A Must Have!

We WILL have these in April when they drop.

Kobe Bryant's Ankle Insurance Co.

Ever since Kobe signed with Nike, his advertisements for his shoes have been hilarious, especially this one for his Kobe Air Zoom IV. The concept behind it is: if you don't have his new kicks, you need ankle insurance... which is very evident at 0:28 of the video, haha.

And if you did not notice, the horse is not real... which makes the ad 231% better lol.

BBC | Ice Cream jacket

This jacket is completely outside the box... which could be a bad thing for some, which I'm sure this piece would be. But for me, outside the box is normal which is why this appeals to me. This jacket is on some Michael Jackson x astronaut in a tuxedo type of shit, haha. But something like this makes me want to work harder and realize you can do you. Peep the ray guns!
