0 More Jordans for the Holidays: 60+ Series

The Air Jordan 60+ Series is a favorite of mine when it comes to choosing Jordans. In commemoration of Jordan's 60 point games, he dropped the 60+ series for styles that represent the teams he did so against.

....if you didn't know.

For the 2009 Holiday, there will be four new pairs releasing from next week up until December. The teams included in this Fall/Winter release include the Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons.
My favorites would probably have to be the Detroit Pistons and Atlanta Hawks colorways. There's really nothing wrong with the Celtics and Cavs Jordans, I just don't do well with the ones that are primarily white. The black material on them are more attractive to me.

Air Jordan Sixty Plus - Atlanta Hawks

Color: Black/Varsity Maize-Varsity Red

Release Date: 10/10/09

Air Jordan Sixty Plus - Cleveland Cavaliers

Color: Neutral Grey/Ceramic-Midnight Navy

Release Date: 11/07/09

Air Jordan Sixty Plus - Boston Celtics

Color: White/Classic Green-Black

Release Date: 11/07/09

Air Jordan Sixty Plus - Detroit Pistons

Color: Black/Varsity Red-French Blue

Release Date: 12/05/09

2 New BBC '09 Collection.

For the new Fall and Winter collection, the Billionaire Boys Club is releasing pure crack for the upcoming seasons. The new line is releasing this weekend at the Ice Cream store in Tokyo. The collection will include BBC New Era hats, GORE-TEX pieces and BBC shoes. The New Era hats will be released tomorrow (Oct. 3rd) and the GORE-TEX line will be released Sunday (Oct. 4th). The line is unique to me, and the hats are simple but yet cool.
Kind of makes me think of F.A.D.E.D in a way, just doing us.

0 Varsity Jackets: Colaborations with Parra, Cassette Playa & Nike, Cool Cats & Wings+Horns

If you’re in the mood to desire a few clean varsity jackets that you wish you could sport for the winter, I suggest you take a look at these. I ran across all of these on Freshnessmag.com and they really caught my eye. If these we're easy to find, I'd love to have any.

The Cool Cats line out of Paris, France got together with Wings + Horns out of Canada to create this varsity jacket that will be hard to find. Rumors have it that this will be a very limited edition release, although exact details are scarce at this point.

Nike Artist Collab Series 2009 Varsity Jackets (both pieces are limited to less than 20 pieces in the US).

These shots are from the jacket designed by Nike and Dutch artist Parra. This maroon color is the only style they have, but its still nice

Here is a look at the latest from Nike’s collaboration with Cassette Playa. The teal and orange collaboration is pretty clean. I'm not a varsity jacket guy, but I'm feeling these Nike ones.

Below are the Nike x Cassette Playa Dunk High Premiums that came out a few days ago!

0 These Dunks deserve their Name.

Recently stakeboard artist Todd Bratrud joined up with Nike to create one of the dopest pair of Nike Dunks that I have ever seen. These Dunks are entiled "Brain Wreck" and they deserve the name because right now, my head is going crazy.

"I have to find away to Minneapolis, Minnesota".
Sorry F.A.D.E.D family, these joints are only dropping in Minneapolis MN on October 9th at the Familia Skateshop.

Too bad...so sad (no sarcasm I'm really hurting over these Dunks).

0 Curren$y's New Projects: Jet Files and Smokey Robinson Mixtape w/ Don Cannon

Yesterday, Curren$y dropped his latest mixtape, JETS FOOL and we posted it up on F.A.D.E.D. for y'all...apparently, Spitta is not close to done. Curren$y has been on his grind with the whole music thing and even though he may seem like he's just now getting the recognition, this dude is a veteran.

From the days of Young Money when he came on the scene with Lil' Wayne (the real Weezy), everybody has recognized Curren$y for his smooth flow and hot bars. I guess that's why we can call him Hot Spitta.

After partnering up with Wiz Khalifa for what I believe is one of the hottest mixtapes of '09 (How Fly), it took a little more than a month for him to come with another banger (JETS FOOL).

Curren$y has been keeping fans updated through YouTube and Twitter about his new tape coming on October 6th called Jet Files. The tracklist has already been released and many fans are anticipating that date.

Think he's done?

Never. In the video below, Curren$y is seen with producer Don Cannon discussing another project that they both are working on together. This new mixtape will be entitled Smokey Robinson. To see the kid working with major names like Don Cannon, you just know he's working hard and he will reach his peak soon enough. Take a look at the vid...

Keep doing what you do, Spitta. F.A.D.E.D. is definitely a fan!
We will keep y'all posted on Curren$y next moves, so make sure y'all keep checking in.

Til the next post...

0 Jordan still got NBA money...and using it!

The once NBA star (but still legend) Michael Jordan is enjoying his life to the fullest. The new NBA hall of Famer is building a home on Jupiter. Not to be a joke going with the whole Spike Lee being the best on Mars, Michael is building his new mansion in Jupiter Florida.

The developers of the mansion are saying that it sounds like more of a Wal-Mart than a domicile. Michael house will have 11 bedrooms, a grand stairway, a giant fireplace, a house, and it will be a 37,942 square-foot two story home. Michael has been retired for years now, and is just enjoying everyday because from all his ventures money just keeps coming in, and I believe it won't stop for a while.

Oh yeah, there's also a cottage, and guard gate too. I have no words to say except "WHOA!!! I hope he doesnt get lost in his own house".

Stay F.A.D.E.D...like M.J.

0 Air Jordan 60+: Atlanta Hawks

Before they rocked navy blue, red and white, the Atlanta Hawks used to rock a palette that used yellow instead of blue. Perhaps memories of performances like the one that inspired the above pictured Air Jordans (and maybe those hilarious graphic jerseys from the early ’90s) are what inspired the team to adopt a new look. This Air Jordan 60+ is a not so subtle reminder of one of the many times MJ got the best of the A’s home team. They go with a black upper and yellow stitching just like the Air Jordan 1 Retro Phat Premier that makes up the other half of this backhanded tribute. These should be dropping next month, so F.A.D.E.D. will keep you updated.

Click the "Read More" link below for more pics of these!

Seeing as tomorrow is the first of the month, I was thinking that I should add the October issue of Skateboard Mag, even though they have the November issue coming out soon. The October magazine marks the 67th issue, and of course that would make November the 68th issue. Some of the articles on the October issue include an interview with my favorite skateboarder Paul Rodriguez , also you can find the "Island of enchantment" talking about Volcom Stone in Puerto Rico. Featured articles in the November include an interview with Peter Ramondetta, "Flip's Sorry Triology" talking about the progressive, and retrospectives of skateboarding today.

1 New G-Shocks

Going with the post that my partner BP, put up earlier about new watches, I thought why not put up something on G-Shocks. Releasing next month are a two pack of GLS-5600Ls. The two watches look like the DW-5600 G-Shocks, but with the new release means new features. The watches have increased weatherproofing. Also the watches new construction build allows the watch to be used in 68 degree weather. The watches will be released next month in G-Shock retailers. I personally am a fan of G-Shocks so this is a must grab piece.

1 It's Time For A New Watch!

One of Casio's slimmest time pieces to date, the "Poptone Cubic Puzzle Watch" has a long case with a custom designed LCD display and buttons arranged at the bottom in a Tetris-like layout. Ever since the G-Shock movement has been the main focus in watches and timepieces, most other looks have been overlooked...including the Puzzle Watch.

The rubber case and band make this a casual design but it's functional too, with a stopwatch, alarm and date mode.

With the added touch of an attractive animating display and patent white clasp, this is a modern design that you'll love!

If you're looking to order one of these, you can get them for a slim $90 at TokyoFlash.

Stay F.A.D.E.D.

0 NEW! Curren$y Mixtape: JETS FOOL

Curren$y - JETS FOOL

Hot off his How Fly collabo with Wiz Khalifa several weeks back, Curren$y the Hot Spitta has dropped another mixtape to please our ears. Curren$y is one of theFADEDpenguin's favorite artists, so of course you already know we're going to post this up before most other mixtapes. They don't call this dude the Hot Spitta for nothing, this dude has lyrics for days. Stay F.A.D.E.D. with this one!

PS: Take a look at the cover, with Slater in the car behind Curren$y...yeah only the true reefer heads will understand that!

1 Nike Air Force 1--Holiday 2009 Releases

So far, 2009 has been a pretty quiet year for the Air Force 1 with most recent releases taking a simplistic approach with clean colorways and conservative color blocking. The upcoming Holiday ‘09 collection stays with the same concept for the most part, but the crispy white uppers that were seen all spring and summer have been replaced with some darker looks for the winter. The next few months will see the release of numerous new colorways of the Air Force 1 for both men and women. As you might expect, the Air Force 1 Low is well-represented, but Holiday ‘09 will also see some nice new looks for the Mid and High, as well as some fresh Premium models that use a variety of interesting materials and textures.

0 A Look At The Originators Clothing...SoJonesTV Interview

One of our favorite sites interviewed Adam Bach, who is the CEO and founder of The Originators, a clothing line based on paying homage to “…the early DJs, MCs, Writers and B-Boys of Hip-Hop.” The Originators look has been sported by many big names such as Ice Cube, Lupe Fiasco and even Jay-Z.

This video was shot at a Las Vegas Fashion trade show about a month ago. In this video, SoJonesTV gets an overview of the newest looks from The Originators. They have a wide selection from both the mens and womens looks. Take a peep at the team shoutout tees that they have—the Lakers, Celtics and Pistons. Those are pretty hot, but they also have a lot more at their store online.

0 Oh Shit Ro Spit--Artist of the Week (Sept.29.09)

Roland Coit also known as Ro Spit is the first artist of the week in our new installment. If you haven't heard of the rapper/entrepreneur you've been missing out on a lot. Ro Spit was formerly known as Octane. Himself and he partner Illite dropped an album in 2005 entitled "The Forgotton...Chosen".

Since then he's been on his grind, and hard work pays off because the sky has been the limit for the M.C. Ro Spit has opened a well known business with his partner Rick Williams called Burn Rubber. Later this year the rapper/entrepreneur/DJ will be dropping his new mixtape. As of right now Ro Spit is looking for some help on his album cover. For more information on that you can go to http://www.burnrubberdetroit.com/ or http://www.rospit.com/.

The Burn Rubber family is what I hope F.A.D.E.D can possibly be one day. For more information on the "Artist of the Week" you should follow him on Twitter @OhShitRoSpit, the BR website http://www.burnrubberdetroit.com/ or the BR e-mail ro@burnrubberdetroit.com. Below is the M.C.'s music video "Leave Me Alone", which is also on the radio. It's on WJLB so when you hear it text 77979 and let them knoe that you want to hear "Leave Me Alone" by Octane in rotation...even if your not in Michigan.

Remain F.A.D.E.D, and I hope you enjoyed the first installment in the Artist of the Week!
