FRESH KICKS:

Originally turning heads starting in 2007, Jordan Brand is going back into its selection of non-signature silhouettes to bring back the Spiz’ike. For the uninformed, the mashup pays homage to Michael Jordan’s 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 and 20 signature models. Its White/Cement colorway will hit shelves without any change to its original aesthetic such as elephant print on its toe and heel, exaggerated tongue, lace lock and more.
The Jordan Spiz’ike OG in White/Cement will make its comeback on June 20 for a retail price of $160 USD at select Jordan Brand retailers and online.

Continuing to build upon the Air Jordan 1 Retro line, Nike and Jordan Brand have revealed plans for a “River Rock” colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High Camo. The latest iteration of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High is built around a red and grey design, with a tasteful, carefully-constructed camo layout placed blended in with the grey coloring. Particularly observant, sharp-eyed fans will notice that this new take on the Air Jordan 1 Retro has a great deal in common with the layout of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High “Bred”sneaker.
You can run through a couple shots of the “River Rock” edition of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High Camo above; expect the item to arrive in-store and online soon. Earlier this month, we learned of yet another camouflage spin on the Air Jordan 1. Last week, sneakerheads were also treated to an in-depth, closer look at the OFF-WHITE x Air Jordan 1 collaboration.

NIKE has unveiled the first high-top model from its upcoming Air Force 1 Tech Craft Pack in “Obsidian.” The debut colorway boasts a dark navy blue leather upper that is offset with hits of “University Red” at the throat, tongue tab and leather lining. Other design specs include perforated details at the side panel, a woven mesh vamp and embossed branding throughout. All of this premium material sits atop a classic crisp white sole unit. Take a full look at the Nike Air Force 1 High Tech Craft “Obsidian,” which drops in-store and online on May 27, and share your thoughts below.
For more AF1 drops, Nike’s new Olympic-inspired Air Force 1 ’07 Low has a double Swoosh.

New Balance‘s UK manufacturing operations found its humble beginnings in 1982 in the quiet county of Cumbria in North West England.

RIDES: The Ultra-Rare Lamborghini Centenario Makes Its Way to Hong Kong / Audi Agrees to Sell Ducati for More Than $1 Billion USD

Hong Kong has just received Asia-Pacific region’s first Lamborghini Centenario, an ultra-rare 1 of 20 hypercar that was revealed at the 2016 Geneva auto show.
The eye-catching gun-metal black and yellow whip looks very similar to the Geneva show-stand model, sporting an aerodynamic carbon-fiber exterior shell with yellow accents at the front splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser that weighs just 3351 pounds. The interior mirrors the exterior’s theme with black and yellow leather fixings and premium details throughout. The beastly model is a variation of the Aventador, featuring a similar carbon-fiber monocoque and 6.5-liter V12 engine capable of accelerating from zero to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds and a top speed of more than 217 mph.
The Lamborghini Centenario is unfit for public road use, so these shots by Ron Alder W Photography for Lamborghini Hong Kong may be the only good look we’ll get of the rare supercar for the time being.
If you’re looking for a car with similar performance specs but a smaller carbon footprint, Elextra announced an all-electric supercar capable of 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.

German automobile company Audi has confirmed they will be selling luxury motorcycle brand Ducati for a price of €900 million EUR. With no specific buyer lined up just yet, reports indicate that four potential suitors have stepped up and submitted bids for Ducati’s ownership. The business negotiations have been ongoing since the beginning of the year, but have been kept private for the most part. Reports also indicate that Volkswagen is still in the process of remodeling it’s business plan after the brand was forced to pay heavy penalties for rigging emission tests in 2015. VW was ultimately forced to pay $4.3 billion USD in penalties and buy back over 500,000 vehicles. The company has since rebounded and posted a profit, but has decided selling Ducati is the best move for the business.
Prior to being purchased by Audi back in 2012 for €860 million EUR ($961 Million USD), Ducati was originally owned by private equity firm TPG, changing hands to buyout firm Investindustrial. Be sure to keep an eye out for more developments and, in the mean time, check out more breaking automobile news, like the latest concept model for the BMW 8 Series.

STREETWEAR - FASHION:

There are many sides to streetwear: the city grit, youth rebellion, athletic-minded and more. But in this HYPEBAE-exclusive editorial, Lola Coca wears some of our favorite brands to an up-styled effect.
The London-based singer models with the type of chic that’s European-bred. The sophisticated beret lends refinement to the casual Stussy and Champion sweatshirts or an essential Aries T-shirt layered beneath a vintage Sean Jean jacket. A patent Ninety Fly archive trench coat — paired with matching Kurt Geiger thigh-high boots — and a turtleneck ground the likes of Supreme, while robust Dolce & Gabbana and Versace sunglasses add another layer of cool. See how it’s done in the gallery above.

NEW MUSIC: MARY J. BLIGE FT. ASAP ROCKY / G-EAZY

Mary J. Blige f/ ASAP Rocky "Love Yourself" from Edwin Ortiz on Vimeo.

                             

Mary J. Blige has released the music video for her hit single “Love Yourself.” The visual also comes with a new verse and appearance from A$AP Rocky. Kanye West is featured on the official song, off Mary’s Strength of a Woman album, however it’s unclear why ‘Ye does not appear in this version. A$AP serves as a good replacement, though, as he delivers a slick verse filled with witty rhymes about his lavish lifestyle over the DJ Camper-produced tune. The video is directed by Taj & Dre, and was shot in both New York and Los Angeles.

                             

Fresh off celebrating his 28th birthday, rapper G-Eazy shared the visual for one of his latest singles, “Shake It Up.” The track features fellow Bay Area rapper E-40, as well as MadeinTYO and his brother, 24hrs. The video takes place in a strip club, with pink lights gleaming down the white walls as girls dance on poles and G-Eazy makes it rain with his Supreme Cash Canon. The accompanying visual matches up with the song’s subject manner, in which G-Eazy celebrates his come-up after a number of struggles.
Speaking of G-Eazy’s birthday, take a listen to the three singles he put out in celebration.
