KICKS: Nike Releases Its Most Garish Christmas Pack/ adidas Originals Stan Smith "Onix"/ Stussy x Nike Air Max 95 Pack/ PUMA Blaze "Croc Hunter" Pack / NEIGHBORHOOD Lodge CL-Boots
,
With the year coming to a close, PUMA unveils a glimpse to what it has installed for next year, presenting the “Croc Hunter” pack for Spring/Summer 2016. Reworking the iconic running silhouette, Blaze, the sneaker takes inspiration from Blaze of Glory, rehashed to include a fold over tongue to complement a bold Formstrip across the lateral vamp, accented with a light air mesh alongside leather overlays. Constructed from premium croc embossed leather, the upper sits atop a Trinomic sole, providing contrasting riffs and an athletic finish. Available in black and white, the PUMA Blaze “Croc Hunter” Pack drops soon in-store & online from select retailers such as size? and Foot Patrol for £100 GBP (approximately $151 USD).
Japanese cult label NEIGHBORHOOD re-imagines the classic duck boot as luxe footwear this season. Taking the function-oriented silhouette, which was originally used by hunters to wade through marshes, NEIGHBORHOOD has crafted the boot from smooth cowhide with suede accents, with detailing such as contrast stitching, natural storm welt, aged brass hardware and leather laces. Safe to say you may not be using these in any hunting-related activities any time soon. Now available for a reasonable $700 USD online from HAVEN.

Rita Ora Sues Jay Z’s Roc Nation, Demands Release From the Label
Rita Ora is suing Roc Nation. The singer filed a complaint this morning in Los Angeles Superior Court seeking a judgment that the recording contract she signed with Jay Z’s company in 2008 at the age of 18 violates California law, and is therefore not viable, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Specifically, Rita cites Roc Nation’s new endeavors into the streaming service Tidal, clothing, sports management, and other businesses. “When Rita signed, Roc Nation and its senior executives were very involved with her as an artist,” the complaint states. “As Roc Nation’s interests diversified, there were fewer resources available and the company suffered a revolving door of executives. Rita’s remaining supporters at the label left or moved on to other activities, to the point where she no longer had a relationship with anyone at the company.”
The complaint notes California Labor Code §2855 (also known as the “Seven Year Rule”) as grounds for dismissing the contract. The code, in effect in California Law since 1944, states that artists cannot be subject to a contract beyond seven years from the beginning of the deal. The Seven Year Rule has been applied to all facets of Hollywood but has faced a multitude of problems over the years, including a very public and documented lawsuit with Thirty Seconds to Mars.
The lawsuit continues: “Rita’s relationship with Roc Nation is irrevocably damaged. Fortunately for Rita, the California legislature had the foresight to protect its artists from the sorts of vicissitudes she’s experienced with Roc Nation.” As of now, there is no response from Roc Nation, but we’ll continue to update when details emerge.
