Sneaker of the Week: Air Jordan 1 Hare Collection
A few days ago, somebody probably hit you with a really lame April Fools’ Day prank but Nike isn’t going to toy with your emotions. They company is releasing a collection of Air Jordan 1 colorways that promise to shake things up for the guys and the gals. This set is so powerful in fact that it had to land in our Sneaker of the Week category.
As previously mentioned, the Air Jordan 1 Hare Collection holds it down for both him and her with two impressive colorways. The guys are given a white and silver pair of Air Jordan 1s trimmed in red and decorated with that iconic geometric graphic splashed across the tongue.
For the ladies, a tan leather build is given a blend of pink, turquoise and magenta to make a shoe that feels dainty with a hint of aggression tossed in. Even the Jumpman logo gets in on the act by letting Bug Bunny take the place of Michael Jordan for a very whimsical tribute.
This collection releases on April 4 to select retailers including Nike.com. If you are logging on instead of lining up, be sure to have that browser open at 10 a.m. sharp.

Songs of the Week: Curren$y, Janelle Monae and Machine Gun Kelly
Another seven days have come and gone and that means it’s time for another edition of Songs of the Week. The competition seems to get stiffer and stiffer the further we get into the year and after the fresh crop of music that was produced this week, things are only getting better.
Last week’s picks featured selections from the likes of Earl Sweatshirt, Consequence and Wale, which was a dope lineup in its own right. This round-up of heat-seekers is certainly no slouch and includes a range of sounds, styles and moods. We present our choices for Songs of the Week featuring music from Curren$y with a little help from Wiz Khalifa, Janelle Monae and her Wondaland crew and Machine Gun Kelly along with a special lady.

"Uber Driver"
Wiz Khalifa & Curren$y
Nearly six years ago, internet favorites and stoner brothers Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y linked up to release the smoked-out mixtape, How Fly, and sent fans into a frenzy. After much clamoring for a follow-up tape from the two to no avail, Wiz and Spitta decided to finally give the people what they want, announcing their upcoming mixtape, 2009, and releasing the hazy cut, "Uber Driver." The rappers sound as if they never skipped a beat,displaying their undeniable chemistry and knack for crafting the perfect bangers to light up to -- if that's your thing, of course. And by the sounds of this selection, we should be in for a big treat when this project finally touches down.

"Yoga"
Janelle Monae Feat. Jidenna
Janelle Monae hits our Songs of the Week list for the first time, taking the No. 2 spot with her new single, "Yoga." The second release from her upcoming Wondaland compilation, the track sees the eclectic singer keeping it a little more palatable this time around and delivering a straight-forward club-ready tune. Featuring Brooklyn MC Jidenna, "Yoga" definitely stands out this week among the endless pile of releases. You'll be giving this effort more than a single listen.

"A Little More"
MGK Featuring Victoria Monet
Machine Gun Kelly may be known more for his wild party boy offerings rather than his social commentary, but his latest single, "A Little More," proves that the rapper has more to talk about than just brews and women. Featuring vocalist Victoria Monet, MGK takes a look at the societal ills of today and concludes that the answer to casting them away might be as simple as "having a little more love" for one another. With that said, the song is also well-composed, sonically superb and when you add that with MGK's focused lyrics, the result is our pick for Song of the Week.

White Castle x Supreme x Vans Spring 2015 Collection
When it comes to greasy spoon food chains, White Castle is an institution. Even if you’ve never had one of their sliders, you have no doubt felt some sort of comfort in seeing the illuminated castle perched high in whatever corner of the country you reside. Supreme recognizes this iconic eatery and immortalizes them in the way that they are best at, via a Vans collaboration.
The collaboration has spawned three silhouettes and each bears the restaurant’s logo in a different way. The Vans Sk8-Hi gets all-over print mid panels flanked by black suede while the Vans Authentic Lo is simply covered in logos. However, the Vans Slip-On keeps it clean with one lone logo placed dead center on its upper. In a nod to Supreme, the insoles are dressed in red for a flashy finish that is just for the wearer and no one else.
These are set for an April release and will be available online at Supreme. Unfortunately, you can’t buy White Castle’s food online yet but these are certainly the next best things.
