MADE Kids

Super dope streetwear for kids?  Yea, MADE Kids is the pioneer of this category.  This is my first time seeing this type of swagger go into a kids apparel line, and I must say that I'm impressed.  Most, if not all, of these pieces I'd wear personally!  What do you think?  Is it too pop culture for youngsters  their age?

ASIF | The Future of Footwear

So glad I ran across this article via ConceptKicks.  Of course the footwear is dope and innovative.  But the concept behind the brand and the business model they want to take on is so cool to me.  Forget "seasons".  Creativity and innovation should be bound by that notion...just create!  Obviously this new brand is doing that.  Click the link below to check out the full interview.

Dwayne Wade's Way of Wade 2 Sells Out!

NEWSFLASH:  Dwayne Wade's Way of Wade 2 sold out within the first hour!  If you haven't heard, Li-Ning launched the Way of Wade 2 yesterday.  This was super big for the Chinese brand because this was the first time American consumers had access to purchase the signature shoe stateside.

Personally, I love the design language of this shoe and the fact that it's made of premium leather instead of synthetic materials as most basketball shoes are these days.  Click the link below to read D-Wades response to the U.S. release.
