Sneaker of the Week: Air Jordan 11 Retro Low Grey Mist
When it comes to sneakers, change can be a very bad thing. Be it a low cut version of a high top or a subtle switch in colorblocking, one wrong turn can turn a blockbuster sneaker into a clearance rack space holder. So to see Nike get it extremely right with this Air Jordan 11 Low release was gratifying enough to deem the flavorful drop our Sneaker of the Week.
The iconic Air Jordan 11 as a low cut sneaker has been generally accepted but something about this specific colorway really brings the style into its own. The blend of midnight navy patent leather and grey mist mesh works exceptionally well together and ice blue outsole that it sits atop is absolute perfection.
You’ll be able to cop these special edition Air Jordans on April 11 at 10 a.m. sharp over at Nike. They’ll probably be at a retailer near you as well if you’d like to get some fresh air while getting your fresh Airs.

Flying Lotus Releases 'Eyes Above' With Blistering Kendrick Lamar Verse
If you have listen to Kendrick Lamar’s latest album, To Pimp a Butterfly, you should be familiar with “Wesley’s Theory,” which nicely kicks off the LP. The track was produced by Flying Lotusan experimental producer in his own right. Recently, Lotus (real name Steven Ellison) revealed that he has another verse from K.Dot but couldn’t release it until now.
The remixed “Eyes Above” is a special collaborative song that grew out of the pair’s recording sessions together. A previous version — sans Kendrick — can be heard on Lotus’ 2014 effort, You’re Dead! On that same album you can hear the Compton rhymer rap on “Never Catch Me.”
“There’s actually another track that he did on this album that I had to take off for political reasons, but it was a really cool thing,” Lotus told Pitchfork last year. “He came to the house and laid it down and killed it. He didn’t come with no entourage or nothing. It was real special to me.”
On “Eyes Above,” Kendrick spits a blistering verse that recalls some of his poetically-charged lyrics on TPAB.
“I could collide a kaleidoscope with the stars and the moon / The moment I morph in my mood / These are the gorgeous of tunes / Police reported then tried to sort it with criminal views / This is intentional fuel,” he raps.
The song is short but sweet. Listen to Kendrick Lamar’s verse below.

Nike Air Max 90 25th Anniversary Infrared Pack
The Nike Air Max 90 is averting the quarter-life crisis by celebrating its 25th Anniversary with a few very well-executed designs. The Infrared Pack is a wonderfully designed set of three sneakers that revamps the iconic colorway to give it an entirely new luxe feel.
The aggressive runner makes use of two types of reptile skins including black croc or teal snake, which both make an impressive statement style-wise. The last pair goes for a shimmering grey paisley print, but regardless of which one you pick they all are colored up with the classic infrared blocking about the heel, laceplate and outsole.
The trio is slated to hit stores sometime in the coming months and we’d suggest enjoying these images until you can find them at your local Nike retailer. Trust they’ll be here sooner than you think.

Drake's New Search Engine Is Pure Fun
If you’re reading this then you know that Drake has a search engine. Yes, if you obsess over anything Drizzy related, this is the internet tool for you.
The “Let Me Drake That For You” is a fun and entertaining new search engine that focuses solely on the Canadian rap superstar. Simply type any word or phrase and it finds anything that’s connected to the Young Money rhymer.
Type in “beer” and it will show you articles and pictures of Drake holding a cold brewski. Type in “cat” and it will show you pictures of cats that look like Drizzy.
We also love that fact that every time you do a search, a Drake-ify phrase pops up like, “I Be Yelling Out Searches Over Everything, Searches On My Mind,” which is a flip of a line from Drake’s song “Headlines.”
There’s also bonus features like the “I’m Feelin’ Drizzy” key that just lets you watch some weird Drake gifs on repeat. You can also tweet out your search results to your followers on Twitter.
Of course the search engine isn’t perfect. So don’t be surprised if some of your searches come up empty. This portal is not an alternative to the big search engines like Google or Bing.
In the end, the “Let Me Drake That For You” search engine will bring you hours of fun on your desktop. Try it and enjoy!
You gotta love the internet for this.

Air Jordan 9 Militia Green

Nike is out to ensure that you end up with a pair of Air Jordans before the year ends. In an effort to practically force you to fulfill your annual “Jordan Brand cop,” they are launching the undeniable AJ9 in an even more undeniable colorway.
The Air Jordan 9 Militia Green takes the sneaker and replaces the black in its OG colorblocking with militia green. The effect that this has on the build is distinctly subtle but powerful enough to almost totally re-contextualize the shoe and give it an entirely new life. Just imagine how good these will look with a pair of fatigues or any other camo-laden clothes that you need to breathe new life into.
Mark our words, this will be one of those colorways that you see everyone rocking after it drops. You can pick up the Air Jordan 9 Militia Green at retailers sometime in August for $190 a pair.
