Adidas Superstar Wings
Jeremy Scott has been handing out more wings than Redbull, turning every sneaker that he touches into an angel of its own. While we’ve grown accustomed to seeing his heavenly touch executed on high-top silhouettes, this time he goes for the unexpected by using an Adidas staple.
The Adidas Superstar Wings is an all-white affair that goes avian around the toe. Two tiny wings flank that iconic rubber shell toe and it feels as natural as any other Jeremy Scott creation. These are high on concept but low on flash, which almost makes them tame enough for people who aren’t as adventurous as others when it comes to footwear.
This release is currently available at Adidas and should be landing at select retailers soon. With the weather finally breaking, it’s definitely time to add a pair of all whites to your arsenal.

Ben Baller x Supra Skytop
Sometime last year it was announced that Ben Baller would be working with Supra on a pair of sneakers and it was certainly a long time coming for the celebrity jeweler. Well, the sneaker is finally ready to be unleashed and here’s your first official look at the drop.
Using the Supra Skytop as a base, Ben chose to keep the silhouette in line with his personal aesthetic and drape it in luxury fabrics. Black crocodile skin lays over a black waxed canvas toe and mid-panel while waxed cotton laces bring the look together lovely. They are finished off with a red bottom in the ultimate nod to high-end footwear and to simply add a bit of pop to the palette.
If getting your hands on a pair of these slick sneakers is priority for you, they’ll be available on Mar.16 at Supra’s New York City, Paris and Santa Monica shops. If you aren’t in one of those cities, check out factory413.com to get your pair.

NikeLab ACG Flyknit Trainer Chukka FSB
NikeLab is an exciting tech-heavy branch of the swoosh family so it makes total sense that the relaunch of Nike ACG would be helmed by them. The dually branded NikeLab ACG Flyknit Trainer Chukka FSB is one of the first fruits of their labor and boy is it ever a looker.
The shoe boasts an impressive amount of comfort and possibility when it comes to style. The Flyknit upper can carry graphic prints like the block lettered ACG seen on this pair and the free-inspired FSB outsole is heavily tooled for traction without losing comfort. This pair is a simple black-and-white silhouette with a splash of red for style and it’s safe to say that it’ll fit into any wardrobe.
The NikeLab ACG Flyknit Trainer Chukka FSB is available Mar. 12 at NikeLab along with other cool Nike ACG apparel. If you are a fan of the rebirth, we’d suggest copping as many pieces as possible.

Kendrick Lamar Reveals Sophomore Album Cover
A photo posted by Kendrick Lamar (@kendricklamar) on Mar 10, 2015 at 9:41pm PDT
Last week, Kendrick Lamar announced that he will drop his second album, tentatively called [Untitled], on March 23 with little information to go on. But now we get to see what could possibly be the album cover.
On Wednesday (March 11), Lamar shared the provocative photo on his Instagram page. The black-and-white image features a group of black men posing in front of the White House holding cash, babies and champagne. There’s also a white man with X’s over his eyes holding a gravel and is lying on the ground.
No word on what the photo represents but a cryptic message with the pic, reads, “‘Don’t all dogs go to heaven? Don’t Gangsta’s boogie? Do owl shit stank? Lions, Tigers & Bears. But TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY. Its the American dream nigga….’ – lil Homie.”
The words “To Pimp a Butterfly” is in all caps, which further suggest that this could be the album title as well. Again, there’s no real definitive information on the Compton rhymer’s upcoming release from either Lamar or his record label, Top Dawg Entertainment.
If the iTunes listing holds up, we have roughly two weeks before we can hear and see what Lamar is bringing to the rap game. As it stands now, the 16-track project is expected to hit stores on March 23. To listen to his latest single, “The Blacker the Berry,” click here.
10 Most Anticipated Rap Albums of 2015
Freddie Gibbs Drops Surprise EP 'Pronto'
Few artists have been as consistent over the past few years than Freddie Gibbs. The Gary, Ind. D-Boy hits off his fans fiending for another fix with his new EP, simply titled Pronto. Running three tracks long, what the release lacks in length, it makes up for with its potent quality and features Gibbs doing what he does best: deliver lyrically impressive raps while giving you a slice of the drug game.
The tape begins with the sinister-sounding title track and captures the rapper in a more aggressive mood than his more laid-back stylings of his previous album, Pinata. Produced by Mikhail & Pops, the beat is is carried by pounding drums, crisp snares, and enough bass to shake a whole boulevard. Opening the track, rapping “Thug Life, never die, n—-, Thug Life, never die n—- / So bury me a muthaf—— G and put my muthaf—— chopper by my side, n—-” and chanting “I’ma rider, so I ride for my n—–, on the hook, Gangsta Gibbs sounds more than ready for the drama.
“Diamonds” sees a more calmed down Gibbs reminiscing on his rags-to-riches come-up and stunting in his iced-out jewelry and riding out with some bad dames. “White Range” continues the vibe of “Diamonds,” but ups the ante with its infectious, pimped-out soundbed and sees Gibbs is in cruise-control, delivering two vivid verses centered around his checkered past as a drug-dealing criminal and his complex dealings with the opposite sex.
Pronto may be an snack-pack compared to previous offerings in his catalog, but is still pleasing to the musical palette if you’re into some good ole hip-hop.
