Out Boy will be in Chicago and Kelly Rowland in Paris. An excellent event, and one that will surely connect legions of dedicated runners around the world.

Operation Takeback Hip-Hop

Twenty three years after they first linked Marley Marl and Craig G are working again. Partnering to release Operation Take Back Hip-Hop , out next Tuesday. Its the second major statement titled album in as many years for Marley (who worked with KRS on Hip-Hop Lives). Guest shots come from Kris, Dilated Peoples, Cormega and Talib. Really nice to see the Juice Crew back in action (at least in part).

Wii Tag

Tennis, Bowling, Boxing. Yoga. Now, tagging. Is there nothing that the people at Nintendo don't want to incorporate into their newest system?

Well, while not quite ready to fully integrate graffiti into the Wiimote, Nintendo's platform has inspired students and designers to explore the possibilities. WiiSpray is a prototype from Martin Lihs, who prepared it as part of his final at Bauhaus University. Hopefully it will come to fruition.

Nike "Be True" Family Reunion Dunks

Nicekicks reports about the Nike "Be True" Family Reunion Dunks that were handed out to attendees of a Nike event this past weekend. The Dunk has been constructed with materials of the Vandal Hi. This means that the shoe's upper is much softer than the one of a usual Dunk. Hopefully it will soon see a general release.
