Creative Recreation Lacava Sneakers

Hidden laces remind of skate shoes, and they tend to work well when the rest of a shoe bearing them hews to the pragmatic styling of something built to resist griptape. These Lacava’s from Creative Recreation have the proper balance of familiarity (classic vulcanized sole; low-profile silhouette) and surprise (those lace covers look like a crisp popped collar and who knows how your pants will react to the heel tab). Pulling inspiration from the more expensive Turino model (leather; made in Italy), these canvas floats retail for $62 with eight more color schemes in the pipeline.

Rick Ross Birthday Party at Miami's Club Amnesia [Video]



Those that follow this rap industry, should by now know that a Rick Ross Birthday is something to behold, no holds barred and too rich for the rest of us mere mortals. Unfortunately Rick Ross, your birthday happen to coincide with a night where Ioverdid it on the drinks, and couldn't wake up to post on the blog. That's just my way of saying sorry for the lateness.

Anyway, it's a Ross party, you know what to expect. Hilights are  Styles P, Jadakiss, Wiz Khalifa, Amber Rose, French Montana, Diddy, Sway, Cassie, DJ Khaled and more, and that's just some of the guestlist, Dr.Dre made the cut as well and gifted Officer Ricky (sorry, that comes up when I have a serious case of the hates) with a $100 000 diamond encrusted Hublot watch. Guess life is good when you're Rich Forever.

MMG’s DreFilms put together a slick 6-minute recap up above.

Basic House: Pocket Sized Portable House


Goodfellas is too damn expensive if you ask me, expensive to the point where, I'd rather risk a little ding tonight, than pay those guys. "I know, a lot of you will tell me you can't put a price on human life, but I just did." This is an invettive way of curbing drunk driving, and other problems.  I have a friend who carries a toothbrush in his jeans when we go out, just in case he wakes up at someones house, it's logic I don't quite understand, cause morning breath is natures way of ending a one night stand, don't attach strings to it by being all minty fresh and shit. I've justy been sidetracked. here's the deal. Imagine you had one of these houses in your pocket at the club, you and intended victim both get a little too sauced up, and none of you want to take it back to your place, whip this house and presto, accomodation for the night sorted, just make sure you got a condom in the other pocket. How awesome would it be to see the streets of Greenside, Parkhurst, Rosebank and Sandton, lined with the rocking motion of this gold space foil houses?!

According to The New York Observer, Kanye West has set his sights on a similar short film as his 2010 offering “Runaway,” with filming set to take place in the Middle East and involving local municipal officials and film companies. Sources tell The Observer that Mr. West sent members of his team to meet with film companies and government officials based out of Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Doha, Qatar to explore the idea of a production. While details are muddy at best right now, surely more concrete ideas and locales will emerge in the very near future.
