Fixies, Fixed, Fixed gear, track bike — whatever you wanna call them — are all the rage in the urban dwellings, mainly NY, SF and LA. Most hipsters don’t even know why they have one, just that it is the new accessory to have these days. Hell, I can even admit to owning one, although its a single speed not fixed. Not because I’m tryin to be hip but because it’s basically my car for the time being.
Now that they are in the limelight, every company that can spit one out, regardless of whether they’ve ever done anything even remotely bike-related, is foaming at the mouth to capitalize on this semi-fad. Like the hipsters, most have no idea why they need to waste their money building one, they just know that they need to. While a lot of companies put together the most gawdy, overpriced, ill-conceived, unrideable bike they can make up [i'm looking at you kidrobot], a few get it right the first time. Prime example is the Element x Krabo fixed gear bike1. .
If you are hip to the shoe game at all, you know cats have been buzzing over Nike’s upcoming release of the McFly Hyperdunk. Modeled after the infamous self lacing shoes, Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) donned in Back to the Future 2.
While these aren’t the self lacing wonder shoes like in the movie, they are based on the new Hyperdunks with Flywire technology. The Hyperdunks dropped today at UNDFTD in Santa Monica today, with Kobe Bryant on hand for the festivities. So I can assure you, if you don’t have a pair of these in hand right now, you better hit up Ebay, because they are probably as good as gone.
Update: maybe you wanna just pass on these unless you are ballin out of control. Just saw pair on ebay @ 900$ with time left… jebus
in celebration of the 4th of July, 10 deep is releasing a Patriot colorway of their mascot Murko. The run is limited to 200 pieces, so you better snatch one from the 10 deep store while the getting is good, I know i will. I mean a mascot designed after brass knuckles, that’s nothing but win right there.
You never realize how much you miss something till its gone, and god I miss good TV. During the 90s, FOX had the greatest Sunday night lineup ever, In Living Color, the Simpsons (when it was still funny), and Married with Children. In Living Color probably being my favorite of the bunch. It probably launched the careers of more successful comedians then the past 100 canceled sitcoms of present day FOX. Back then no subject matter, actor, musician or TV station, was off limits for parody and utter humiliation. I miss those days, when you could do whatever you wanted to please the audience, alas those days are gone. Thank you dumb parents, bible thumpers, and the FCC for ruining TV with your politically correct bullshit. At least I have Netflix and Youtube to help ease the pain.
