Nike Air Max 90 Essential Light Base Grey / Black–Iron Purple–Atomic Orange

The always-classic Air Max 90 gets a light new colorway from Nike just ahead of the holidays. Here we find the casual running silhouette executed with a neutral hue around the base, contrasted by more lively colors through the heel. While the mesh toe box and forefoot are colored light grey, the leather paneling around the sides is decidedly darker, juxtaposed with hits of light purple around lace holes and heel counter. Supporting all of these features is a clean foam midsole, as well as a waffle-patterned outsole, which has been modified for superior traction in the cold season. Look for this release at retailers such as Premier for $110 USD.

Prince Po And Oh No Join Forces For “Animal Serum” LP

As one half of seminal hip hop duo Organized Konfusion, Prince Po helped elevate lyricism and shape the art form for years to come. After partnering with Danger Mouse for his classic solo debut, Po is now back with Animal Serum, entirely produced by West Coast beatsmith Oh No. The younger brother of beat god Madlib, Oh No has made a name for himself in recent years with a series of acclaimed solo albums, group work as one half of Gangrene (alongside Alchemist), plus production work on everything from the latest Mos Def album to Grand Theft Auto V. Animal Serum hits stores everywhere on February 4th, 2014 via Wandering Worx / Greenstreets. The bond between these two innovative artists runs deep. “Oh No is an exceptional producer who thinks outside the box,” explains Prince Po. “He has vision and imagination within that soul and funk we yearn for. His production sounds like he’s been down with the Organized Konfusion movement since the Stress: The Extinction Agenda LP.” A unique work from two artists known for pushing boundaries, Animal Serum is an exciting new chapter for both contributors. “Fans can expect an inspiring piece of art,” says Prince Po. “It’s funky, fun, political…a rollercoaster ride of life through music.”

5POINTZ.....RIP

Today marks a page in the graffiti history books, one of the few places an artist can paint legally is buffed and slated to be knocked down. 5 pointz, once called the Phun factory, started up in 1993 to discourage graffiti vandalism by encouraging artists to display their work in a proper manner. Many iconic graffiti artists both locals and those representing internationally came and left their mark. Now, twenty years later, the building is being knocked down to be converted into condos to cater to hipster imports. Talent like Stay High 149, Tracy 168, Cope2, Part, SPE and TATS CRU are amidst that history, as well as prolific hip-hop stars like, Doug E. Fresh, Kurtis Blow, Grandmaster Kaz, Mobb Deep, Rahzel, DJ JS-1, Boot Camp Clik, Joan Jett, and Joss Stone. In 2009, the city ordered 5pointz to be closed due to many building deficiencies. A developer purchased the property and estimated the project to cost over $400 million dollars, gentrification at it’s finest. Meres has been curating 5pointz since 2002, and tried very hard to protest against the cities decision, however the city failed listen and from today, 5 pointz will no longer exist.
