OAKLAND iSH: YOUNG BOB- "SHE CA GET iT" MUSiC ViDEO

Young Bob's back with his 2nd single off the Roberto Cabobby mixtape. We were reintroduced with Skinny Jeans and now we're familiar after She Ca Get it. (No Spelling Error). Shot by Aris Jerome, the video features Bob & Nic Nac on the grind for the pearl. Mistah Fab cameo is amusing but the outro scene steals it. A beautifully shot video to accompany a song for anyone who's got their eye on a cutie. Bobby Brackins. So out here.

KANYE ANNOUNCES TOUR W/ LADY GAGA


Earlier this week, Kanye West announced on ABC’s The View that he will co-headline a world tour with none other than Lady Gaga. Although no dates have been solidified as of yet, West said the two will hit the road later on this year.


“She’s talented and she’s so incredible that she’s not an opening act,” West saids. “We’re doing our show together, with no opening act.”

Interesting. It’s good to see that , considering that Kanye is four albums in and Lady Gaga released her first and only album, The Fame just last year. Considering how massive the Glow In the Dark tour will be, and how avant-guard Lady Gaga is, this tour is sure to be a smash.

Kicks/Hi x Reebok Reverse Jam Pack | Sneakers & T-Shirts

The anticipated release of the Kicks/Hi x Reebok Reverse Jam Pack is around the corner. The Hawaiian crew presents a strong set of sneakers, along with a couple of matching t-shirts.

They used a micro-perf suede for the upper-accented by a stamped heel: “HONO” + “LULU” (on the green pair) and “YKWWS” (on the black pair). The colorways represent a home (green) and away (black)-as much of KICKS/HI inspiration comes from sports, island lifestyle (specifically growing up in Hawaii). The predominant color accent on both shoes is their signature shop orange, which they use extensively from their Orange Label cut and sew and bag program as well as through all of their collaborative efforts.

To accent the KICKS/HI x Reverse Jam shoes, they created a new “Natives are Restless” tee in three colorways. They will be including the KICKS/HI “Natives are Restless” tee as a gift with purchase of a KICKS/HI Reverse Jam at KICKS/HI Ward and Makaloa locations-as well as in their online shop on Saturday, June 13 2009. The t-shirt will also be available for sale separately.

The KICKS/HI Reverse Jam shoes + KICKS/HI “Natives are Restless” t-shirts will also be available on Saturday, June 13 2009, at KICKS/HI Guam and Saint Alfred with limited release to select boutique partners later this summer
