New silver/turquoise colorway, available here

Brabus V12

Apologies for the overdose of cars on here lately, but I had to post this!

It's called the Brabus Bullit Black Arrow and it's worth a cool 500k... but with a top speed of 225mph it's worth it.

Check out Brabus here

The new Bapesta 88 sneaker has been released this weekend. It is their first hi-top sneaker, aside from the Chuck Taylor clones, that came in previous seasons. It comes in three colorways and with some nice details. It will be interesting to see how Bape flips the sneaker in the future.

Also Bape has released a new watch. For once its not a Rolex clone and also not a Casio G-Shock collaboration, nevertheless a nice summer watch with cotton strap and an overall pretty simple look.

Crooks & Castles x Know1edge J-Twizzy Cermaic Watch

The much anticipated Crooks & Castles x Know1edge J-Twizzy Ceramic Watch, inspired by the popular Chanel watches, have been released this week. The watch comes in black and white, entirely made of ceramic. The dial features a subtle Crooks Medusa graphic.

In case you are not familiar with watches made by Know1edge, we can assure you, that the quality is outstanding. I think I dig the Chanel's better.

LOUIS VUITTON MILLIONAIRES 2.0

The sunglasses designed by Pharrell Williams and Nigo a while back, called the Millionaire, were relaunched by Louis Vuitton in some fresh new colorways last summer. See them above in the light blue colorway, purple and again in black. They were limited edition, so if you didn't get 'em then, you'll probably pay double, close to $2g's now.

Now, the Louis Vuitton Millionaires Evidence are available. Not nearly as flashy, but still handmade in Italy and in limited runs.

To have Gina, Gina all for my very own

BMW just released this press release for the The BMW GINA Light Visionary Model... I'm speechless, I never would of imagined someone coming up with a concept like this.

You can check out a bunch of screen shots here but pictures don't give it justice, you got to watch the video to see what exactly BMW has come up with.

Linda Farrow x Raf Simons Aviator Sunglasses

This is a pair of Raf Simons sunglasses made in conjuction with Linda Farrow. A little more subtle in style yet still beautifully executed, this style is available in a range of strong and sharp colours which include, red, olive, grey, navy and silver. Again, availbale in very limited numbers, once these are gone they are quite literally gone and we will not be able to get any more. If you really want a pair then order then now to avoid dissapointment.

WOULD YOU WEAR 'EM?

More kicks from Shofolk. You gotta admit, the name "SHOW FOLK" is a dope ass name for kicks! I'm not sure people would like these so much if Kanye wasn't rocking them. The toe part is direct from Nike's Air Force Ones though!

What about that camo cape? Would you wear that? It's sort of like what GI Joe would wear if he became a super hero.

NER*D SEEING SOUNDS DROPS

While writing their third album, N.E.R.D. watched a Discovery Channel show about synesthesia, a neurological disorder that causes people to experience sounds as colors or as objects in their minds. Superproducers the Neptunes (Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo) and their rapping buddy Shay Haley were inspired to create music you could envision as a live show. Does that creative concept work? Hard to say, but the results are experimental and expansive: Specked with ostentatiously weird grooves, "Spaz" and the speedy, jazzy single "Everyone Nose" are destined to go down as some of 2008's most interesting hip-hop cuts. The album also dips into Sixties soul (the sweet "Sooner or Later") and chugging, riff-driven rock ("Kill Joy"), and tosses in big New Wave choruses. But some melodies feel tossed-off (is Pharrell spending too much time writing for other artists?), and you don't learn much from Pharrell's lyrics except that he's horny. The Neptunes don't necessarily need guest MCs to make a great album of their own, but if they want their rhymes to keep up with the strength of their tunes, they need to dig a little deeper than this.

RAF SIMONS VANDAL BOOT

This Raf Simons Vandal Boot is shown here in a navy colourway. Taking inspiration from an old school vandal shape, Raf Simons has brought this style to the 21st century with a perfectly executed model.

These sort of look like upscale SWAT team issue boots.
