Kicherer – Mercedes SLS AMG Black Edition


It comes as no surprise that German tuning house Kicherer would be one of the first tuners to give the newly released Mercedes SLS AMG an overhaul. Named the SLS AMG Black Edition, it features an overall refreshed exterior with a front lip spoiler, rear diffuser, 20 inch wheels, an adjustable sports suspension, matte black exterior accents and remapped ECU matched by stainless steel performance exhaust system. All of the badges have been blacked out to add to the stealth look, and the interior have been sharply decorated in a black, silver and red color combination. The 6.3 liter V8 breathes out 620 horse power that is a little over the standard 563 horses. via: WCF

DURKL Sunglasses Collection


It is hard to imagine the nation’s capital and the only state where people are taxed without representation would be any kind of fertile ground for urban culture. However, it is in the heart of Washington DC where a group of cycling and skate enthusiasts came together to create DURKL, which also gears their creation to suit their lifestyle. This summer, the label is into some shady business (no, not like that!) and has launched their first collection of sunglasses, the Main Event, and as the inscription on the inside of the arms cheekily stated, these are of “high quality” but “low standards” (so perhaps the least discriminating shades ever?).

DURKL’s first collection of sunglasses sports a generous, angular frame which is hand-crafted from acetate with steel barrel hinges and custom temple milling. The Main Event sunglasses also comes equipped with a saddle bridge for comfort, six base nylon lenses for 100% UV protection, and comes housed in a white microfiber pouch. Veering quite on the side of tough glamor and a little reminiscent of the sportier Armani shades, these are currently on sale online and at DURKL retailers worldwide. Check out the glasses in their own glory and as spotted by hip-hop veteran, Tabi Bonney and friend.

Nigel Sylvester x Gatorade – Go All Day: The Morning Episode Video

It was a night of mayhem– tricking out on bikes, getting the groove on at a grimy but extremely cool local bar on the Lower East Side, and, that’s right, finished a photo shoot. What happens the morning after? For Nigel Sylvester, a night of mayhem does nothing to stop him from going all day. Perhaps, as Gatorade hinted, with the help of half a bottle of electrolytes, spending the morning and the rest of the day on the bike, grinding and riding all the way from Brooklyn into the city is no difficult feat. The second installment to Gatorade’s latest video campaign, Go All Day featuring pro-BMX rider Nigel Sylvester has just dropped. And “The Morning Episode” picks up where the last episode left off– with Sylvester crashing in bed. Two down and one left to go, enjoy Sylvester’s morning and revel in the magic of his energy. Or could it be, Gatorade’s magic?

Nike SB Dunk High QS – Born In The USA July 2010


In Mid-March Sneaker News reported an upcoming color of the Nike SB Dunk High with a colorway taken off the classic American Rock album ‘Born In The U.S.A.’ by Bruce Springsteen, who is better known as ‘The Boss’ by the 40-somethings of our generation. The mix of denim, white, blue, and red takes after Springsteen’s all-American outfit consisting of a white t-shirt, jeans, and baseball cap, with the red-and-white striped ankle padding taking from the patriotic backdrop of the album artwork. Springsteen’s music takes after his experiences during life in his hometown Freehold Borough in New Jersey, and according to N-SB, New Jersey’s NJ Skateshop will release a Todd Bratrud shirt as well as an Anti-Hero skatedeck along with the shoes. These are set to release on July 3rd on the eve of Independence Day so stay tuned for more info

Diddy: The Modern Mogul

Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke by Mister Cartoon



Mister Cartoon has designed quite a few sneakers for Nike Sportswear in recent months, but these might be the best representation of who he is as an artist. Sporting the aggressive ‘bred’ colorway, this Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke by Mr. Cartoon manages to mix the sophistication of a crocodile leather Swoosh with the straight-up West Coast gangsta feel provided by black kevlar on the toebox and heeltab. It’s doubtful that these are fully bulletproof, but the aesthetics are top notch, and you can see more images after the jump. Sneaker News
